Bookkeeping requirements for Tax Compliance and Other Business Needs

 

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.

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), under the newly legislated Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, provides small businesses with forgivable loans. Administered through the Small Business Administration (SBA), the PPP loan proceeds are to be expended on payroll, rent, mortgage payments, or utilities. Funding spent on covered expenses qualify for PPP loan forgiveness. The (PPPFA) Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020, enacted June 5, 2020, provides borrowers flexibility in their PPP loan. New options include a 24-week covered period, payroll expenditure requirement reduced to 60%, and, for those loans not forgiven, a repayment plan of 5 years.
For assistance with your PPP loan forgiveness or SBA loan (EIDL) compliance, please call our Staten Island CPA office to arrange for a free consultation.
