While often used interchangeably, bookkeeping and accounting are distinct functions within a business’s financial management. Bookkeeping is recording financial transactions, while accounting is interpreting and analyzing that data.

We offer a broad range of core bookkeeping services to help small businesses, such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, financial reporting, and bank reconciliation.

We highly recommend regular bookkeeping. However, the frequency depends on your business size and industry, but monthly or quarterly is often recommended.

We prioritize the security of your financial information and take strict measures to ensure your data privacy and protection using the latest bookkeeping software.
