Lucenti keeps the books for service businesses across the U.S. — reconciled every month, closed on a schedule you can count on, and handed back as numbers you can actually make decisions from.
QuickBooks makes it look simple — connect the bank feed and you're done. But a connected feed isn't a closed month. Transactions land in the wrong accounts, reconciliations drift, and by the time you need a real number, nobody can tell you whether it's right.
You don't actually know if you were profitable last month.
Money came in and money went out, and you can't say where it went.
Reconciliations are weeks — or months — behind.
Tax time turns into a scramble to fix a year's worth of entries.
None of that is a discipline problem. It's what happens when bookkeeping is the last thing on a list that never ends. Handing it to someone whose whole job is getting it right is usually the cheapest decision on that list.
Packages are built from this list — you take what your business actually needs, not a tier someone else designed.
Flat monthly pricing, scoped to your volume. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, and the package changes when your business does. Need help acting on the numbers rather than just producing them? That's fractional CFO work.
Most businesses come to us with some catching up to do. That's normal, and it's the first thing we fix.
Whatever shape the books are in, we clean up the file and bring everything current before we call it a starting point. No judgment — we've seen it all.
Reconciliations, coding, and the close happen on a fixed schedule each month. You know the date your financials land, and they land on it.
Statements you can read, plus a person who knows your business and answers the phone when you have a question about them.
That's the most common way clients arrive, and it isn't a problem. We quote catch-up work separately from your monthly service, clean the file up to a defined starting point, and then keep it current from there. You'll know the scope and the cost before we begin.
Yes — we work exclusively in QuickBooks Online. That's a deliberate choice. Knowing one platform deeply means we know its quirks, its integrations, and how to make it produce reporting you can actually act on, rather than being passably good across five systems.
If you're on something else today, we'll scope what moving over involves during onboarding and walk you through it before you commit to anything.
Almost certainly. QuickBooks Online is where the accounting lives, but the detail that makes it useful comes from the systems you already use every day. We pull and reconcile data from platforms including HubSpot, Stripe, PayPal, Ramp, Shopify, Gusto, ADP, Justworks, GoHighLevel, Knowify, Optimantra, ProfitKeeper, and MyTime — and if yours isn't on that list, it's rarely a problem.
That integration work is what turns a bank feed into something worth reading: revenue broken out by location, labor by department, merchant fees landing where they belong. Not one lump sum you can't do anything with.
Pricing is flat and monthly, scoped to your transaction volume and the services you actually need. No hourly billing and no surprise invoices. You get an exact number after a short conversation about your business — not a range that changes later.
Tax preparation is handled through our partner firms rather than in-house. We keep the books clean all year so your return is straightforward, coordinate directly with your preparer, and give them everything they need. If you don't have one, we'll introduce you.
A small, U.S.-based team — Lucenti is family owned and operated, and there are four of us. Your books are handled by the same person month after month, and when you call, you get Abbey. Every time.
By a set date you agree to at the start, every month. That predictability is the point — financials that arrive whenever they happen to be finished aren't much use for making decisions.
