Founder

Who you'll work with

Founded and led by Liliane Larsen since 2001.

Before founding Larsen Bookkeeping, Liliane was a vice president in private banking at Citibank and Chase Manhattan in New York. Today she and her team work with clients entirely online: in QuickBooks Online, and by phone, email, and screen share.

“We have used Larsen Bookkeeping Services for over 8 years and could not be more satisfied. Liliane is accurate, thorough, timely and reliable.”

John Lalone Founder & President, The Lalone Group · Norwell, MA

What to expect

Your books, kept current every month. Your accounts, reconciled. Your numbers, explained by a real person who knows your business.

Services

Start where your books are today.

Most clients begin in one of three places. If you're not sure which fits, that's what the free consultation is for.

“I want reliable ongoing help.”

Monthly bookkeeping

We keep your books current in QuickBooks Online, month after month, so you can see where the business stands.

  • Transactions recorded and categorized
  • Accounts reconciled every month
  • Reports kept up to date
About monthly bookkeeping

“My books are behind or need correcting.”

Cleanup & catch-up

We bring a QuickBooks Online file that has fallen behind, or gone wrong, back to accurate and organized.

  • Missing months entered
  • Accounts reconciled to the bank
  • Expenses recategorized, ready for tax time

How it works

What working together looks like.

  1. Talk it through

    A free consultation about your business, how the books are kept today, and what you need. There's no obligation.

  2. Agree on the scope

    You get a recommendation and a quote before any work begins. If the books need a cleanup first, that's scoped on its own.

  3. Start the work

    Ongoing monthly bookkeeping, or a one-time project: a cleanup, an evaluation, training, or a conversion.

From you
Access to your QuickBooks Online file, the documents we ask for (shared digitally), and answers to occasional questions.
From us
The agreed work, done in QuickBooks Online, and a person you can reach by phone or email.
What you receive
It depends on the service: current books and reports, a corrected file, findings and recommendations, training on your own file, or a completed migration.

About

Private banking standards, applied to small business books.

Liliane Larsen began her career in New York City after graduating from Iona College with a degree in international business, and served as a vice president in the private banking divisions of Citibank and Chase Manhattan.

In 2001 she founded Larsen Bookkeeping to serve businesses in Boston and on Massachusetts' South Shore. The firm now works entirely online, with clients wherever they are, and the approach hasn't changed: clarity, accuracy, and care.

Credentials and recognition

Questions

Common questions, straight answers.

Owner-run businesses of many kinds, including trades and contractors, retail, professional services, private medical practices, and law firms. Our law firm work, including IOLTA reconciliation, is for Massachusetts firms only.

Yes. Cleanup and catch-up is a core service. Whether it's a few months behind or years of miscategorized expenses, the process is the same: verify what's there, fix what's wrong, and leave the file organized. You won't be judged for the state of your books.

No. It's a common starting point. QuickBooks Conversion moves your file to QuickBooks Online, with your records checked before, during, and after the migration.

Your books live in QuickBooks Online. Documents are shared digitally, questions are handled by phone or email, and you can see your own numbers anytime, from any device.

Pricing depends on your books: the volume, the complexity, and what you need. After the consultation, you get a recommendation and a quote before any work begins.

We talk about your business, how your books are kept today, and what help you need, and we suggest possible next steps. There's no obligation to go further.
