Bookkeeping, done right

I'm Ray.
I fix books for a living.

Know exactly what your business made. Never fear a letter from the IRS again. I lead the bookkeeping team at Elevated Tax Strategies. We keep books for businesses from their first year to $100 million a year. Our team has caught up 10 years of books in under 2 hours.

"Hands down, the very best accountant and business consultant I've ever worked with. LLC creation, business bookkeeping, crypto bookkeeping, my personal taxes. A one stop shop. Their expertise saved me time and money."

Two ways to start

Which one is you?

"My books are a mess. I am behind."

The Books Review

Know exactly where you stand in 5 days.

$500 one time
  • Send me your statements. That is all you do.
  • Within 5 business days you get a short video from me. Where your books stand. What is wrong. What it is costing you.
  • A real, flat price to fix it. Your $500 counts toward the fix.
Bonus: book your review this week and the 2026 Ultimate Tax Deductions Checklist is yours free. A $497 value. The same checklist we use with our own clients.
If the review does not show you exactly where you stand, you do not pay.

I have seen 10 years behind. Nothing you send will surprise me. No judgment. Ever. And this one is fully private, just you and me.

Start My Books Review
"I have books. Are they right?"

The Second Opinion

Free one month, redone
  • Send me one month of statements. I redo that month on Kick, on camera. A new video drops every Monday on YouTube. In the video you are just a first name and an industry. "Mike, HVAC." That is it.
  • You watch me work. Side by side with your current books, you see exactly what they are missing. Most people are missing deductions every month.
  • If your books are good, I will say so in the video. Keep your bookkeeper with my blessing.
No pitch if nothing is wrong. You just get the truth.

Here is why it is free: your month becomes a lesson for everyone watching. Your name and your business stay private. Want it fully off camera instead? That is the Books Review.

What happens next

You never lose a dollar here

Both doors lead to the same simple path. Every step you pay for rolls forward and pays for the next one.

1

Start

The $500 review, or the free Second Opinion. You learn exactly where you stand.

$500 credits forward
2

The Catch-Up

A real quote, flat price, no hourly games. Your review fee counts toward it.

catch-up credits back on annual
3

Stay Clean

$500 a month on Kick. Commit to a year and your catch-up cost comes back as credit.

Why now

Tax season is not when you save on taxes.

It is when you find out what waiting cost you. Tax moves expire December 31. You cannot find them with books that are months behind.

"My books are a mess."
"I do not even know if I made money this year."
"I am scared of the next IRS letter."
"A bookkeeper quit on me when he saw my mess."

Sound familiar? You are not the first owner to feel this way. Messy books are normal. Almost everyone I help starts behind. Do not clean the house before the housekeeper comes. Just send what you have.

Sept 15

Quarterly estimated taxes are due. Clean books tell you the real number.

Oct 15

Extension filing deadline. You cannot file without your books.

Dec 31

The window for this year's tax-saving moves closes for good.

Join now and you get months of real tax moves. Join in December and you get a report of what you missed.

I take 10 new clients a month. Start with a review or a second opinion this week.

Pick My Door
How this actually works

Your books. Your account. Your time.

Your books live on Kick, in your own account. Not mine. Fire me any day and keep everything.

No monthly meetings to sit through. When I need an answer, I ask you in Basecamp. You answer on your own time, from your phone. One place. Every question. Nothing lost.

Software does the grunt work. It sorts your transactions fast. But I check every number before it counts. The machine does the typing. I do the thinking.

One big bookkeeping company shut down overnight last year. Eleven thousand businesses lost their books that morning. That cannot happen to you here. Your books are yours. Always.

My promises, in writing

  • We reply within 1 to 3 business days, based on your plan. Miss it, and that month is free.
  • Your month closes by the 7th or the 15th, based on your plan.
  • Tax-ready package by January 31.
  • Questions are always free.
  • My mistakes get fixed free.
  • Your price is locked for 12 months.
  • Leave any time. Keep everything.

Before you pick a door

What if I am embarrassed by my books?

Everyone is. That is the most normal feeling in this whole process. I have seen 10 years behind, shoeboxes, and everything in between. Nothing you send will surprise me, and I will never make you feel small about it.

I already have a bookkeeper. Will you trash their work?

No. The Second Opinion is honest. If your books are right, I will tell you, and you should keep them. If something is missing, you will see it side by side and decide for yourself.

How far behind is too far?

There is no such thing. One year or ten, the job is the same to us. When you can send every statement and the books are cash basis, our team moves fast. Our record is 10 years caught up in under 2 hours. Complex books take longer. But they take days, not months.

What happens to my $500 if I do not move forward?

You keep the video and the full list of what I found. The $500 only credits forward if you continue. Either way, you finally know where you stand.

If my month goes on YouTube, will people know it is me?

No. In the video you are a first name and an industry, like "Mike, HVAC." No business name, no account numbers, no locations. Viewers see numbers and lessons, not you. Want to stay off YouTube completely? Pick the Books Review. That one is private.

Do I have to switch software?

Yes. All my clients run on Kick. It is modern, it is fast, and your books live in your own account, so you are never locked in with me. That is the point.
