Affordable Bookkeeping for Authors, Publishers & Agents
The internet has dramatically changed how publishing companies operate. In the modern era, publishers aren’t simply publishing printed materials, they’re publishing written content online and utilizing social media and other apps to publish work. It’s never been easier to make money as a publishing company, and Giersch Group offers professional, affordable accounting services to publishers nationwide.
Independent publishers, small press operations and indie publishers often have difficulty monitoring the financial state of their business and lack the budget to hire a full-time bookkeeper to track royalties and handle taxes.
Giersch Group specializes in providing affordable, scalable accounting and bookkeeping services for publishing companies of all sizes and helps them navigate multiple sources of revenue. Whether you’re an established publishing company with several agents or a one-person operation, Giersch Group provides timely, accurate financial information to identify the financial state of your company and create the best plan to maximize your profits and growth.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can a bookkeeper help manage royalties?
Yes! As a business grows, keeping track of royalties becomes increasingly harder. Calculating them can be complex and time-consuming. Our services will assist and teach you how to be more efficient and save time.
Is a software program really better than spreadsheets for publishing?
Absolutely. While spreadsheets certainly work, a software program like QuickBooks™ will save time, create reports faster, automate tasks, provide double entry, generate complex historical analytic reports and catch errors that spreadsheets miss. Our advisors help make the switch and train your staff.
How can small publishers make more money?
The bottom line to generate income is to sell books for more than it costs to make them, then keep the difference. This isn't easy and setting the right prices for profitability is difficult. Our services look at the hard numbers and help create a profitable business plan.
