What’s the difference between a Bookkeeper and an Accountant?
There are several advantages to hiring a bookkeeper instead of an accountant to manage your business’s financial records. Here are a few to consider:
Organizational Services
A bookkeeper’s role is to record transactions and keep you financially organized. An accountant can also perform these tasks although typically for a much higher fee.
Assessments
While accountants provide financial analyses and income tax returns, a bookkeeper can ensure all tax information is in order and give you a straightforward look at your business’s financial standing.
Lower Cost
Bookkeepers typically charge lower fees for their services than accountants. The specific amount varies based on the amount of filing and documentation you need.
Save Time, Energy, & Resources
Don’t waste time, energy, and resources trying to do bookkeeping and account management by yourself. Outsourcing your bookkeeping allows you the time to focus on your business, customers, employees, and on growing your company, while ensuring your data is being managed properly.
