Bookkeeping Services
Done Right. Done Often.
Categorizing
Transactions
Every transaction going out of and into your business plays a specific role in the accounting process. We make sure they find their way home.
Reconciling Credit
Card Accounts
Similar to bank accounts, each credit card account must be reconciled monthly to ensure accuracy in your financial data.
Posting Journal
Entries
A more advanced accounting principle, journal entries are used to maintenance areas such as depreciation, insurance, and errors.
Generating
Financial Reports
There are three reports created monthly that can tell you the health of your business: Profit/Loss, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flows.
Reconciling Bank Accounts
A true check and balance system, matching transactions to monthly bank statements is a staple in the bookkeeping process.
Monitoring
Activity
We monitor your transactions and notify you if anything looks off. This helps eliminate waste in your expenses by identifying errors and mistakes.
Closing the
Books
A good accounting practice, closing your books every month ensures transactions aren't accidentally edited or deleted in the future.
Filing
Sales Taxes
Your business may be liable for sales tax depending on what you do. We'll handle this for you, making this a stress-free part of the accounting process.
Are you still with us?
Look, we get it. You probably fell asleep halfway through this page. If this stuff got you fired up like it does us, you would own your own accounting business. And that's the point. You don't want to have to worry about making a journal entry for accumulated depreciation and prepaid insurance every month or categorizing that receipt from Texas Roadhouse for a client lunch to Meals and Entertainment (What are they putting in those rolls, anyway?). But at the end of the day, somebody has to do it. Let the pros at PaperLight Virtual Accounting and Tax handle it, along with all other accounting needs your business needs to succeed.
