questions
Why should I hire a bookkeeper?
Hiring a skilled bookkeeper will save you time, stress, and money. As a bookkeeper, I leverage my expertise to create efficiency, catch concerns early, and set you up for success so you can focus on growing your business. You’re the most valuable asset to your company, and if you’re spending too much time (or maybe not enough time) on your books, it’s time to hire a professional to take care of the work so you can be free to do what you do best!
What do I need to get started?
Let’s talk first so I can learn about your situation and share how I can help. While the process of bookkeeping is relatively consistent, each business is unique. I offer a free consultation to help us decide on the next steps together. Just complete the contact form or book 20 minutes with me on my calendar by clicking “Free Consultation” above!
How do I know if I need a bookkeeper or an accountant?
A bookkeeper manages the day-to-day entries, reconciliations, and reporting for business leaders to make informed decisions and to comply with IRS rules and GAAP standards. An accountant specializes in financial analysis, strategic guidance, and tax preparation. Both professionals serve important roles, working together as needed to support the financial health of your business.
What types of businesses do you serve?
I take on small to medium-sized businesses, including nonprofits, that need a trusted partner to stay on top of the books. Let me help you do what you do best by doing what I do best – recording, organizing, and presenting your financial story. I’m here to help you succeed.
How much does bookkeeping cost?
Bookkeeping fees vary based on the services needed. I typically begin working at an hourly rate (with a cap) and then settle on an average monthly rate. Beyond basic bookkeeping, I support payroll processing, tax payments, accounts payable, accounts receivable, asset tracking, special reporting, grant monitoring, budgeting, bill pay, and other activities. Hiring an independent bookkeeper can be more cost-effective than hiring staff and provides greater organizational flexibility. Also, most bookkeeping costs are considered business expenses and may be tax-deductible.
