Do I need a Bookkeeper? What does a Bookkeeper do?
Bookkeepers are responsible for recording and maintaining a business’ financial transactions, such as purchases, expenses, sales revenue, deposits, credit card transactions, invoices, and payments. The bookkeeper will record financial data into general ledgers, which are used to produce the balance sheet and income statement. The bookkeeper is generally responsible for overseeing the first six steps of the Accounting Cycle, while the last two are typically taken care of by an Certified Public Accountant (CPA).
Bookkeepers lay the groundwork for accountants to analyze and prepare the financial statements. Bookkeepers use software, such as Quickbooks or Sage, to assist with the recording of transactions and generally use built-in data processing tools to help in the preparation of the general ledger.
