The Power of Good Program
Free bookkeeping help for small businesses that have outgrown what they can manage on their own.
Giving Back is Part of How We Work
At Oakton FC, giving back to our communities is a core value — not an afterthought. We’ve spent over ten years helping businesses get their finances in order, and in that time, we’ve seen the same pattern repeatedly: small businesses manage their own books for as long as they can, until they can’t.
Growth, complexity, an unexpected audit, or simply reaching the limit of what a spreadsheet and good intentions can handle — there comes a point where professional bookkeeping help isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. But for many small businesses, the cost of that support isn’t accessible yet.
That’s why we created the Power of Good program.
This initiative provides eligible businesses with up to 10 hours of monthly bookkeeping and advisory services at no cost — giving you the professional support you need to get your finances back under control.
What the Program Includes
Accepted participants receive up to 10 hours of free bookkeeping and advisory support per month from an Oakton FC professional. This is the same dedicated, experienced service we provide to our paying clients — applied to your business at no charge.
Depending on where your business is at, support may include:
- Bookkeeping cleanup and organization — Get disorganized or backlogged records sorted and structured correctly
- Monthly transaction recording and reconciliation — Keep your books current and accurate each month
- Basic financial reporting — Understand where your business stands with clear, readable reports
- Advisory guidance — Ask questions and get practical guidance from an experienced bookkeeping professional
- Accounting software support — Guidance on setting up and using platforms like QuickBooks Online, Wave Accounting, or Sage
Support is tailored to your specific situation. Every business that enters the program works directly with an Oakton FC professional to determine how those hours are best used.
Is Your Business Eligible?
The Power of Good program is designed for small businesses that need professional bookkeeping help but aren’t yet in a position to invest in ongoing services. To be eligible, your business must meet the following criteria:
- Gross annual revenue between $150k to $2 million
- First-time participation — each business may participate in the program once
- Ability to provide required information promptly — a representative from your business must be available to supply all necessary documents and details within one week of committing to the program

Absolutely. Many businesses that start with foundational bookkeeping help find that continuing with professional bookkeeping services is a natural next step as they grow. We’d be happy to discuss ongoing support options at the end of your program engagement.
