Bookkeeping

What exactly does a bookkeeper do?

The services a bookkeeper offers are there to help your company keep track of its overall finances. Some basic things that a bookkeeper does includes recording your business’s finances, keeping track of bank statements, and reporting on a company’s finances each month. A full-charge bookkeeper can also manage a company’s payroll, handle its deposits, manage the company’s sales taxes, and reconcile bank statements to internal accounts and even help out during an internal or IRS audit. Whether you want to get a business loan, answer an auditor, or simply design next year’s budget and business plan, you need the assistance of a full-charge bookkeeper.

Why it's important for you to have a dedicated bookkeeper 

You may be too busy running your business to deal with the financial side of things. Or, you may not have a clear understanding of what your data means. That’s where a bookkeeper can come in handy. A bookkeeper can help you with your budget, so you don’t overspend your money. They can help you prepare your taxes and keep them and your books in order. They can also help you track financial growth, so you can expand your business. Not only do they ensure that books are maintained properly to avoid costly mistakes, fees, and penalties, but they can also help alert you to waste and mismanagement of supplies and inventory. 

Hiring a bookkeeping service is about more than just finding someone who can use a calculator and understand QuickBooks. You want a full-fledged team that has the professional background, training, and experience to really benefit your business.
