Most owners don't have a bookkeeping problem. They have a time problem. The work itself — matching deposits, sorting receipts, figuring out which charges were materials and which were lunch — is simple. It's just simple work that lands on the one person who also runs the jobs, answers the phone, and sends the invoices. So it piles up, and by tax season it's a four-month backlog and a CPA bill to match.
We're Ren Studio. We do the sorting for small service businesses — cleaning, landscaping, plumbing, HVAC, painting, handyman crews — and for online sellers on Etsy, Shopify, and Amazon. Every month's page is checked by a person before it lands in your inbox. No software for you to learn, and we never ask for your bank login: statements only, the same exports your bank and your sales channels already give you.

What lands in your inbox each month
Sample one-page summary — "Sunny Day Landscaping," one month
A made-up company, but a real picture of the page every client gets.
| Money in (jobs paid, cards settled) | $18,240 |
| Fuel & vehicle | − $1,312 |
| Materials & supplies | − $2,908 |
| Crew pay (contract labor) | − $6,450 |
| Insurance, licenses, phone, software | − $964 |
| Everything else, itemized on page 2 | − $1,187 |
| What you actually made | $5,419 |
| Flagged this month: a supply-house charge that posted twice ($212) — refund requested. Fuel is up 18% over your 3-month average. | |
- Every transaction sorted — bank, card, and marketplace payouts matched to the statements, so the page and your bank agree to the penny.
- The one-page summary above, plus the full itemized list behind it.
- A short note on anything odd — duplicate charges, fees creeping up, a cost category quietly growing. The things a bank balance never tells you.
- January 1099 help — when the season comes, we already have your contractor payments sorted, so the forms are a chore of minutes, not a weekend.
How it works
1. You send statements — that's your whole job
Bank and card statements, plus your sales-channel exports (Jobber, Etsy, Shopify, Amazon — whatever you use). We tell you exactly which buttons to click; most clients spend about 15 minutes a month on this.
2. We sort, match, and ask about the odd ones
Everything gets categorized and reconciled. Anything we can't identify goes on a short "what's this?" list — usually five lines, answered in a two-minute reply.
3. Your page arrives by the 10th
The one-page summary, the itemized backup, and the flags note. Same format every month, so tax season becomes handing your CPA a folder instead of a shoebox.

No contract — cancel anytime. Your price is locked for your first 12 months. If a month's page ever doesn't match your bank, we fix it free and the month is on us.
What we don't do — on purpose
No tax returns and no tax advice. We're bookkeepers, not your CPA. What we hand your CPA is clean, sorted books — which usually makes their bill smaller and their questions fewer. No payroll. No bank logins, ever — statements only, so there's nothing of yours we could lose.
One more thing, for the nonprofit treasurers who land here: if the IRS has cancelled your group's tax-exempt status over missed yearly filings, that's a different service — our nonprofit reinstatement package, with a free two-minute status check first.
And for the insurance agents who land here: if the pile on your desk is carrier commission statements that never quite get matched to policies, that's its own service — our commission reconciliation, with a free worksheet that shows what the matching is costing you now.
And for the Amazon sellers who land here: if you sell bundles you assembled yourself, Amazon's bundle rule changes on January 11, 2027 — that's a paperwork job, not a bookkeeping one: our Bundle Paperwork Pack, with a free guide to checking your listings first.
And for the sellers who land here: if your books are fine but the files are the problem — payout exports that won't import, statements that only come as PDFs — you may not need bookkeeping at all yet: our spreadsheet cleanup turns the month's messy files into one clean spreadsheet, with a free guide to the 5 payout-file problems if you'd rather fix this round yourself.
Run a CPA firm? We also do this under your name — white-label bookkeeping for CPA firms: your clients, your header on the page, our production behind the scenes, and we never contact your clients.
And for the law firms who land here: if the monthly chore is your trust account — the three-way reconciliation Florida Bar Rule 5-1.2 requires in writing — that's its own service: our trust account reconciliation, with a free monthly checklist if you'd rather run this month yourself first. Statements and ledger exports only — we never touch the money or your logins.
Questions owners ask
I'm six months behind. Is that a problem?
No — it's the most common way people start. Catch-up is $99 per month caught up, and most backlogs are cleared within the first cycle. You'll know exactly where the business stands before the regular monthly rhythm starts.
Do I need QuickBooks or any software?
No. We work from the statements and exports you already have. If you later want QuickBooks set up, your sorted history drops straight in — but nothing about this service requires you to buy or learn anything.
How do you handle my information?
Statements come to us by email or secure upload, they're used only to do your books, and they're never shared. We never ask for bank logins, card numbers, or passwords — there is nothing in our files that could spend your money.
What if I sell in more than one place?
That's the Grow tier: two sales channels, each broken out separately, so you can see whether the Etsy shop or the service calls are actually carrying the business. Sellers are often surprised by that page.
