Market Reality in Sacramento 

In a perfect world, you’d get on-time closes, clean workpapers, and fixed fees—every month. If this sounds familiar, we’ll fix the foundations first—then deliver reporting you can rely on.

What Sacramento business owners tell us before switching:

 

Our reports arrive late, so we’re flying blind.

Sales tax and payroll were off—year-end was a scramble.

We keep getting surprise bills and scope creep.

No industry context — they don’t get tech/startups, e-commerce, clinics, or restaurants.

If this sounds familiar, we’ll fix the foundations first, then deliver reporting you can rely on 

Why Sacramento companies switch to Orbit

  • Reports land on time (target ≤30 days after month-end) so you’re never flying blind.

  • Fixed monthly pricing— predictable OPEX, clear scope.

  • California sales tax tracked and filed on time; no penalties.

  • Cloud stack that works: QBO or Xero + Dext/Hubdoc; Shopify, Stripe, Square, Jane, and more.

  • Orbit Portal for secure uploads, approvals, and status tracking—no document chasing.

Orbit vs Alternatives

They deliver basic entries with delays. Orbit delivers reconciled books, clean workpapers, and timely closes.

Vs in-house single bookkeeper

Avoid a single point of failure. With Orbit you get a team, coverage, and CPA oversight.

Vs audit-first firms

Others focus only on year-end compliance. Orbit is built for management reporting, every month.

Vs software-only tools

Automation misses context. Orbit combines technology with human judgment and audit-ready reconciliations
