Your financial statements will also give you important clues about your business whether your goals are being met. We go above and beyond the typical bookkeeper by providing you with insights and consulting that will help you guide your business in the right direction.

Bookkeeping & Financial Reporting Expert
What is Bookkeeping?
To put it simply, bookkeeping is the process of converting your business’s daily operations and activities into understandable and usable reports (financial reporting.) There are two main purposes for maintaining strong bookkeeping practices, Planning and Reporting to Outside Users.
- Planning: Planning, for any business, is absolutely necessary to be successful. To properly plan, business owners need to set goals, both financial and non-financial. Financial goals are measured through the bookkeeping and financial reporting process. Whether you run a lemonade stand or a multinational conglomerate, financial reports will be the most valuable planning tool that you have at your disposal.
- Reporting to Outside Users: Outside users are entities external to your business who desire (or require) financial reports for your company. The classic example is your bank. If you are trying to get an equipment loan, the bank will want to see your most current income statement and balance sheet at minimum. They will likely want to compare multiple years to see what your growth trends suggest about your future. Other users may be federal, state, or municipal taxing authorities, investors, shareholders, or insurance companies.
