Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about working with us

Who will actually be doing my bookkeeping?
You work directly with Douglas and Alex Caire — no offshore team and no rotating account managers. Both are certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors, so the people who set up your books are the same people who close them each month.
What makes CreditReady different from other Houston bookkeeping firms?
Most bookkeepers record history. We combine 40 years of commercial banking experience with hands-on QuickBooks Online work, so your financials are structured the way lenders and underwriters expect to read them.
Do you only work with businesses in Houston?
We're based in Greater Houston and serve clients across Cypress, Katy, Spring, Sugar Land, Tomball, Klein, Conroe and Jersey Village. Because everything runs in QuickBooks Online, we also support businesses statewide and remotely.
What kinds of businesses do you serve?
Small and mid-sized companies in construction and trades, professional services, law firms needing IOLTA trust compliance, real estate, retail and e-commerce, and healthcare practices — typically from startup through about $10M in revenue.
Can you help me get my books ready for a bank or SBA loan?
Yes. Loan readiness is our specialty. We clean up prior-year records, reconcile every account, and prepare the profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow statements a lender or SBA underwriter will request.
How do I get started with CreditReady Bookkeeping?
Book a free consultation. We review your current books and goals, tell you exactly what cleanup (if any) is needed, and send a flat monthly quote before any work begins.
