Work Process
Our Process: Legitimize Your Business, Step by Step
At Be Legit Books, we make it simple for real estate media professionals to take control of their finances with a streamlined, fully guided onboarding experience. Here’s how we turn disorganized books into clean, strategic financial systems:
Step 1: Discovery Call – Let’s Get to Know Each Other
We start with a personalized discovery call where you’ll meet with a Be Legit Books representative. This is our chance to learn about your business structure, current systems, and goals — and your opportunity to understand how we work and whether we’re the right fit. Our goal is to make sure we can genuinely support your business growth from the financial side.
Step 2: System Access & Setup
Once we decide to move forward, we’ll request access to your accounting and financial platforms (like QuickBooks). If you need help with setup or permissions, we’re happy to guide you through the process via a Zoom call. You’ll also create a secure account in our client portal, where you’ll receive updates, submit documents, and communicate with our team.
Step 3: Bookkeeper Assignment & Slack Integration
We’ll assign a dedicated bookkeeper who understands your industry and workflow. To keep communication seamless and real-time, we invite you to join a private Slack channel where you’ll have direct access to your bookkeeper and our team — no waiting days for email replies.
Step 4: Strategic Financial Overview
After two weeks, once we’ve reviewed and organized your data, you’ll receive a comprehensive financial report and meet with one of our financial strategists. This session helps you interpret your numbers, understand trends, and make smarter business decisions going forward.
Step 5: Your Business, Legit and Built to Scale
With your books in order and a strategic plan in place, if you need ongoing bookkeeping, tax prep, or financial advice, we’re here to support your growth with professional systems built for the real estate media space.
