Frequently Asked Questions

Running a small business means wearing many hats, but bookkeeping shouldn’t be one of them. A professional bookkeeper ensures your books are accurate, up-to-date, and compliant—freeing you to focus on growing your business. Bookkeepers also help you avoid costly mistakes and identify opportunities for savings. 

Many small business owners think they can’t afford bookkeeping help—but the truth is, not hiring one often costs more. A bookkeeper can:

• Catch errors before they become expensive problems
   
• Reconcile accounts to prevent overdraft or missed deductions
   
• Prepare clean financials for your tax preparer, saving on CPA fees
   
• Keep you compliant with IRS recordkeeping requirementsm.

Bookkeepers handle the day-to-day financial recordkeeping—tracking income, expenses, payroll, and reconciliations—while accountants typically focus on tax filing and strategy. Think of your bookkeeper as the one who keeps your financial house in order all year long so your accountant can do their job efficiently and accurately. 

That depends on your business size and activity. Most small businesses benefit from monthly bookkeeping, but some only need quarterly or cleanup services. Warner Bookkeeping offers flexible options so you can choose what fits your needs and budget.
