The problems we hear most
Books Behind
It's the middle of April and last month's numbers still aren't done. You don't know what you earned, what you spent, or what's actually in the bank. You're running the business on guesses.
Numbers that don't add up
The reports look polished. But the numbers don't match your bank account. Expenses are in the wrong places. Income looks higher than it should or lower. You can't tell whether the business made money last month.
Books that arrive too late to use
Your accountant sends April's financials in late May. By the time you see them, two pay periods have happened and you've already made decisions you can't undo. The reports show you what already happened, not what you can still fix.
Compliance gaps your accountant didn't flag
It's the middle of April and last month's numbers still aren't done. You don't know what you earned, what you spent, or what's actually in the bank. You're running the business on guesses.
An accountant you can't reach
You sent the email Monday. It's Thursday. Year-end is in six weeks. You've left two voicemails. The last response you got was vague and ended with "I'll get back to you on this." Nobody got back.
Why Businesses Choose Datastub
Built for businesses that need accurate books, responsive accountants, and financial operations that actually work.
Quality Control
Will I be able to control quality across an outsourced team?
- Four-tier review on every output: accountant -> senior -> lead -> manager
- Smaller engagements run a 2-3 tier review; nothing leaves with one set of eyes
- One named account manager owns your relationship - no rotation
Real example Story: A payroll provider's filing error overpaid a client's payroll tax by $900. Flagged it, recovered the money.
Data Security
Will my client data be controlled tightly across an outsourced team?
- Role-based access and secure handoffs
- Documented process ownership
- Restricted permissions for sensitive workflows
Real example Story: Cleanup and operating work are separated, reviewed, and documented before anything leaves the team.
Point of Contact
Will I know who owns the work and next steps?
- One account manager owns communication
- Specialists stay behind the scenes
- Status, close, and follow-up are routed clearly
Real example Story: Questions, close updates, and next steps move through one responsible owner.

Datastub is an outsourced accounting and bookkeeping firm supporting small and mid size businesses with bookkeeping, accounting, payroll, tax, cleanup, and financial operations — all under one team.
We started in 2019 solving complex accounting problems for operational businesses with messy books, inventory challenges, multi-state compliance, and reporting issues that smaller bookkeeping setups couldn't handle.
Most clients come to us after something has already broken. We step in, clean it up, stabilize operations, and build systems that help the business move forward.

Real problems we've solved
Quality Control
Quality control across every output
Elaboration:Every set of books, every report, every filing runs through a four-tier review before it reaches you.
A client's payroll provider filed state tax wrong, overpaying by $900. The error was buried inside a routine payroll run nobody else caught. We flagged it on monthly reconciliation. The client recovered every dollar.
Outcome line: $900 recovered Payroll · Service businessIndustry knowledge
Industry knowledge that catches what others miss
Elaboration:We track the rules that change quietly like nexus thresholds so you don't get a surprise penalty letter from 10 states at once.
An eCommerce client had crossed economic nexus thresholds in 10 states. Their previous accountant hadn't flagged it. We caught it during onboarding, registered all 10 states in time, and filed on schedule. Zero penalties, zero interest.
Outcome line: 10 states registered Zero penalties. · Multi-state · eCommerceTransition / Cleanup
Cleanups that catch up years in months
Elaboration:Three years of disorganized books, wrong software, or a bookkeeper who disappeared — we rebuild from where we find them.
Our first US client in 2019 had 30,000 SKUs, three years of unreconciled books, and no clear software path. We evaluated 15+ options, built them on QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise, and reconciled three years of history. That client is still with us.

Questions Owners ask First
The things people want to know before they pick up the phone. Still unsure?
How do you charge – flat fee, hourly, or per project?+
Flat monthly fee for ongoing work, so you know exactly what you’re paying every month – no surprises. Cleanup engagements and one-time projects (catch-up, software setup like QuickBooks Online or Xero) are scoped and quoted separately as fixed-fee. We don’t bill hourly for ongoing bookkeeping.
What software do you work in? Do I need to switch from QuickBooks?+
QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, payroll tools, inventory apps, and common ecommerce systems.
How do you keep my financial data secure?+
We use controlled access, documented handoffs, permission reviews, and role separation across the team.
Do you only do bookkeeping, or also tax and payroll?+
We support bookkeeping, accounting, payroll coordination, tax preparation, cleanup, and financial operations.
How quickly can you get started?+
Discovery can start immediately, with onboarding often beginning within a week after scope approval.
What happens if it doesn’t work out?+
We keep scope, access, and handoff documentation clear so transitions are straightforward if either side needs to make a change.
