Bookkeeping services for New York businesses
Bookkeeping for a New York business comes down to three jobs that repeat every month. Every bank and card transaction gets matched to a record. Every invoice you're owed and every bill you owe gets tracked. Then both turn into reports. That's the work we take off your desk.
What monthly bookkeeping covers
Your bookkeeper sets up your accounts and chart of accounts, or migrates them from your current system. After that, the monthly work is bank and credit card reconciliation, recording income and expenses, tracking fixed assets and depreciation, payroll accounting, and keeping receivables and payables current.
The output is financial statements, a cash flow view with forecasting, and reports built around the numbers you actually look at.
