What bookkeepers do

What does a bookkeeper do?

Short answer

A bookkeeper records every business transaction, categorizes it, and reconciles bank, credit card, and loan accounts against their statements each month. The result is a set of clean books: a profit and loss statement, balance sheet, and cash flow report you can trust for taxes, loans, and everyday decisions.
