How will you access our financial information?
Access to your sensitive financial information is entirely up to you. You can choose to send us statements or create separate “accountant/view only” login credentials for us. Because your privacy is of utmost importance to us, we keep your statements and/or login credentials secure, encripted, password protected, and only accessible to those working directly with your account.
If we already have an accountant, do we still need a bookkeeper?
We work with many small businesses that have in-house or third-party accountants who typically focus on one aspect of accounting (AR, AP, Financial Review, etc.). As their bookkeepers, we perform all monthly reconciliations and compile all the information needed to create and present the financial statements.
What kind of documents and financial reports will you provide?
Every month we will present your business with an income statement and balance sheet to review and make informed decisions on the business's financial position. Income statements provide you with an overview of your company’s monthly revenue, expenses, and profit. While a balance sheet presents other important financial information, such as cash available, assets, and liabilities, and equity.
How will you keep our business information secure?
As a business of our own, we understand the importance of maintaining sensitive financial information secure and private. We store all files on a password protected cloud that uses encryption technology, so you can rest assured that your sensitive information is always secure.
