practice areas: bookkeeping & notary services

Reserve Accounting was built to give small businesses, property owners, and busy New Yorkers something hard to find: controller-level financial support that doesn't require an office visit.

Our professionals have run full-cycle accounting for multi-entity real estate portfolios — month-end and year-end close, general ledger management, reconciliations, owner reporting, and budget-to-actual analysis — and have served in controller and senior project accounting roles within real estate development, as well as hands-on operational bookkeeping across industries. That depth shows up in every engagement: your books are handled to the standard of a corporate finance department.

The team holds six QuickBooks certifications, AppFolio Certified Specialist credentials for property management accounting, advanced business degrees, and a New York State notary commission for remote notarization statewide. You'll always know where your books stand — and exactly what you're signing.

Based in Brooklyn, New York, and working with clients everywhere remotely.

Questions

Common questions

Is remote notarization legal in New York?

Yes. New York law authorizes commissioned notaries to perform electronic notarizations, including for signers appearing by secure audio-video technology. The resulting document has the same legal effect as an in-person notarization.

Can you notarize a document if I'm outside New York?

In many cases, yes — under New York's electronic notarization rules, the notary performs the act from within New York while the signer may be located elsewhere, subject to the requirements of Executive Law §135-c. Send your details in the notary request form and you'll get a definitive answer for your situation.

Do I need QuickBooks to work with you?

No — if you're starting fresh, QuickBooks will be set up correctly from day one. If your existing books are behind or messy, cleanup and catch-up work is a specialty and is quoted flat, in advance.

How does monthly bookkeeping pricing work?

You choose a package (Essential, Growth, or Full Service) and your flat monthly rate is set at the free consultation based on your transaction volume and accounts. The rate is fixed in writing before work begins.

How quickly can a notarization be scheduled?

Most sessions are scheduled within 24–48 hours, and same-day appointments are often available. Evening and weekend times can be requested in the form below.

Is my financial information secure?

Yes. Bookkeeping work is done through QuickBooks' secure access (never shared passwords), documents move through secure links, and notary sessions use encrypted audio-video with identity verification as New York law requires.
