Services
SGBS Consulting Inc. has served as the go-to bookkeeping agency for new and established small businesses since 1994. We understand what it takes to start, maintain, and support growth in our clients' businesses. Our agency, that Grace Cohen began as a one-woman show, has grown into a bustling corporation through our dedication to quality, accuracy, and providing the intimate service experience that small business owners seek.
A key differentiator among bookkeeping service providers is their ability to understand and recognize the ever-changing challenges that unique business owners face on a daily basis. A good bookkeeper or accountant can quickly adapt to those challenges in a way that benefits clients who trust them with the finances of a business they grew from the ground up.
QuickBooks, the industry standard accounting software for business accounting and bookkeeping, can easily overwhelm the untrained business owner at first glance. This can lead to frequent accounting errors and an overall financial record nightmare. At SGSB Consulting, Inc., we've seen just about every error, whoopsie, and uh-oh a business owner can make - and we can also fix them.
Running a business is hard enough without worrying about your taxes and other financial responsibilities. We act as a liaison, working hand-in-hand with you and your CPA or our CPA partners, to put you in the optimal position for preparing and filing your taxes. Whether you need to file as a business, an individual, or both, SGSB Consulting, Inc. helps alleviate the excruciating stress from the entire tax preparation and return processes.
Do you handle your own QuickBooks? We offer a fully hands-on QuickBooks training course for you or your staff. We get you up to speed on the skills you'll need to manage your Online or Desktop account effectively. Our advisory CFO's analyze and identify your company's finance and operational challenges.

Grace Is the most thoughtful and caring business manager and accountant I have ever had. She unraveled 5 years of accounting nightmares for my business and my personal accounts and straightened me out with the IRS while streamlining my systems. She is exacting, accurate and attentive and expects the same from her team who she treats with respect and gratitude as she treats everyone in her sphere. I am so grateful to her and to all of her team for getting my business back on track and her incredible attentiveness through COVID-19 while going through trials of her own.

Grace and her entire team at SGBS take great care and concern for their clients. The team has handled my bookkeeping for years and I can always count on accuracy and mindfulness. They handle any questions and communication from me or my CPA with swift efficiency and attention to detail. I truly feel like Grace was given the absolute perfect name by her parents because she handles everything with GRACE and ease. An added perk, I love supporting female owned businesses!

I have known Grace for 2-years now and I am impressed by her dedication to bringing the best to her clients. Grace helped me during 2020 to navigate my choices to getting financial help as a sole proprietor. Grace helped me to survive and I am still in business. Thank you Grace!

Looking for a bookkeeper? Look no further! Grace/SGBS is fantastic.
I am a decent businessman but, having SGBS manage our books and keep our accounts in line makes me a great businessman. With Grace and her team on board it really allows me the ability to focus on growing my business rather than drowning in the details.
Grace has helped me tremendously, and you would be smart to let her assist you with your business as well.

Professional, kind and knowledgeable. Helped me set up the QBO for 2 non-profits correctly so the reports each month are always easy, fast and accurate! She showed me how to create restricted funds inside the parent checking account so that monthly register reports could be made with a click of a button and and the board could clearly see restricted donations flowing in and out of the restricted fund account.

I own a flower shop and SGBS Consulting has been doing my bookkeeping for quiet awhile. Grace and her team are the most trustworthy, professional and honest company I have ever worked with. Not only they saved me ton of money but they also trained me in Quick books to independently be able to handle my small business. They are always available to answer my question and are very professional and helpful.
They go that extra mile to keep me and their clients happy. I highly recommend them for all your bookkeeping services.

Grace was the financial bookkeeper for our professional medical business for a number of years. She did such an outstanding job. We were always confident that her assessments were correct and in line with our overall goals. Unfortunately, when we became public we had to switch to an SEC accounting firm.

Saving grace is true to their name. Unfortunately, back in 2016, I had a stroke and they were able to get my books in order without very little help needed from me. Exceptional, detailed oriented, meticulous are three words that in my opinion best describe their work. I highly recommend SBGS Consulting. I have used them for the last 5 years.
