Bookkeeping, payroll, and tax preparation for small businesses — handled carefully and on time, here in Montana and remotely wherever you are, so you always know where your money stands. In business since 2017, and a QuickBooks ProAdvisor.
Based in Montana. Remote service, wherever you are.
Work with me locally here in Montana, or remotely from any state — every service handled personally, by phone, email, and online, with no office visit required.
Take one service or hand over the whole lot — locally or remotely. Every service below can be handled by phone, email, and online. Either way, your finances stay current, organized, and ready when you — or tax season — need them.
Monthly bookkeeping that stays current instead of piling up. As a QuickBooks ProAdvisor, I work in QuickBooks to record and reconcile your transactions, and give you clear reports that show how your business is actually doing.
Payday handled on schedule, every time. Your crew gets paid correctly, and the payroll records and filings that go with it are taken care of.
Tax prep that starts with books already in order — no scramble in March, no shoebox of receipts. Because your bookkeeping is done all year, filing is straightforward.
Invoices sent promptly and followed up on, so the money you’ve earned doesn’t sit waiting. You’ll always know who owes what, and for how long.
Behind a few months — or a few years? It happens, and it’s fixable. Past books get sorted, reconciled, and brought current, without judgment.
Need something else? If it involves keeping your business finances in order, just ask — chances are it’s something I can take off your plate.
Ask about a serviceYou don’t need to be in Montana — or even nearby — to work with me. I offer full remote service for bookkeeping, payroll, tax preparation, invoicing, and cleanup, so your business can be anywhere and your books still stay in order.
Remote doesn’t mean distant. You still work directly with me, Robyn — we talk by phone, share records online, and I keep you posted just as I would if you were across town. Montana clients are welcome to choose remote, too, if that’s easier than dropping off paperwork.
If you’re good at your trade and buried in paperwork, you’re exactly who I work with.
Job-to-job income, materials, subcontractors, and a truck full of receipts. I keep the money side as organized as your work is skilled.
Daily sales, tips, payroll for a changing crew, and thin margins. Clear, current numbers help you spot problems before they cost you.
Retail, services, and everything in between. Steady bookkeeping and payroll so month-end and tax time stop being a fire drill.
Start with clean books from day one. I’ll help you set up simple habits and systems that grow with the business instead of against it.
The same three steps work whether you’re local here in Montana or working with me remotely from another state.
Send a quick email about your business, where you’re located, and what you need help with. We’ll talk through where things stand by phone or email — no obligation, no pressure.
I review your current books, clean up anything that’s behind, and set up a simple rhythm for getting me what I need each month — in person or online, whichever suits you.
Books kept current, payroll on schedule, and tax time handled with everything already in order. You run the business; I’ll watch the numbers.
I’m Robyn, and I founded In the Black Bookkeeping & Tax in 2017. I run it from Montana, and I’m a QuickBooks ProAdvisor. Until now, every client has come to me by referral — someone’s accountant, neighbor, or fellow business owner passing along my name. I take that seriously: it means the work has to be right, and people have to be glad they called.
You’ll always deal with me directly. No rotating staff, no being passed around — just one person who knows your business, knows your books, and answers when you reach out.
Many of my clients are here in Montana; others work with me remotely from different states entirely — and plenty of Montana clients choose remote, too, just for the convenience. With today’s tools, distance doesn’t matter — careful, personal service does.

No. I’m based in Montana and work with local clients, and I also offer remote service to businesses in other states — and to Montana businesses that prefer it. Bookkeeping, payroll, and tax work can all be handled remotely by phone, email, and online — wherever your business is.
Yes. Every service — bookkeeping, payroll, tax preparation, invoicing, and cleanup — is available remotely. We’ll talk by phone and email, you’ll share records online, and I’ll send reports and updates the same way. You never need to visit an office, and you still work directly with me.
Not at all — it’s one of the most common reasons people reach out. Cleanup and catch-up work is a regular part of what I do. We’ll get past months sorted and reconciled, then keep things current from there.
Yes — that’s the point of having both under one roof. When the same person keeps your books all year, tax preparation is faster, cleaner, and full of fewer surprises.
Pick what you need. Some clients hand over bookkeeping, payroll, invoicing, and taxes; others start with just cleanup or payroll. We’ll set it up around your business, and you can add more anytime.
Yes — I’m a QuickBooks ProAdvisor. If you already use QuickBooks, I can work in your books as they are; if you’re starting fresh or need a cleanup, I can help get QuickBooks set up cleanly and keep it current.
