Your bookkeeper sets up your accounts and chart of accounts, or migrates them from your current system. After that, the monthly work is bank and credit card reconciliation, recording income and expenses, tracking fixed assets and depreciation, payroll accounting, and keeping receivables and payables current.
The output is financial statements, a cash flow view with forecasting, and reports built around the numbers you actually look at. See the full bookkeeping and accounting service.
