Frequently Asked Questions
A bookkeeper is responsible for recording and organizing a business’s financial transactions, such as income, expenses, payroll, and invoices. They ensure that financial records are accurate and up to date.
While bookkeepers focus on day-to-day financial tracking, accountants take it a step further by analyzing financial data, preparing tax returns, and providing strategic financial advice. Bookkeepers handle the foundational financial work, while accountants help with big-picture financial planning and compliance.
Yes! While accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero automates certain tasks, a bookkeeper ensures accuracy, reconciles discrepancies, categorizes transactions correctly, and keeps your books tax-ready. Many business owners prefer to have a human expert oversee their finances rather than relying solely on software.
For small businesses, bookkeeping should be updated weekly or biweekly to keep track of cash flow and expenses. Larger businesses may require daily updates to ensure financial accuracy. Monthly reconciliations help keep financial statements error-free and ready for tax filing or financial reporting.
Yes, but bookkeepers typically handle record-keeping, expense categorization, and financial reporting rather than tax strategy and filing. However, they work closely with accountants and tax professionals to ensure that financial records are tax-ready and compliant with IRS regulations.
Bookkeeping services range from $300 to $2,500 per month, depending on:
- Business size and complexity
- Number of transactions per month
- Services required (basic bookkeeping vs. full financial management)
Freelance bookkeepers may charge $25–$100 per hour, while outsourced bookkeeping firms offer flat monthly rates.
