How it works

Bookkeeping is the process of recording every transaction a business makes into a general ledger, coding each one to the right account, and then proving the ledger against outside evidence. The proving step is reconciliation: the balance on the bank or credit-card statement is matched to the balance in the books, and any difference is explained. Books that are categorised inconsistently or never reconciled will still produce a Profit & Loss, but the numbers on it cannot be relied on for decisions, lending or a tax return.

Who this is for

  • Businesses that want their books maintained without hiring in-house
  • Accounting firms that need overflow bookkeeping capacity
  • Owners whose QuickBooks Online file has drifted out of reconciliation

US Bookkeeping — questions

What accounting software do you use for bookkeeping?

+
QuickBooks Online. Categorization, reconciliation and reporting workflows are all built around QBO, and pricing assumes timely access to the QBO file and supporting documents.

How often are the books updated?

+
That depends on the plan. The Monthly plan updates and reviews the books once a month. Bi-Weekly updates twice a month so issues surface earlier. Weekly posts and reconciles every week, which suits higher transaction volume or tighter reporting cycles.

How much does outsourced bookkeeping cost?

+
Recurring bookkeeping is $499 per month (Monthly), $799 per month (Bi-Weekly) or $999 per month (Weekly). Focused or variable work is billed at $8 per hour. Pricing assumes normal bookkeeping volume and timely access to QBO and supporting documents.

What is bank reconciliation and why does it matter?

+
Reconciliation matches the transactions recorded in the books against the bank or credit-card statement for the same period, so that every difference is identified and explained. Without it there is no proof the ledger is complete, and errors such as duplicated or missing transactions can go unnoticed for months.
