-Please email all BUSINESS ACCOUNT statements (Bank(s), Credit card(s), etc) to our bookkeeper. If your financial accounts contain a mix of PERSONAL and BUSINESS transactions, please indicate or communicate which transactions are personal or for business purposes.
-Bookkeeping clients are responsible for providing the bookkeeper with their monthly statements EVERY month, in a timely manner. This is to ensure that your company’s books are as accurate as possible, and to avoid backlog.
-Bookkeeping clients are greatly encouraged to run ALL BUSINESS transactions through a business account(s). This ensures that all business-related transactions are accounted for, and maintains efficiency and organization for the client, bookkeeper, and tax accountant. Clients will submit cash receipts related to business activity for transactions that are not run through their bank or credit card accounts.
-Clear communication between the bookkeeper and bookkeeping clients is essential. Should the bookkeeper have any questions regarding the business’ financial activities (for example, loan information, transaction details, etc.), the client is expected to respond in a clear and timely manner. This is to ensure that your company’s books are as accurate as possible. Keep your bookkeeper up to date and aware of any new business activity.
