Outsourced bookkeeping: FAQs about how to keep your business on track

In Rancho Cucamonga Area Business Owners Ask: Why is a Sound Bookkeeping System so Important?

As its name suggests, “bookkeeping” is about “keeping” your “books” in order. But what are those “books” exactly? And why is it so important to “keep” them? Whyte & Associates, Inc. is happy to shed some light on this critical (albeit tedious and time-consuming) business function and system, courtesy of common questions from some of our most valued clients across the Rancho Cucamonga, California, area.

How do you perform bookkeeping?

Our team of financial and accounting professionals blends the art and science of bookkeeping to collect, track, organize, retrieve, and report transactions. These functions are second nature to us due to our nearly 70 years of experience partnering with businesses and organizations to “keep” their vital financial records. Our services are furthermore powered by intuitive software and a secure infrastructure. So, you know your important documents are protected and can be retrieved and managed in the most responsive manner possible.

Why is it so important to keep accurate, consistent, and timely “books”?

Just as bookkeeping is a sum of many different parts, it also has an outsized influence on many different aspects of your business. It can make or break savvy tax preparation and strategies to reduce your tax burden. How well you keep the books also helps or hinders compliance initiatives, proper responses to audits, and the improvements that drive operational efficiencies and profits. Our clients also appreciate that they sleep better knowing that accurate and up-to-date documents are at their fingertips should lenders request specific data.

Why not just keep bookkeeping “in-house”?

By their nature, bookkeeping functions are often rote and routine and take a lot of time; however, this is not to downplay their significance. They demand the highest quality service. There is absolutely no room for errors, oversights, and incomplete documentation. Plus, even the most diligent owners/bookkeepers deserve to be able to focus on what they love and know best, as well as those tasks that are necessary to grow the business and drive loyalty. You are not able to dedicate the time that tasks like business development deserve when poring over the intricacies of the financial documents, statements, and reports that make your operations go around.

Aren’t all outsourcing services the same?

Absolutely not! Outside firms with bookkeeping services vary considerably in terms of experience, training, and how they deliver their services. They may also have vastly different resources in terms of both talent and software to bring to the table. Whyte & Associates, Inc. strikes a balance of technical expertise (we are powered by actual humans – not just AI!) as well as sophisticated and secure systems. Such infrastructure only complements our human talent and ability to properly and safely store, organize, retrieve, manage, and report sensitive data. As your local Rancho Cucamonga, CA, area partner, we are highly accessible and transparent in tailoring bookkeeping programs to your current needs. There are no “cookie-cutter” or “one-size-fits-all” approaches here. Our highly scalable services span everything from monthly to annual statements, depending on your business’s current needs.
