So what's the deal with bkeeps?
SO WHAT EXACTLY IS A BOOKKEEPER?
With us, your bookkeeper is more than just that, they are like your own personal assistant. Your bookkeeper will learn all of the nuances of your business, keep real-time updated financials, gather all your pertinent financial documents, and organize all your files. While your bookkeeper is working to keep your books updated, you're able to run your business, spend time with family, or maybe even catch up on some of that sleep you've been missing!
my books are a mess. are you able to straighten them out?
Absolutely! We'll assess your books to get an idea what needs to be done. We'll then figure out a plan on how to best straighten out your books!
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO GET ROLLING?
Once we've talked and decided on a plan that works for your business, we will have you up and running with their books up to date within the first month once we have received all the documentation we need.
Do you offer cash and accrual based accounting?
Our minimum pricing is based on cash basis accounting, but we can do accrual basis via custom pricing.
do you provide invoicing, bill payment, inventory management, and/or payroll?
All things are possible! Our standard/minimum pricing does not include such things, but if that is something you need, let us show you how we can help!
I CURRENTLY HAVE MY BOOKKEEPING BEING DONE ELSEWHERE, ARE YOU ABLE TO WORK WITH ME?
Absolutely! If you're using Quickbooks, Xero, Sage50, Peachtree, you name it, that will all help with the on-boarding and set up of your company into your new Quickbooks account. Generally, you should be able to easily download your transactions from those software and upload them into Quickbooks which gets things rolling very quickly. But even if not, there's plenty of info from your current books that we can use to make the on boarding process move quickly.
HOW ARE BOOKKEEPERS DIFFERENT FROM ACCOUNTANTS?
This is a great question! A bookkeeper takes care of a company's day-to-day finances such as labeling and classifying transactions, maintaining the general ledger, working up financial reports, and so on. Accountants take the information from bookkeepers to evaluate and then provide financial predictions and guidance for a business. Both work hand-in-hand in that bookkeepers take care of your daily finances and accountants take that information to get an over-arching picture of your business. Both are crucial to the health of your business.
