Small Business Bookkeeping Services

What does a bookkeeper do for my small business?

Small business bookkeeping is about dealing with data. Our job is to take your raw data – receipts, records and more – properly enter them where they belong and create reports, income statements, balance sheets and information that can be used for tax returns.

Do you need an office at my business?

No, we perform most of our work virtually – from our office here in San Diego. While we like to meet with clients in the beginning, if possible, and on occasion, we do most of our work in the background. That includes handling all the day-to-day financial tasks of your small business. We collect and process every item of data you provide to us – receipts, sales information, payments, recurring bills and more.

How much do bookkeepers near me charge?

The amount that bookkeepers charge varies widely – depending on experience, training, expertise and what the market will allow. Here are 3 key facts: First, bookkeepers charge less than accountants, who have more education but not necessarily more skill or experience. While you may need some services from an accountant, paying an accountant for bookkeeping services is unnecessarily costly.

Does an accountant really cost more than a bookkeeper?

Absolutely. While bookkeepers charge rates similar to other office professionals and outside contractors, accountants can charge as much as $400 per hour, depending on the type of work, the neighborhood and the experience level. Our bookkeepers provide many of the same accounting services for small business, but because we’re bookkeepers rather than accountants, we charge less.
