What is Bookkeeping, How is it Different from Accounting

Every business must keep records of every financial transaction in a set of books per-say, typically done on a computer-based program like QuickBooks. The act of keeping those records is called bookkeeping. Whether it's the business owner, a bookkeeper, or an accountant, bookkeeping is vital for the success of the business.

Bookkeepers can categorize expenses, reconcile bank accounts, handle accounts receivable and payable, run payroll, and do many more tasks that help business owners stay on top of the financial health of their business.

Accountants can do all the tasks that bookkeepers can do but they are tax experts. Accountants monitor tax payment amounts and prepare annual tax returns. Typically, accountants will employ bookkeepers to perform the bookkeeping so they can focus on the tax responsibilities. 

So where does that leave virtual bookkeeping? A virtual bookkeeper is like the middleman between the business owner and the accountant. We make sure your business has accurate and organized financial records for the accountant to efficiently do your taxes, saving you time and money.

Why Use a Virtual Bookkeeper?

As a business owner, you have to wear a lot of different hats, and some of them fit better than others. In many cases, business owners take on all of the responsibilities simply because they don’t believe they can bring in experts to help them with any of these important tasks. Unfortunately, all this multi-tasking can cause problems for your business, especially when it comes to your finances.

If you are doing the books on your own, you could be finding yourself struggling with your bookkeeping responsibilities--You don’t have the time, or the knowledge, or you simply don’t enjoy it.

As mentioned above, an accountant could do the bookkeeping; however, bookkeeping is one of the most time-consuming tasks an accountant would do, and it is not the bread and butter of their firm. Sometimes a business owner needs more done with their bookkeeping than what an accountant would have time to do. Therefore, it’s an excellent choice to have a bookkeeper and an accountant working as a team. The accountant will be much happier at tax time when your books are ready and prepared.
