Important Things Every Bookkeeper Wants You to Know

The words bookkeeper and bookkeeping tend to send shivers down people’s spines, even business owners who have no idea what bookkeepers do. The good news is that bookkeepers are there to help you with your books — they don’t want to replace you; they want to help you grow your business! That said, there are a lot of misconceptions about bookkeepers that we want to make sure you know before you try to work with one of us or hire someone new.

2) Understand that we charge by the hour

Provide as much information as possible about each transaction

• Bookkeepers track and record all financial transactions made by a business. This includes sales, purchases, receipts, and payments.
• They keep records of all the money coming in and out of business. This helps them to identify trends and areas where the business is doing well or could improve.
• Bookkeepers reconcile bank statements and credit card statements with the businesses’ records. This ensures that all transactions are accounted for, and there are no discrepancies between the two sets of records.
• They prepare financial reports such as income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements. These reports give business owners and managers an overview of the business’s financial health and performance.
