A Simple Workflow That Fits How Columbus Businesses Operate

Bookkeeping Built for Businesses That Need Clarity, Not Catch-Up

In Columbus, bookkeeping isn’t about keeping records tidy. It’s about knowing where your business actually stands before you hire, price, invest, or expand.


As operations grow—more employees, more vendors, more transactions—small bookkeeping delays start creating big problems. Margins get harder to track. Cash flow feels unpredictable. Decisions start relying on instinct instead of numbers.


Straight Talk CPAs provides bookkeeping built for growing Columbus businesses that need clean, current, dependable data. We keep your books accurate and structured so your numbers are useful—not just “done.”


No backlog.
No guessing.
Just financials you can trust.

Clean Books Are About Control, Not Compliance

When bookkeeping slips, control slips with it.


Pricing gets fuzzy.
Cash surprises show up late.
Hiring decisions feel risky.


Our bookkeeping turns everyday transactions into clear financial visibility, so you always know what’s working and where pressure is building.


With our bookkeeping, you get:

  • Accurate, CPA-reviewed transaction categorization
  • Clear visibility into cash flow, spend, and margins
  • Books that are tax-ready well before deadlines
  • Monthly reports you can actually use for decisions
  • A consistent structure that scales as your business grows



This isn't a data entry.
It’s financial discipline.

We Work Inside the Accounting Software You Already Use

We don’t force new tools. We work directly inside the accounting platforms you already rely on — QuickBooks Online, Xero, Gusto, BILL, Stripe, and other modern systems. If your setup is solid, we optimize it. If it’s holding you back, we help you upgrade without disrupting your workflow.
