Northern Bookkeeping and Accounting

Northern Bookkeeping and Accounting LLC (Northern BA) provides outsourced monthly bookkeeping, QuickBooks Online cleanup, and payroll administration for small businesses, trades, and service-based companies. Based in Lake Villa, Illinois, we serve local businesses across Lake County, McHenry County, and Southeast Wisconsin, as well as remote clients nationwide.

Founded by Daniel Mascote—an MBA, Intuit Certified Bookkeeping Professional, and Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor—Northern BA combines corporate financial operations experience with hands-on small-business ownership. We understand that business owners did not start their companies to spend nights and weekends reconciling bank feeds, chasing receipts, or untangling messy ledgers. Our goal is to take the administrative burden off your plate so you can make confident decisions backed by accurate, tax-ready numbers.

Core Services:

• Monthly Bookkeeping & Bank Reconciliations
• QuickBooks Online Setup, Catch-Up & Historical Cleanups
• Full-Service Payroll Administration via Gusto
• Monthly Financial Reporting (Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow)
• Job Costing & Expense Tracking for Field-Service & Trade Businesses

We operate on transparent, fixed-rate monthly pricing with no surprise hourly billing and zero judgment—no matter how far behind your books may be. Whether you need a one-time historical cleanup or an ongoing financial partner, Northern BA keeps your books organized, compliant, and ready for your CPA at tax time.
