Hello, Does anyone in the Colorado Springs area have a Good Bookkeeper they can recommend?

I use the same expense account for all properties, and track expenses through bookkeeping (I use a simple Excel spreadsheet). 

Wait, it gets better, and that the unit has forced insurance on it.The President had told me they had a book keeper that he fired right around the time I bought my place.  

Any super highly recommended bookkeepers in Seattle that have experience with rentals?

We are thinking about starting an LLC and buying the property through that entity.I would take on the property management side of the business and he would take on more the year end closings/book keeping/taxes/financial breakdown side.We are trying to figure out a fair way of distributing out money and compensation for different up keeping procedures.So far we have thought of two main fees - Property Management (I am hands on with my current property, so he would pay me to continue doing so with our joint houses), and Tax Prep (He is a CPA, so I would pay him that).I am curious to know what other partnerships look like in a similar situation and if anyone can provide further insight.I.E. what's a reasonable fee to charge for property management?

Consistency and discipline in bookkeeping helps , in case you get audited for any reason by IRS.
