Why Use a Bookkeeper?
- Smooth Sailing at Tax Time
A bookkeeper keeps your financial records, handles your receipts, and makes sure your tax season is free of errors and stress.
- A Detailed Look at Your Finances
A bookkeeper can assess your finances, determine where your money is going, and identify opportunities to save or earn.
- Advice That Saves You Money
LLCs, sole proprietorships, S-corps—is your business using the right legal structure? Each one has tax implications. We’ll help make sure you’re using the right one.
- More Free Time to Do What You’re Good At
You didn’t start your business to get bogged down in the financials. A bookkeeper takes it all off your hands.
- More Capacity to Grow Your Business
As your business grows, things get more complicated. We’ll help you handle payroll, international taxes, and more so you can expand without the headaches.
- A Service That Pays For Itself
Between financial reporting, saving you time to earn more money, and eliminating costly tax errors, bookkeeping is worth far more than you pay.
Work With a Professional San Francisco Bookkeeper
The smaller your business is, the easier it is to handle your bookkeeping yourself. But if you want room to grow—or to free up time to focus on what you’re good at — you’ll eventually need a bookkeeper.
