Traditional bookkeepers record what you give them and send you a report. PCS goes further. We blend technology, financial analysis, and industry benchmarks to show you what your numbers actually mean and how to improve them.

Our team comes from law, actuarial science, business, software, and entrepreneurship, so you get real-world, strategic advice—not just balanced ledgers. We’re also QuickBooks Online pros and love setting up automations that save you time and reduce errors.

Outsourcing gives you a whole team of specialists for less than the cost of one full-time employee. No recruiting, no training, no worrying about turnover.

You get consistent processes, fresh outside perspective, and reliable coverage, while you and your team stay focused on sales, operations, and serving your customers.

We specialize in QuickBooks Online (QBO) and are fully QBO certified. That’s our main hub for your books because it’s secure, reliable, and built for growing businesses.

From there, we connect your payroll platform, CRM, eCommerce tools like Shopify or Amazon, and inventory systems so your data flows automatically instead of being typed in multiple times.

Protecting your data is non‑negotiable for us. We use encrypted, cloud-based tools, secure file-sharing, and role-based access so only the right people can see your information.

Your accounts are monitored and controlled to keep your financial data private, safe, and backed up.
