    What Does a Bookkeeper Do?

    Hire a dedicated Bookkeeper who handles your accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliation, payroll processing, and financial reporting. Office-based, managed daily, working your US hours.

    The problem: Your books are months behind. Receipts pile up. Bank statements go unreconciled. You do not know your real cash position until your CPA calls with questions at tax time. Freelance bookkeepers miss entries, lose context between clients, and disappear when you need a quick turnaround. You need someone who works your books every day, not once a quarter.

    Core Responsibilities

    Accounts payable processing and vendor invoice management
    Accounts receivable tracking and follow-up on outstanding payments
    Bank and credit card statement reconciliation
    Payroll data entry and processing support
    Expense report review and categorization
    General ledger maintenance and journal entries
    Month-end and year-end close support
    Financial statement preparation (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)
    Sales tax tracking and filing preparation
    1099 contractor payment tracking
    Budget vs actual variance reporting
    Vendor and client payment communication

    Bookkeeper FAQ

    Common questions from US businesses hiring a remote Bookkeeper.

    Our bookkeepers are trained on QuickBooks Online, Xero, FreshBooks, Wave, and Bill.com. They adapt to your existing platform and can learn new tools during onboarding.

    Yes. Your bookkeeper processes payroll data entry, tracks contractor payments for 1099s, and coordinates with payroll platforms like Gusto or ADP. They handle the operational work while your CPA or accountant reviews compliance-level decisions.

    No. Bookkeepers handle day-to-day financial record-keeping: categorization, reconciliation, and reporting. Tax preparation and filing should be handled by a licensed CPA. However, clean books from your bookkeeper make tax season significantly faster and cheaper.

    We deliver 3 vetted candidates within 14 days of your discovery call. Once selected, onboarding and accounting platform access setup typically takes 1-2 business days.

    Most small businesses start with 80h/month (Part-Time) for daily bookkeeping coverage. If you process high transaction volumes or need daily reconciliation across multiple accounts, 160h/month (Full-Time) gives you dedicated daily coverage. The 40h Starter works for businesses with lower transaction volumes.

    A bookkeeper manages daily financial transactions: recording income and expenses, reconciling accounts, processing invoices, and generating reports. An accountant interprets that data for strategic decisions, handles tax planning, and ensures regulatory compliance. Most businesses need both, and clean bookkeeping makes your accountant more effective and less expensive.
