Why choose us
Why Tempe businesses choose CR Bookkeeping
Tempe runs on two clocks. Arizona State sets one of them, and the restaurants, bars and retail along Mill Avenue feel every week of the academic calendar. The Rio Salado corridor runs on the other, with software companies, staffing firms and professional services that have nothing to do with the semester at all.
Both are demanding in the books for different reasons. Hospitality means high card volume, tipped employees and payroll that has to be right every single run. Tech and services means project revenue, contractors who may or may not be contractors, and investors or lenders who want reports on a schedule. Neither tolerates a file that gets closed whenever there is time.
CR Bookkeeping Services is run by Robert Guararra from Fountain Hills, around Mill Avenue, Tempe Town Lake and the Rio Salado corridor. The work happens inside your accounting file, so you get a bookkeeper who knows the Tempe market without paying for anyone to sit in traffic.

Questions
Tempe questions we get asked
Do you handle tipped payroll for Tempe restaurants?
Yes. Tips, reporting and the payroll tax treatment that goes with them are part of the run, and the payroll is posted into the books so your labor cost shows up correctly in the profit and loss rather than as a lump sum you cannot break down.
How long does a cleanup take?
It depends how far back it goes and how many transactions are involved. Robert looks at the file first and gives you a quote and a timeframe before any work starts.
Do I have to sign up for monthly bookkeeping too?
No. Setup and cleanup can be a one-off piece of work, and plenty of owners do exactly that and decide about the monthly service afterwards.
Do you actually serve Tempe, or just list it?
Robert works from Fountain Hills and takes on clients across Tempe and the rest of the East Valley. Almost all of the work happens inside your accounting file, so being down the road matters less than being reachable, and he answers his own phone.
