Bookkeeping for court reporting professionals

You keep the record clean.
I'll keep the books clean.

Bookkeeping built specifically around the needs of court reporting professionals. I know your world — the page rates, the 1099 scopists and proofers, the quarterly taxes, the feast-and-famine months — so you never have to explain your business. You just hand over the books and get back to the work that pays.

I speak your language

Two kinds of clean records.
I handle one of them.

You already spend your days making sure every word is accurate, every name spelled right, every page certified. The last thing you want after a long depo is to stare down a pile of receipts and an untouched QuickBooks file.

Because I come from this world, you get to skip the part where you explain how your business works. I already understand how reporters get paid and what your books need to look like — and where your situation is a little different, I'll ask the right questions to get it exactly right for you.

Your job

Capture every word verbatim, proof it, certify it, and deliver a flawless transcript on deadline.

My job

Capture every dollar accurately, reconcile it, categorize it, and hand you flawless, tax-ready books each month.

What I take off your plate

Quiet, accurate bookkeeping — built around how reporters actually work.

Whether you're a solo reporter writing your own transcripts or an agency juggling a roster of contractors, your books get the same careful, detail-obsessed attention you give the record.

Monthly bookkeeping

Every transaction recorded and categorized, your books closed cleanly each month so you always know where you stand.

Bank & card reconciliation

Statements matched to the penny across every account, so nothing slips through and every number is one you can trust.

Clear monthly reports

Profit & loss, balance sheet, and cash flow in plain language — so you can finally see how your business is really doing.

Estimated-tax readiness

Books kept current all year so your quarterly estimates and year-end filing hand off to your CPA with zero scramble.

Contractor & 1099 prep

Payments to your scopists and proofreaders logged and organized all year, so everything's clean and ready to hand to your CPA at tax time — no January panic.

Catch-up & cleanup

Behind or never started? I bring messy or missing months current and get everything organized, so we begin on books you can trust.

Hi, I'm Ana

I built this for the women who built this industry.

For years I worked behind the scenes in court reporting — close enough to the work to know exactly how a reporting business runs, where the money comes from, and how easily the books get away from you when you're slammed with deadlines.

I watched so many talented reporters and agency owners — most of them women — pour everything into their craft while their finances quietly turned into a source of stress. That's the part I love, and that's the part I want to take off your hands.

Gro Your Co exists to give you organized, trustworthy, genuinely understood books — from someone who's already lived in your world.

Why it's worth it

Whether you're solo or an agency, good books pay for themselves.

Plenty of reporters keep their own books — until the stress, the missed deductions, and the lost hours start costing more than the help ever would. Here's what a real bookkeeper actually saves you.

Less stress, more headspace

No more dreading month-end, scrambling before quarterly taxes, or that low-grade worry that something's slipping. Your books are simply handled, so your mind is free for the work that actually pays.

Money you'd otherwise lose

Disorganized books quietly cost you — missed deductions, expenses no one tracked, and a CPA charging extra to untangle a year of mess. Clean books all year often save more than they cost at tax time.

Hours back in your week

The evenings you spend wrestling with QuickBooks are hours you could bill, rest, or grow your practice. Handing the books off turns admin time back into earning time — or simply time for yourself.

The truth is, books rarely become a crisis overnight — they slip a little at a time until tax season turns into a panic. Staying clean all year is far cheaper, calmer, and safer than cleaning up later — and it's exactly what I'm here for.

Simple, honest pricing

Plans that fit a solo reporter or a growing agency.

Every business is a little different, so each plan starts here and is tailored to your transaction volume and the services you actually need. No long contracts, ever.

  • Expanded year-end CPA hand-off, for clients who need extra supportfrom $250
  • Each account beyond the ones in your plan$50–$100/mo

Most solo reporters — even those who use a scopist or proofer — start with Solo Reporter Books. Agencies managing a team and multiple clients choose Agency Books. If you want weekly visibility and hands-on support, Agency Financial Ops is for you.

Having someone who already understood page rates, 1099s, and how my income actually flows meant I never had to explain my business. I just handed it over — and finally exhaled.

Good questions

Everything you might be wondering.

Do you only work with court reporters?
Court reporting is my home turf and where I add the most value, but I happily work with other small service-based business owners too. If you run a tidy little business and want your books handled with care, we'll get along just fine.
I'm a solo reporter — am I too small to need this?
Not at all. Solo reporters are exactly who the Solo Reporter Books plan was built for. In fact, the earlier you get clean books and a tax set-aside habit in place, the less stressful every quarter and every tax season becomes.
My books are a mess and I'm embarrassed. Is that a problem?
Truly not — and please don't be embarrassed. Messy, behind, or never-started books are completely normal for busy reporters. The one-time clean-up exists for exactly this. We get everything current, then keep it that way.
QuickBooks or Xero — which do you use?
Both. If you already have one set up, I'll work inside it. If you're starting fresh, I'll recommend the best fit for your business and get it set up properly during onboarding.
Do you do my taxes?
I keep your books so clean and current that tax time is simple — and I coordinate directly with your CPA or tax preparer for a smooth hand-off. If you don't have one, I can point you toward trusted professionals.
How do we work together if I'm in another state?
Everything is handled securely online, so it doesn't matter where you're located. Reporters and agencies across the country can work with me exactly the same way.
