Bookkeeping for insurance agencies
Stakeville provides specialized bookkeeping for insurance agencies, including commission income reconciliation against carrier statements, payroll analysis against provider registers, full-year bank and card reconciliation, and S-corp-ready workpapers.
Insurance agency books have a rhythm most bookkeepers misread: commission income arriving on carrier schedules, chargebacks that hit months later, and payroll that has to tie to provider registers to the penny. When those flows are miscategorized, the P&L overstates one month and understates the next, and the owner stops trusting the numbers.
We've rebuilt full years of agency books: reconciling every bank and AMEX statement, extracting complete check registers, auditing P&Ls for miscategorized history, and preparing amendment-ready workpapers for the CPA. Agency accounting isn't exotic, it just has to be done in the right order, every month.
Where insurance agencies books usually break
Commission timing chaos
Carrier payments and chargebacks land on their schedule, not yours, making monthly income look random without proper tracking.
Payroll that doesn't tie
Producer comp, draws, and payroll registers that never quite match the general ledger.
Year-end scramble
A CPA question list at filing time because reconciliations were never actually done.
How Stakeville handles it
Carrier statement reconciliation
Commission income tied to carrier statements, with chargebacks tracked instead of buried.
Register-to-GL payroll tie-out
Provider registers (Paychex and others) reconciled to the ledger every period.
Full-year rebuilds
Behind books reconstructed from bank and card statements, month by month.
S-corp workpapers
Officer comp, distributions, and Schedule L support ready for your preparer.
“Our books were 14 months behind when we found Stakeville. Three weeks later everything reconciled and our CPA filed without a single question.”
“The monthly report is one page and I actually read it. What moved, why, and what to watch. That alone is worth the fee.”
