Preliminary notices and lien support
Arizona requires a preliminary notice within 20 days of first furnishing labor or materials to preserve lien rights. Miss it and the remedy is gone, no matter how good the paperwork is afterward.
The preliminary notice drafted and served on the owner, the general contractor and the lender, in the form Arizona requires.
Kept in your client file, so the record exists when you need it rather than when you go looking for it.
Every job, every notice, every date, in one place. This is the document that answers "did we serve on that one" in ten seconds instead of an afternoon.
When a job goes bad: amount preparation, document coordination with the filing service, and recording confirmation. $550 per lien.

We checked all 26 bookkeeping and accounting firms in the East Valley. Twenty-one of them will not tell you what they charge until you have sat through a discovery call.

The scoping call
That is the entire conversation. It tells us which package fits and roughly what cleanup would cost if your books are behind. No pitch, and no quote off a guess: we look at your actual file first.
How many projects you are running at once, or how many units you hold.
Roughly. A bank statement page count is close enough.
Everything that needs reconciling, including the card you forget about.
Each LLC or corporation is its own set of books.
W2 headcount and how many 1099s you issue in a year.
