Working with a bookkeeper can provide peace of mind and help you stay on top of your finances. By asking the right questions and finding the right bookkeeper, you can set yourself up for financial success.
What is the role of a bookkeeper?
At Bookkeeping Bistro, we provide data entry, account reconciliation, and your most critical financial reports, including balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and cash flow statements that help you better understand your business’s financial health. Technically, your bookkeeper will enter the information and send you the reports. We like to take things a step further so you’re in a better position to make better and quicker decisions for your business.
Why do I need a bookkeeper?
We help you keep your financial records in order and give you sound financial advice for your business. The more organized you can be from the beginning of your business or the moment you hire a professional, the easier and less complicated your understanding of financial decision-making will be.
Whether it’s tax season or not, we can help you avoid mistakes that could lead to expensive consequences. Let us take care of your books so you can focus on growing your business.
Personality-wise, accountants love us because we do it the right way.
How often should I meet with my bookkeeper?
The frequency of your meetings depends on the size of your business. Some businesses meet monthly or quarterly, while others meet only a few times yearly. It’s essential to keep your finances up-to-date. Don’t feel restricted by that schedule if something urgent comes up.
How much should I expect to pay for bookkeeping services?
The cost of services will vary depending on the size of your business. As a client, we provide a clear and transparent pricing structure. Additionally, refer to the pricing page for more information.
What software or tools do I need to work with a bookkeeper?
Bookkeeping Bistro specializes in QuickBooks software and will give referrals for other software you use so you can work with an experienced bookkeeper in your software.
Can you help me with payroll?
We can share insights and recommendations when it comes to payroll providers. While we do not provide this service in-house, I suggest utilizing Quickbooks or Gusto. With their top-notch reputation in the industry, you can rest assured that you’re getting quality and reliable service.
What kind of financial reports can a bookkeeper provide?
We provide various financial reports, including balance sheets, profit and loss statements, account receivable, and accounts payable. These reports can help you better understand the financial health of your business and make informed decisions for its future.
What should I expect during a consultation?
When you have your first consultation, it’s essential to be ready to discuss your business’s financial requirements, objectives, and any financial hurdles or apprehensions you might have.
We may also need to review your present financial documents to understand your current financial state better. This consultation lets you determine whether we are a good match for your business and its needs.
Will my information be kept confidential?
Yes, at Bookkeeping Bistro, we are required to maintain client confidentiality and take it very seriously. Additionally, there is an NDA clause in our contract.
Is tax preparation a service that you offer?
Unfortunately, we do not offer tax preparation as part of our services, but we can work with an accountant to ensure your finances are accurate and up-to-date. Ultimately, our goal is to provide peace of mind by taking care of your finances and helping your business thrive.
