Frequently Asked
Questions

Do I need to meet in person to work with Cox Bookkeeping?
No. While we are based in Oneida, Tennessee, and serve local businesses in Elizabethton, our operations are fully virtual. You can securely upload documents, connect bank feeds digitally, and communicate with our team via phone, email, or video call from anywhere.
What bookkeeping software do you support?
We specialize in QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop. QuickBooks is the industry standard for small business accounting, offering robust reporting, cloud security, and seamless integration with bank institutions and payroll providers.
What if my bookkeeping is several months (or years) behind?
Don't panic—this is one of our key specialties. We provide comprehensive catch-up and cleanup services. We will gather your past bank and credit card statements, reconstruct your historical financial records, categorize every transaction correctly, and bring your business completely current and tax-compliant.
How do I send you my receipts and financial documents?
We utilize secure, encrypted digital portals. You can snap photos of paper receipts on your smartphone, upload PDF statements directly to your portal, or grant us secure read-only access to your bank accounts to retrieve statements automatically.
Can you handle my state and local tax filings in Tennessee?
Yes. We prepare and file Tennessee Sales Tax returns, local business tax filings, and Tennessee Franchise & Excise Tax returns, ensuring your limited liability entity maintains perfect compliance with state regulations.
How is professional bookkeeping different from hiring a full-time accountant?
A full-time in-house accountant can cost your business $50,000 to $70,000+ annually plus benefits and office space. Cox Bookkeeping provides the exact same professional oversight, software management, and audit-ready financial statements for a fraction of that cost on a flexible monthly subscription basis.
