Question 1

How much does bookkeeping cost per month?

Accepted Answer

Virtual bookkeeping typically costs between $350-$900 per month for small businesses in New Braunfels, depending on transaction volume and complexity. Monthly bookkeeping includes bank reconciliation, financial statements, and tax-ready records. This is 40-60% less expensive than hiring a full-time in-house bookkeeper.

Question 2

What is the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?

Accepted Answer

Bookkeepers handle day-to-day financial transactions including bank reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, and financial reporting. Accountants typically hold a CPA license and provide tax preparation, audits, and strategic financial planning. Most small businesses need a bookkeeper for ongoing financial management and an accountant for annual tax filing.

Question 3

Can you help me catch up on years of bookkeeping?

Accepted Answer

Yes, catch-up bookkeeping is one of our specialty services. We can help you get caught up on years of backlogged books in New Braunfels and surrounding areas. The process typically involves gathering bank statements, categorizing transactions systematically, reconciling accounts, and preparing accurate financial statements. Most cleanup projects take 2-6 weeks depending on complexity.

Do you work with QuickBooks Online or Desktop?

Accepted Answer

We primarily work with QuickBooks Online. As certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors at the Platinum level, we recommend QuickBooks Online for most small businesses due to real-time access, automatic backups, easier bank integration, and better collaboration capabilities for virtual bookkeeping.
