Marietta Bookkeeping Services

Marietta has been the heart of Cobb County for a long time. The businesses here reflect that history. Contractors who’ve worked the area for decades. Home service companies with trucks running all over the county. Manufacturers and family operations that have figured out what works and stuck with it.

What most of them don’t have is time to manage the books. ClearLedgers® provides small business bookkeeping services for Marietta businesses. Monthly closes, clean financials, and records your CPA can actually use. We’re based in Alpharetta, close enough to meet when needed, but we handle most work through cloud systems so you’re not paying for downtown square footage in our fees.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Books closed every month with transactions categorized and accounts reconciled. You get financial statements that show where the business actually stands without spending your evenings in QuickBooks.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books behind by months or years? We clean up the backlog, sort out the history, and get you current. Most Marietta clients start exactly here. It’s fixable and it’s common.

Payroll

Full-service payroll for your crew. Paychecks processed, taxes deposited, quarterly reports filed, year-end W-2s handled. You stop thinking about deadlines and your employees get paid on time.

Tax-Ready Records

When your CPA asks for financials, they’re ready. Clean categorization, proper documentation, straightforward handoff. Tax season stops being a scramble and becomes a routine delivery.

Marietta Businesses We Work With

Marietta’s economy runs on trades and services. HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, general contractors. Home service businesses covering subdivisions from East Cobb to Kennesaw. Small manufacturers supplying the metro Atlanta area. These are businesses with real payroll, real materials costs, and financial complexity that outgrows the shoebox of receipts approach.

ClearLedgers works with Marietta businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in revenue. Big enough to need professional bookkeeping but not so big that a full-time controller makes sense. That’s the gap we fill.

Contractors and Trades

General contractors, HVAC, electrical, plumbing. Home and field service businesses that need job costing, subcontractor tracking, and books that support bonding requirements and bank relationships.

Home Services

Lawn care, cleaning, pest control, pool service. Cobb County has a lot of homes and a lot of businesses maintaining them. We keep the books straight while you keep the routes running.

Manufacturers

Small manufacturers and suppliers throughout Cobb County. Materials tracking, inventory accounting, and proper cost visibility so pricing decisions come from real numbers instead of guesswork.

Family Businesses

Some Marietta businesses have been around for generations. Others are just getting started. Either way, clean books and clear records make transitions easier when the time comes, whether that’s passing things down or selling.

Common Questions

You're based in Alpharetta. How do you work with Marietta businesses?

We're just up GA-400 and happy to meet when it's useful. But most of what we do happens through cloud accounting, bank feeds, and email. You get responsive service without paying for a downtown Marietta office in our overhead.

What does bookkeeping cost for a Marietta business?

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $400. Your exact price depends on transaction volume and what services you need. We quote a flat monthly rate after looking at your situation so there are no surprises.

Can we meet in person?

Yes. Alpharetta is a short drive from Marietta. Most clients find they don't need frequent meetings once things are running smoothly, but we're available to sit down when it makes sense.

My books are behind. Can you help?

That's how most clients start. We do catch-up work to get you current, then move into monthly service to keep you that way going forward. No judgment, just a clean path forward.

Do you handle payroll for contractors with crews?

Yes. Full-service payroll including paychecks, tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. We also handle 1099s for subcontractors. Your crew gets paid on time and your compliance deadlines are met.
