Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between hiring a bookkeeper and hiring an
accountant?
Think of the bookkeeper and accountant like specialists within the field of medicine.
A bookkeeper is a lot like a Nurse Practitioner, someone who is right there by your side each day, taking care of the daily transactions, bills, payments, invoices to customers, etc. They make sure you are well taken care of and identify and remedy any issues immediately.
An Accountant or CPA is a lot like a Doctor who you only see for a shorter period of time, for bigger financial events like annual tax filings conducting audits or more advanced financial analysis. -
How much does it cost?
The cost depends upon the amount of activity, the number of services, and the level of service you need. I offer monthly specialized packages depending on your needs. Because costs can vary widely, your monthly fees will be discussed during the initial discovery call.
-
How often do you do the bookkeeping?
It depends on your needs. Businesses with a few transactions may only need monthly services, while more established businesses may need weekly services. Your frequency will be determined during the discovery call.
-
How can I know which bookkeeper is right for me?
Does the bookkeeper return your calls? Do you feel comfortable asking them questions? Do you feel heard? With the right bookkeeper the answers should be a resounding “YES”.
