Clients
What payroll clients say
"Flat monthly pricing means I never get a surprise invoice. They feel like part of the team, not a vendor I dread calling."
Eli Sorensen

"I came in dreading a lecture about my messy spreadsheets. Instead I got a clear plan and zero judgment. Genuinely a relief."
Karen Whitfield
Owner, Highlands Pet Care
"The fractional CFO work changed how we price jobs. We finally know which projects actually make money and which ones just keep us busy."

Questions
Common questions
Is this a once-a-year thing or year-round?+
Year-round. The whole point of Front Range Ledger is that you have a partner in Q2 and Q3 — when the decisions that affect your tax bill actually get made — not just a preparer in April.
Do you only work with Denver businesses?+
We are based in Denver and serve small businesses across the Front Range and all of Colorado. Most of our work happens remotely, with in-person meetings when you want them.
Can you help me catch up on past-due books or taxes?+
Yes. Cleanup and back-filing are some of our most common first projects. We will get you current, then keep you that way — no judgment about how far behind things got.
What's the difference between bookkeeping and tax prep?+
Bookkeeping keeps your day-to-day records accurate and current; tax prep uses those records to file your returns and lower what you owe. We do both, which is why nothing falls through the cracks at year-end.
What does it cost to work with you?+
Most clients are on a flat monthly plan so there are no surprise invoices. Bookkeeping starts at $350/mo and tax-and-advisory packages are quoted to your business. You get a fixed price in writing before any work begins.
