Starter covers categorization, monthly bank reconciliation and a basic Profit & Loss. Growth adds accounts payable and receivable management, higher transaction volume and detailed monthly reports. Full-Service adds support for more complex books.
Do bookkeepers do taxes?
Linked-do-Books does not. It provides bookkeeping only and doesn't prepare or sign tax returns, give tax advice or represent clients before the IRS. Tax matters are referred to independent licensed professionals, such as an Enrolled Agent, CPA or tax attorney. Bookkeeping vs. tax prep →

Working remotely
Can I hire a bookkeeper who isn't in my town?
Yes. Linked-do-Books is 100% remote and works with small business owners anywhere in the United States, not just one city or region.
Does Linked-do-Books have an office I can visit?
No. 226 S Cruse Ave, Helena, MT 59601 is Linkedd LLC's mailing and legal business address only, not a storefront or walk-in office. All work is done online.
How do I send my bookkeeper documents?
When Linked-do-Books asks for records, send them through the designated client upload page. For QuickBooks, Xero, Shopify, Stripe or PayPal, invite Linked-do-Books as an accountant, user or collaborator inside the platform.
Should I email my bank password to my bookkeeper?
No. Never send passwords, bank logins, tax IDs, Social Security numbers or full card numbers through forms, chat or email. Grant access inside the platform instead.
Does a person actually review my books?
Yes. AI-assisted tools speed up routine steps like suggesting categories and drafting notes, but a person reviews client deliverables before they reach you.
