Bookkeeping is far more than what most people think it is.
What people think we do:
📥 Receipts entered
💵 Invoices recorded
🏦 Bank transactions reconciled
What they DON'T see:
- Reconciling bank and credit card accounts
- Tracking accounts receivable and accounts payable
- Processing payroll and remittances
- Calculating and submitting GST
- Recording and reconciling payroll liabilities
- Managing WCB and other remittances
- Reviewing financial statements for errors and inconsistencies
-Correcting misclassified or duplicated transactions
- Tracking loans, assets and liabilities
- Recording month-end adjustments
- Preparing financial information for year-end
- Working with accountants and tax professionals
- Keeping up with CRA requirements and deadlines
- Setting up and maintaining accounting software
- Troubleshooting accounting discrepancies
- Protecting confidential financial information
- Helping business owners understand where their money is actually going
- Catching problems before they become expensive problems
Bookkeeping isn't just data entry.
It's understanding the story behind the numbers, knowing when something doesn't look right,
keeping deadlines from being missed, and making sure the financial information a business relies on is accurate.
The work you see is only a fraction of the work being done behind the scenes.
