FAQ

What's the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?

A bookkeeper records and reconciles transactions throughout the year; an accountant interprets those records, files statutory accounts and tax, and advises. Many firms do both.

How often should bookkeeping be done?

Monthly is standard so VAT/GST and management accounts stay accurate; high-volume businesses reconcile weekly.
