Bookkeepers and bookkeeping services can be a small business owner’s best investment. Bookkeepers save small businesses money by keeping their books in order and providing accurate financial reports – giving the small business owner more time to do what they do best. 

Bookkeepers handle a wide range of duties, including recording financial transactions, maintaining accurate records, and balancing the books of a business. Bookkeepers can manage accounts receivable and accounts payable for small businesses – they can create and send invoices, accept payments, and so much more. They use small business accounting software to reconcile bank accounts and lines of credit, and create vital reports such as Profit & Loss statements and Balance Sheets. Bookkeepers can track and manage inventory, provide payroll services, and even track time. The key financial statements that they prepare can help prepare you for tax time, and their assistance in translating the reports into layman’s terms can help you make smart business decisions.

Making the switch to using an online bookkeeping software like Quickbooks Online or Xero is an ideal choice for small business owners who are looking for more accuracy in their books and reporting – when you just need someone to keep your books in order, working with a bookkeeper who uses one of these cloud-based bookkeeping software solutions is the perfect choice. Online bookkeeping is also great for our remote entrepreneurial lifestyles – since Quickbooks and Xero are cloud-based, you can keep tabs on the financial health of your business anytime from anywhere – office to the beach!

What does bookkeeping software do?

Bookkeeping software allows bookkeepers to accurately manage the finances of a small business. Software such as Xero or Quickbooks Online are all cloud-based and perform a wide variety of bookkeeping functions – creating reports like your Profit & Loss statement, working in Accounts Payable and Receivable, and balancing your books.

Online bookkeeping programs like Xero and Quickbooks Online connect seamlessly with your bank accounts to import transactions. This not only helps save time over entering transactions manually, but it also reduces the human error element that comes with manual data entry and can provide up-to-date financial reports. The software even knows how to categorize your transactions to match your Chart of Accounts. It makes reconciling your accounts every month a breeze!

Main functions of online bookkeeping software:

  • Importing & categorizing transactions from your bank
  • Reconciling bank accounts
  • Accounts payable
  • Accounts receivable
  • General ledger
  • Preparing key financial statements
  • Managing inventory and purchase orders

Why you should hire a professional bookkeeper

Keeping your company’s books accurate and up-to-date takes up a lot of valuable time as a small business owner. And as your business grows you’ll find you don’t have enough hours in the day to accurately manage your own small business bookkeeping. Hiring a professional bookkeeper becomes essential to keeping your finances on track. With a bookkeeper on your team, you can then easily review your finances, make smart decisions fast, and grow your small business.

Xendoo’s online bookkeeping service plans utilize Xero and Quickbooks Online software, and come with a dedicated team of bookkeepers and accountants who are committed to helping you grow your business. Xendoo offers a variety of packages because we know not all business owners are created equal. You can choose the package that works best for you and your business.

Conclusion
