Your books, handled by someone who picks up the phone.
Accurate, on-time bookkeeping for small businesses — categorization, reconciliation, and reports you can actually understand.
Simple, honest bookkeeping
No bundled fluff or upsells — just the core work that keeps your numbers clean and current, every month.
Transaction categorization
Every expense and deposit labeled correctly, so your books reflect what's actually happening.
Account reconciliation
Bank and credit card statements matched against your records monthly, catching discrepancies early.
Monthly financial reports
Profit & loss, cash flow, and a plain-English summary of where your business stands.
QuickBooks setup & support
Already on QBO, or starting fresh? I'll get it configured right and keep it running.
Payables & receivables
Tracking what you owe and what's owed to you, so nothing slips through the cracks.
Year-end & CPA handoff
Clean, organized books handed to your CPA at tax time — no scrambling.
Rooted on the Central Coast
Working with business owners up and down the corridor — in person when it helps, remote the rest of the time.
A bookkeeper you can actually talk to
Hi, I'm John Nunez — the person behind Blue Slate Bookkeeping. I started this business because small business owners deserve clear, accurate books without needing a translator for accounting-speak.
I work with clients one-on-one, which means when you call, you get me — not an assistant, not a ticket number. Whether you're a freelancer, a contractor, or running a growing service business, I'll keep things organized and tell you what your numbers actually mean.
