Frequently asked questions

Bookkeeping is an important foundation for any business, so we understand if you have questions. We address common concerns in our FAQ – but always feel free to reach out with specific questions.

Bookkeeping is the process of recording daily transactions in a consistent way, and is a key component to building a financially successful business. Bookkeepers take care of the day-to-day financials, like posting credits and debits, maintaining the general ledger, and completing payroll.

Accounting is a high-level process that uses financial information compiled by a bookkeeper or business owner, and produces financial models using that information.

Bookkeeping gives you a crystal clear picture of where your money is coming (and going.) When your books are up-to-date, you get an accurate measure of your business’s health, and can make smarter financial decisions.

Having accurate books pays off at tax time, too. When your bookkeeping is up-to-date, you avoid scrambling to get caught up before the tax deadline, or missing out on any deductions.

Your bookkeeper reconciles your accounts, categorises your transactions, and produces your financial statements. They also make adjustments to your books to ensure they’re tax-compliant.

Occasionally your bookkeeper might need your input on things like categorising a transaction properly, but we try our best to make bookkeeping as hands-off as possible for you.

You can also book a call with your bookkeeper (or send them a WhatsApp message) whenever you’d like. There’s no extra fee or hourly charges for support—we’re always happy to nerd out about bookkeeping and your financial statements.
