What does a bookkeeper do for small business?
A bookkeeper records and organizes your financial transactions, reconciles your bank and card accounts, and closes your books each month. The result is accurate, up-to-date records you can use to run the business and file taxes.
Bookkeeper vs accountant for small business, what is the difference?
A bookkeeper keeps your daily records clean and current. An accountant or CPA usually handles tax strategy and filing. Good bookkeeping makes the accountant's job faster and cheaper, and we keep your books tax ready either way.
