Small business bookkeeping in Atlanta, GA
Cherokee Bookkeeping is headquartered in Atlanta, and metro Atlanta is our home market. We work with startups in Buckhead and Midtown, contractors operating across North Georgia, creative agencies in East Atlanta, and service businesses throughout Fulton, DeKalb, and Cobb counties. Because we're local, we understand the tax landscape, the banking relationships, and the business pace of this city. We handle monthly reconciliation, QuickBooks and Xero setup, payroll coordination, and full financial reporting — so you can focus on growing your business instead of chasing receipts. And unlike a purely virtual firm, we're available for in-person consultations when you want to sit down and actually talk through your numbers.

Common questions from Atlanta business owners
Do you work with Atlanta businesses in person?
Yes — we're headquartered in Atlanta and available for in-person consultations in addition to our fully virtual service. If you'd rather meet over video, we do that too.
What accounting software do you use?
We primarily work in QuickBooks Online and Xero. If you're not set up yet, we'll recommend the right platform for your business size and industry, then handle the initial setup.
Do you handle sales tax for Georgia businesses?
We track sales tax within your books and flag filing deadlines, but we partner with your CPA or tax preparer for the actual filings. If you need a referral to a local Georgia CPA, we're happy to connect you.
I've been keeping my own books in a spreadsheet. Can you clean that up?
Absolutely — catch-up and cleanup bookkeeping is one of our most common engagements. We'll import and reconcile your historical data, correct any miscategorizations, and get you on a clean monthly cadence going forward.
How quickly can you get started?
Most clients are fully onboarded within one to two weeks of signing up. We'll set up your software access, connect your bank feeds, and have your first month reconciled shortly after.
