What does a bookkeeper do?

A bookkeeper records the day to day money of a business. That means entering invoices, bills and expenses, matching them to the bank statement, and producing regular reports. A bookkeeper keeps the records accurate. An accountant then uses those records for advice, year end accounts and tax returns.

Questions about bookkeeping

What is the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?

A bookkeeper records and reconciles the day to day transactions. An accountant uses those records to give advice, prepare year end accounts and file tax returns. Virtually On It provides bookkeeping, not accounting or tax services.

Do you file tax returns?

No. We keep your books accurate and ready. Tax advice and tax filing are done by your own accountant or tax adviser.

Which bookkeeping software do you work in?

Tell us which software you use on the first call and we will confirm before anything starts. If you have none, we can suggest a simple option.

My books are months behind. Can you help?

Yes. A books clean up brings past months up to date and reconciles them, then monthly bookkeeping keeps them current.

How do I send receipts and documents?

You upload or forward them in the way agreed in your plan, usually a shared folder or your bookkeeping software.
