Bookkeeping is the day-to-day tracking of your business’s financial transactions. Bookkeepers record income and expenses, create invoices and bills, and ensure your financial records are accurate and up-to-date. They can also generate reports to help you understand your business’s financial health.
Bookkeepers handle a variety of tasks, including:
- Entering financial data
- Reconciling bank statements
- Creating invoices and processing bills
- Generating monthly reports
- Tracking accounts receivable and payable
- Preparing tax documents
- Assisting with budgeting and forecasting
- Recommending bookkeeping software
No, bookkeeping and accounting are different but complementary. Bookkeepers focus on recording transactions, while accountants analyse and interpret that data. Accountants use bookkeeping information to create financial statements, manage taxes, and provide financial advice.
The need for both depends on your business size and complexity. Small businesses can often get by with just a bookkeeper, while larger businesses typically need both. A bookkeeper keeps your records up-to-date, and an accountant uses that information to give you insights into your business’s performance and help you make informed financial decisions.
Yes! Many bookkeepers now offer remote services. This allows you to find a qualified bookkeeper anywhere in the world, not just in your local area.
A bookkeeper can save you time and money by:
- Ensuring accurate financial records
- Helping you stay compliant with tax regulations
- Providing insights into your business’s financial health
- Freeing you up to focus on growing your business
Bookkeeper fees vary depending on experience, location, and the services offered. Many bookkeepers, such as Jenkins & Co, offer flexible packages to fit your budget.
Look for a bookkeeper with experience in your industry and who uses accounting software you’re comfortable with. Consider their qualifications, attention to detail, and ability to manage cash flow and taxes.
Bookkeepers can help you avoid the stress and hassle of managing your finances yourself. They can also provide valuable insights to help you make better business decisions. By outsourcing your bookkeeping, you can free up your time to focus on running and growing your business.
A cloud bookkeeper is someone who uses cloud-based accounting software to manage your business’s finances. This means they can access your financial records from anywhere with an internet connection, rather than being tied to a specific desktop computer.
