Bookkeeping Process

When I meet with a new client, I always try to explain my bookkeeping process.  For most of my clients, I complete the bookkeeping after the previous month has closed and the bank and credit card statements are available.  My basic process is to first enter all transactions into QuickBooks with vendor/client name, amount, date, and expense/income account.  I review accounts receivable and accounts payable for matching issues and outstanding payments.  I post payroll journal entries to match the outside vendor payroll reports, or I review the payroll entries if my client is using QuickBooks Payroll.  My final step is to reconcile all bank and credit card statements to ensure all transactions were captured in QuickBooks for the month.  I provide monthly reports to my clients including the Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Statement, and Transactions by Account.  These are the basic reports, but as a solid bookkeeper, I can provide any report a client may need.  It takes a lot of attention to detail and continuous analysis to ensure bookkeeping is done correctly.  I take pride in making sure my clients’ books are clean and ready for their tax preparer.  If you are ready to have tax ready financial statements, let’s connect!
