Frequently Asked Questions about Bookkeeping

What's the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?

Bookkeeping and accounting serve separate and distinct functions in the running of a business. Bookkeeping is the function of documenting and maintaining records of transactions. Accounting is the act of analyzing and interpreting the documentation and turning it into meaningful data. 1-800Accountant offers both accounting and bookkeeping services for small businesses, and can help business owners determine which set of services best fits their needs.

Do small businesses need a bookkeeper?

Small businesses do not require a bookkeeper, but we recommend using one to avoid penalties and increased scrutiny from the IRS. When you work with 1-800Accountant, your books will be organized with accuracy guaranteed, giving you a clear picture of your financial records and the freedom to focus on growing your business.

What is catch-up bookkeeping?

Small businesses use catch-up bookkeeping when they’re behind on their books. 1-800Accountant offers a robust catch-up bookkeeping service to small businesses. No matter how far behind you are – even if you’re years behind – we can get you caught up quickly.
