Your Questions, Answered
What type of businesses do you work with?
We work with all types of businesses, from small startups to established companies, our team provides tailored bookkeeping solutions designed to fit each client’s unique operations and goals.
What’s the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?
Bookkeeping involves recording and organizing a business’s day-to-day financial transactions—such as sales, expenses, payroll, and bank reconciliations. Accounting, on the other hand, focuses on interpreting and analyzing that financial data to provide insights, financial statements, and tax planning. In short, bookkeeping ensures accurate records, while accounting uses those records to guide financial decisions and long-term strategy.
Can you help if my books are behind or messy?
Absolutely. We regularly assist businesses that have fallen behind or are dealing with inaccurate records. We can bring your books up to date, resolve discrepancies, and establish clear processes to ensure your financials remain accurate and organized moving forward.
What software do you use?
We use QuickBooks Online, the leading cloud-based accounting software for small and medium-sized businesses. QuickBooks Online allows for secure, real-time access to your financial data from any device, making collaboration easy and efficient. It also offers robust features for tracking income and expenses, managing invoices, reconciling accounts, and generating detailed financial reports. Its reliability, flexibility, and integration capabilities make it the most effective platform for maintaining accurate, up-to-date books.
How much do your bookkeeping services cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your business and the level of service required. Every business has unique needs, which is why we offer a free consultation to better understand your operations and determine a customized service plan. After our consultation, we’ll provide transparent pricing tailored specifically to your business.
