Hi, I'm Andrew Witter.
I founded Arden Creative. I'm also an artist and drummer, so I know what it's like to run on creative energy and still need the numbers to work.
My job: handle the books, then help you build a plan that actually gets used.
Before you book
How much does bookkeeping cost?
Bookkeeping starts at $250/month, and Bookkeeping + Fractional CFO starts at $1,500/month. Your exact price depends on transaction volume and what you hand off. Use the price estimator above for a ballpark, and you'll get an exact number after your session.
Can you catch up my books if I'm months behind?
Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is billed at your monthly rate for each month behind, and it's quoted up front after your session.
Do you work in QuickBooks?
Yes. I'm a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor. If you're on something else, we'll talk it through in your session.
Do you only work with creative businesses?
No. Creative, beauty, and trades businesses are my focus, but I work with small businesses across Grand Rapids and West Michigan.
Do I have to be local?
No. I'm based in Grand Rapids, but everything can be done virtually.
What if my books are a mess?
That's exactly who this is for. Your session tells you how big the mess is and what it would take to fix.
Do I keep the plan if we don't work together?
Yes. It's yours either way.
Your numbers should help you grow, not keep you up at night.
A clear plan. A real price.
