What Are Accounting and Bookkeeping Services?

Direct Answer: Accounting & Bookkeeping Defined

Bookkeeping is the process of recording and organizing business transactions such as sales, purchases, expenses, receipts and payments. Accounting goes further by reviewing, classifying and interpreting financial information to prepare reports and support financial and business decisions. Professional accounting support may include transaction recording, ledger maintenance, bank reconciliation, accounts payable, accounts receivable, financial statements, GST-related accounting support, payroll accounting and year-end accounting. The exact scope depends on the size, structure, transaction volume and requirements of the business.
