SERVICES

Accounting that gives you back your clarity, your time, and your profit.

You started your business to do work you love, not to wrestle with spreadsheets at midnight. We handle the numbers so you can get back to what you do best.

Our Mission

Deborah Schaub, CPA, founded Checks & Balances Accounting on a simple belief: when you understand your numbers, you can build the business and the life you actually want.

After 25+ years in corporate finance, Deborah brings that same high-level expertise to small businesses and individuals, paired with the kind of personal attention a big firm can’t offer. She helps entrepreneurs understand the true cost of their products and services, uncover the profit hiding in their books, and stop leaving money on the table that belongs in their bank account.

Her goal for every client is the same: less overwhelm, more clarity, and a financial foundation strong enough to grow on.

Deborah's CPA expertise, patience, and diligence were exactly what my company needed to be successful. She is truly the best!

Who We Serve

Our clients love what they do. They’ve built something they’re proud of, and they pour their energy into their craft, their customers, and their purpose.

The challenge is that the financial side (pricing, profit margins, missed tax deductions) tends to slide to the bottom of the list. That’s exactly where we come in.

We’re glad to help anyone who needs us, but we tend to work best with:

What We Do

The right financial partner takes the time to understand how you actually run your business. Here's how we help.

IRS & State Correspondence

We handle all communication with the IRS and your state agencies, so those letters stop landing on your desk and ruining your week.

Virtual CFO

Get executive-level financial guidance without the executive-level salary. We help you make confident, data-backed decisions as your business grows.

Financial Analysis

Not ready to hire a full-time CFO? We’re the next best thing. We turn your numbers into a clear, forward-looking plan you can act on.

Bookkeeping

You can’t build a money plan if you don’t know your numbers. We keep your books accurate, organized, and always up to date.

Retirement Planning

With so many retirement options out there, we’ll help you find the one that fits your goals, your timeline, and your business.

Full Tax Services
