What is Bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping is a portion of accounting services that records all financial transactions including sales, purchases, receipts etc.

When Would You Need a Bookkeeper?

If it is becoming increasingly difficult to stay on top of your finances because you have too much on your plate, it might be time to look into bookkeeping services. Falling behind on your books can be dangerous as your books will stop reflecting what state your business is in. This makes it even harder to catch back up again and understand cash flow in order to determine the productiveness of your business.
