In short YES! Everyone can benefit from bookkeeping regardless how big or small a business is. Accurate and reliable bookkeeping is the backbone of a healthy business and help CEO's make informed decisions regarding their businesses. It especially helps when you have a bookkeeping professional that you both trust and enjoy working with such as the team here at Coastal Numbers, hint hint 😉 But in all seriousness, bookkeeping is so important to a business and can answer big questions such as "Am I profitable?" or "Can I afford to hire right now?" If you've ever asked yourself these questions, then you would most definitely benefit in investing in a good bookkeeper!

This a great question and is asked all the time actually! A bookkeeper is an accounting professional that oversees a business's financial records, bank accounts, loans, transactions, reconciliations, and get your business financials ready for tax filing. Bookkeepers also help produce financial statements which tell you the health of your business, and are the documents that banks/investors will ask to see in order to make financing decisions. ' Essentially a bookkeeper makes your books clean and pretty and they're your go to person anytime you have a finance question. 😊 https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTQ2NzJjZTUybTVjN3hpMWZpbGFtOHdnY2RtcjZxd3N4NmVrb2g4cTdhdGh3NHg1eCZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/jEJTJ5ych0vKzS3lxO/giphy.gif However, a bookkeeper CANNOT give tax advice.
