The Problem We Solve

You're Good at Your Trade.
The Books Are Another Story.

You didn't start your HVAC company, construction business, or millwork shop to spend weekends reconciling accounts. But messy books mean you don't know where your money is going, you dread tax season, and you're making decisions based on guesswork.

That's where we come in.

Books Months Behind

Every month you put it off, the catch-up gets harder. We've seen it all — no judgment.

Making Decisions in the Dark

Without clean numbers, you can't know which jobs are profitable or where your cash is going.

Tax Season Dread

Scrambling every year, dreading the IRS, wondering what you owe. There's a better way.

QuickBooks Is a Mess

Set up wrong or never properly configured, it creates more confusion than clarity.

Why Cross Bookkeeping and Tax

Built by People Who've Been Inside a Business Like Yours

Most bookkeepers will tell you they understand small business. We can show you why we do.

01

16 Years Inside a Trade Business

Scott VanSlooten managed the books for a millwork company on Jacksonville's north side for 16 years. He knows what job costing looks like in the real world and what a payroll headache feels like on a Friday afternoon.

02

Someone Who Makes You Comfortable

Ron Ross has a natural ability to make clients feel safe being honest about their finances. Most owners are embarrassed about how behind their books are. That conversation doesn't have to be shameful.

03

You Run Your Business. We Handle the Books.

We get you back to doing what you're good at — without worrying about what's happening in your accounts.

Meet the Team

Two Experienced Partners. One Shared Goal.

On every consultation call, you get both of us — Ron leads the conversation, Scott brings the technical depth. Nothing falls through the cracks.
