Frequently Asked Questions
“Making good judgments when one has complete data, facts, and knowledge is not leadership – it’s bookkeeping.”
– Dee Hock, Founder & CEO of VISA
I already have an accountant, do I need a bookkeeper?
If you already have an accountant that is great, but for general bookkeeping services they will charge more than the cost of a bookkeeper.
Many businesses hire bookkeepers. You can simply tell your accountant that you have hired a bookkeeper but would like to retain them solely for analyses, tax returns, and budgeting purposes.
My accounts are a mess. Can you help?
Don’t worry, as long as you have bank statements and paperwork, I can straighten up your business accounts.
I understand running your own business can be very time-consuming and completing the accounts can be the last thing that you want to do.
Is my business too small for a bookkeeper/administrator?
It doesn’t matter what size your business is a bookkeeper/administrator can be an asset to your business.
You can release some more of your time to concentrate on your business and get your administrative work completed for you. By getting your administration completed on a regular basis you can ensure that you are focusing on growing your business.
Are bank & credit card reconciliations really that important?
Bank and credit card reconciliations are crucial to accurate and timely bookkeeping records.
Without doing these reconciliations on a timely basis, you’ll be making decisions based on inaccurate information, which can lead to cash flow problems. It is one of the fundamentals of bookkeeping— like balancing your checkbook but on a larger scale.
