Exactly What Does a Bookkeeper Do?

Businesses of all types and sizes do their own bookkeeping, while many others—particularly small businesses–hire outside help. What is the bookkeeper’s job? Bookkeepers manage client accounts, produce financial reports, and monitor revenue, spending and invoices. They analyze financial documents to make sure accounts are current and accurate, using specialized software, spreadsheets and other tools. Many in-house bookkeepers at large companies handle payroll and taxes, which independent bookkeeping firms like ours typically do not. We partner with trusted colleagues best suited to provide you with affordable, technically advantageous services to help you effectively run your business. Our experts free clients from tedious bookkeeping tasks so they can focus limited time, talent, and resources on their core competencies. If tasks like tracking cash flow and reconciling accounts are taking up time better spent with existing or potential customers, using a professional bookkeeping service is usually a smart, cost-effective route.
