The Bookkeeping Process

Bookkeeper is responsible for recording and maintaining a business’ financial transactions, such as purchases, expenses, and sales revenue. They will record financial data into general ledgers, which are used to produce the balance sheet and accounts at the year end.

 

Helpful hint: Ask your bookkeeper to recommend an Accountant if you do not already have one. They will usually have accountants that they already work with and can recommend upon experience.
