Phone: (727) 205-5022
Tide and Ledger LLC is a bookkeeping and financial management firm based in Tampa, Florida, serving growing businesses across the Tampa Bay region and, on a remote basis, nationwide. According to the firm, it is run by Andrew and Cassie Murphy, a husband-and-wife team, and handles bookkeeping, financial reporting, and back-office operations.

Services
The firm organizes its offering around three primary areas. Weekly bookkeeping covers transaction categorization and coding, bank and credit card reconciliation, accounts payable and vendor bill management, accounts receivable tracking and follow-up, and payroll processing and payroll tax filings. The firm states that monthly financial statements are delivered by the fifteenth of each month, with a year-end package prepared for the client’s CPA at tax time.
Managerial accounting is offered as a reporting layer on top of clean books. This includes profitability analysis by service line, project, or department, cash flow forecasting and runway projections, budget versus actual reporting with variance analysis, break-even analysis for hiring, equipment, or expansion decisions, and custom KPI dashboards.
Back-office support covers chart of accounts restructuring, vendor management and bill pay coordination, process documentation and cleanup, accounts receivable collections follow-up, and financial system integrations and automation. The firm also provides QuickBooks services, including new QuickBooks Online setup, migration from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online, cleanup and restructuring of existing files, integrations with payroll and payment processing, and team training.
