The Difference Between Bookkeeping and Accounting

As is part of the norm in society, it is not common to know the difference between the duties of an Accountant and the duties of a Bookkeeper.

Bookkeepers perform a critical function for the firms and organizations they serve. They are regularly challenged to maintain precise and accurate records, as well as producing the vital reports that keep management up to date on the financial condition of their company. Simply, bookkeepers are responsible for maintaining the business cheque book, much like one maintains a personal cheque book.

 Trust, reliability and confidentiality head the list of qualities that employers look for when selecting and promoting Certified Bookkeepers. Strong organization and communication skills are also important. Not only are bookkeepers challenged to record routine money transactions, to reconcile accounts and to locate misguided transactions, they also must be able to paint a picture--both verbally and on paper--of all the activities within their assigned area of responsibility.

Accountants are responsible for the design and management of the financial systems that bookkeepers use. They prepare monthly financial statements and tax returns at year end. Accountants may also prepare budgets for management and loan proposals for bankers; and perform cost analysis for the company's products or services.

Whether you have just begun your business, or you have been in business for years, we have the skill to manage your books so it is cost effective and time manageable for you.

We can start up a bookkeeping system for you, and show you how to utilize it to the best of its ability so it ends up working for you. Making journal entries, reconciling bank accounts, entering and paying bills, setting up customers…all of this could be done for you at a reasonable cost.
