The Control · From 20 Years of Internal Audit

The Owner-Approves Gate

Most small-business fraud doesn’t start with a mastermind. It starts with one person who can both record a payment and release it. Twenty years in internal controls taught me to design that temptation out.

So at Rinebooks, the duties are split — permanently. I enter and code every bill. Only you approve and pay it. All bills are paid by the business owner. It’s a key control, and it’s how your accounts payable runs here, every time.

Try it: run a bill down the track and watch where it stops.

It stops here. The bill is entered and coded — but the gate only opens for the owner. That’s the rule, and it never bends.

Why the gate exists: one of the major ways fraud is perpetrated in businesses is by giving an employee the ability to authorize payments. Split the duties, and that door closes.

How a Month Runs

Four beats, every month. No year-end scramble.

“If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up some place else.” — Yogi Berra. A monthly rhythm is how you always know where you are.

  1. Beat 1

    Classify & Record

    Every transaction recorded and classified correctly — revenue, expenses, all of it, while the month is still young.

  2. Beat 2

    Reconcile to the Bank

    Your accounts reconciled against your bank statements, so QuickBooks tells the truth about your money.

  3. Beat 3

    The Big 3 Reports

    Balance Sheet · Profit & Loss · Statement of Cash Flows — prepared monthly, not reconstructed at tax time.

  4. Beat 4

    Review, Together

    A monthly conversation about your financial reports — what changed, what it means, what to do next.

The Boundary

Not a CPA. On purpose.

I don’t prepare taxes, and I don’t pretend to. What I do is make your CPA or EA’s job easy — and your tax season boring, in the best way.

Your translator, all year

Think of me as the translator of your financials to your CPA or EA — with your authorization, I work directly with them, so nothing gets lost between your books and your return.

Year-end, handled early

Because your books close monthly, the year-end close can have you ready as early as January to get your taxes done — no shoebox, no scramble, no surprises.

Schedule C, optimized

Your books are kept optimized to complete your Schedule C — income and expenses classified the way your tax preparer needs them, all year long.

Already have a CPA or EA you trust? Perfect — I’ll keep their desk clean. Your books stay yours, current and ready, whoever prepares your taxes.

Meet Your Bookkeeper

Twenty years an auditor. Now, on your side of the books.

Before Rinebooks, I spent 20 years in corporate Internal Controls (Audit) and FP&A at a Fortune 500 company — the side of the table that checks whether the numbers can be trusted. I passed three of the four parts of the Certified Internal Auditor exam on my first sitting, and I brought that auditor’s eye with me into bookkeeping.

It changes how your books get kept. I know where small businesses leak — the unapproved payment, the unreconciled account, the weakness a bad actor finds before you do. My favorite work is helping owners find those weaknesses and fix them first. That’s why the controls on this page aren’t fine print; they’re the product.

And the name? “Rine” is the last four letters of Catherine. Short, a little unexpected, and entirely mine — like the practice.

  • Integrity
  • Quality
  • Efficiency & Effectiveness

— Catherine “Rine” Miller

In the Community

A Lake Cities practice, plugged into Lake Cities.

Rinebooks is a member of the Lake Cities Chamber of Commerce — the Corinth, Lake Dallas, Hickory Creek, and Shady Shores community it serves. When the Chamber connected Catherine with a local business owner who needed help, this is what they had to say about how it went:

“We connected Catherine Miller - Rinebooks LLC with a business who needed help cleaning up their books and getting their financial records in order for a loan application. Catherine was able to help the business owner and they are still using her services today. It’s great to have a Chamber Member who can provide these valuable services for our community!”

Straight Answers

Questions, answered the way I’d answer them across the desk.

Are you a CPA?

No — and that’s deliberate. I’m a bookkeeper: twenty years in corporate internal controls (audit) and financial planning & analysis before I started Rinebooks. I keep your books clean, current, and ready; your own CPA or EA prepares and files your taxes from them. Bookkeeping only — done by someone trained to audit it.

Do you pay my bills?

No — never. I enter and code every bill in your accounts payable, and you approve and pay it. That separation is called segregation of duties, and it’s one of the key controls that protects a business: the person who records a payment should never be the person who can release it.

What do I get every month?

Your transactions recorded and classified, your bank accounts reconciled so QuickBooks matches reality, and the Big 3 reports — Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss, and Cash Flow — followed by a monthly review conversation where we talk through what the numbers are telling you.

Do you prepare taxes or run payroll?

Neither — bookkeeping is the whole practice. Your CPA or EA handles tax preparation and filing, and your payroll stays with your payroll provider. My job is to make their jobs easy: books kept optimized for your Schedule C and a year-end close that can have you ready as early as January.

What does getting started look like?

A free consultation. We review your current bookkeeping process, determine what your business actually needs, and decide together whether we’re the right fit. No pressure and no obligation — just a clear picture of where your books stand.
