Bookkeepers vs. Accountants: What the Difference Means for Your Business

Bookkeepers and accountants are both important financial professionals, but they have different roles.

Bookkeepers are responsible for recording and maintaining a business's financial transactions. This includes tasks such as:

• Recording income and expenses
• Preparing financial statements
• Managing accounts receivable and accounts payable
• Reconciling bank accounts
• Payroll processing

Accountants are responsible for analyzing and interpreting a business's financial data. This includes tasks such as:

• Preparing and filing taxes
• Advising on financial planning and strategy
• Performing audits
• Conducting financial research
• As a bookkeeper, my job is to make sure that your financial records are accurate and up-to-date. I will also help you to understand your financial statements so that you can make informed business decisions.

I do not file taxes. This is the job of an accountant. However, I will work closely with your accountant to make sure that all of the necessary information is ready for them when it's time to file your taxes.

In other words, I am the essential first step in your business's financial health. I will make sure that your finances are in order so that you can focus on running your business.
