Bookkeeping and financial services, led by a CPA and a Certified Fraud Examiner
Clean books, on time, with someone who explains them. Bookkeeping, audit preparation, FAR compliance support and advising for small businesses, nonprofits and government contractors.
CPA and Certified Fraud Examiner are professional credentials held by individual members of the Next Plus team. Next Plus LLC is not a licensed public accounting firm and does not perform audits or other attestation services. Audit preparation and support means getting you ready for your auditor and working alongside them, not auditing your books.
What we do
Every service is delivered under CPA supervision and built to work together as one back office.
01Bookkeeping
Transactions recorded, bank and card accounts reconciled monthly, payables and receivables kept current, payroll coordinated, all to GAAP. Each month you get the statements and a short note in plain words on what changed and why. Backlogs and catch-up work welcome.
02Audit preparation and support
Schedules, reconciliations, organized documentation and the responses auditors ask for, with our team beside you through fieldwork for financial, grant and compliance audits.
03FAR compliance support
Accounting systems and practices lined up with the Federal Acquisition Regulation: cost allowability, timekeeping, documentation and audit-ready records that strengthen your bids as a contractor.
04Business efficiency reviews
A Certified Fraud Examiner looks at your financial workflows: internal controls, approval chains, spending patterns and bottlenecks. You get a prioritized plan that reduces waste and protects margins.
05Business advising
Budgeting and forecasting, cash-flow planning, pricing and margin analysis, and growth-readiness reviews from people who have worked both commercial and government engagements.
06Tax services
Business tax preparation and planning, done by the team that keeps your books. The tax practice is launching as tax.nextplus.org; ask to be notified when it opens.

Who does the work
The practice is small on purpose. It is led by a chief financial officer who holds a Certified Fraud Examiner credential and earned both a bachelor's and a master's degree in accounting from the University of the Pacific. The team includes alumni of KPMG LLP and Oxfam GB, and every member of the finance staff works to U.S. GAAP.
That mix matters for the clients we serve. A nonprofit's grant audit, a contractor's FAR questions and a dental practice's cash flow are different problems, and the team has sat on the auditor's side of the table for all three.
Common questions, straight answers
How does an engagement work?
Most clients start with a short conversation about the current books, systems and goals. We then propose a defined scope: ongoing monthly bookkeeping and advising on a fixed retainer, or a fixed-scope project such as audit preparation or an efficiency review. You know the scope, the deliverables and the cost before work begins.
Who do you work with?
Small businesses, nonprofits, professional practices and government contractors: any organization where clean, GAAP-aligned books and credible financial reporting matter.
Do you work with both federal contractors and commercial clients?
Yes. Commercial clients use us for bookkeeping, reporting and advising. Federal contractors also use the FAR compliance support. We are a registered federal contractor ourselves, so the requirements are familiar from the inside.
What accounting software do you use?
Primarily QuickBooks, and we can work inside your existing setup, including payroll, expense tools and reporting dashboards. If the setup is holding you back we will say so and help put a cleaner one in place.
Is Next Plus a CPA firm?
No. Next Plus LLC is not a licensed public accounting firm. CPA and Certified Fraud Examiner are credentials held by individual members of the team, and an in-house CPA supervises the bookkeeping. We do not perform audits or other attestation services. Audit preparation and support means getting you ready for your auditor and working alongside them during fieldwork, not auditing your books.
Can you take over books that are behind?
Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is common. We agree a scope for the backlog, bring the books current, and move to the monthly rhythm from there.
