Forty years of running a small business.
One goal: keep it simple.

Alex Bennett spent more than 40 years as a small-business owner-operator. He built it, ran it, filed the paperwork, chased the invoices, reconciled the accounts — and always did his own books.

Now retired from his own business, Alex isn't quite ready to hang up the calculator. Common Cents Bookkeeping is his way of putting decades of hard-earned experience to work for other small operators — without the overhead, the upsells, or the corporate polish.

His goal is simple: keep things straightforward for you, free up your time and his, so you can both spend more of it on the career you love and with the people who love you.

Life's too short to lose weekends to a shoebox of receipts.

That's why Alex takes on only a small number of clients at a time, works entirely by email and secure document upload, and skips the long video meetings. Less chit-chat, more clean books, lower cost to you.
