Books that are current are books you can use
Bookkeeping done once a year is a compliance cost: it produces a tax return and nothing else. Done monthly, it tells a DuPage County owner what each service or location actually earns, which customers are slow to pay, and whether there is cash for the next hire or the next machine.
Net Cash Pro sets up or cleans up the accounting software, builds a chart of accounts that fits the business, connects bank and card feeds, reconciles every account monthly and delivers a short report. When tax season arrives, the books are already done.
Everything a small business needs
Setup and clean-up
Accounting software setup or rescue, chart of accounts, bank and card connections, and catch-up for months or years behind.
Monthly close
Every bank, card and loan account reconciled, transactions categorised, and payables and receivables kept current.
Monthly reporting
Profit and loss, balance sheet and cash summary each month, in plain language, with anything unusual flagged.
Bookkeeping built for how your business works
A restaurant, a trucking company and a manufacturer need different books. These are the industry details Net Cash Pro sets up from day one.
Restaurants and retail
Point-of-sale systems reconciled to deposits daily or weekly, sales tax tracked to the filing, inventory counts tied to cost of goods, and prime cost reported monthly.
Contractors and trades
Job costing by project, subcontractor 1099 tracking, retention receivables and Illinois use tax on materials, so job margins on the report match reality.
Trucking: Form 2290, IFTA and per diem
Owner-operators and fleets with vehicles of 55,000 pounds or more file the federal Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax (Form 2290) every year, and interstate carriers file quarterly IFTA fuel tax returns. Drivers subject to DOT hours-of-service rules can deduct 80% of meal per diem rather than 50%. Those three items are where most trucking returns are either right or quietly wrong.
Manufacturers and distributors
Inventory valuation, cost of goods by product line, equipment depreciation schedules and accrual-basis statements that banks accept for lines of credit.
Flat fees, published up front
Net Cash Pro does not bill hourly. DuPage County clients get a fixed price before any work starts, so a question in September does not turn into an invoice.
Federal + Illinois, e-filed
single-member LLC return
partnership return
starting price

Frequently asked
How much does a bookkeeper cost in DuPage County?
Net Cash Pro’s monthly bookkeeping starts at $495/month for businesses with annual revenue up to $5M. The exact price depends on transaction volume and the number of accounts, and is quoted in writing before work starts.
Can you catch up books that are months or years behind?
Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is common. Net Cash Pro reconstructs the missing periods from bank and card statements, reconciles them, files any late returns and then moves the business onto a monthly schedule.
Which accounting software do you use?
Net Cash Pro works in the major small business platforms, including QuickBooks Online, and can set up new software or take over an existing file. The goal is books that are accurate, current and accessible to the owner at any time.
Do I need a bookkeeper if I already have a tax preparer?
Usually, yes. A tax preparer works from the books; a bookkeeper creates them. With Net Cash Pro, the same firm does both, so the books are kept with the return in mind and nothing is lost between the two.
