Bank Reconciliation
Reconciling your business checking account each month allows us to keep your books, accounting, and taxes up-to-date—it’s a vital step towards understanding how your business is performing.
Having us reconcile your account each month allows you to...
- Identify lost, fraudulent, or forged checks, lost deposits and unauthorized wire transactions
- Detect and prevent excess or unjustified bank charges.
- Ensure transactions are posted correctly by your bank.
- Detect and prevent embezzlement within your company.
- Manage your cash more effectively
- and sleep easy! Knowing your bank accounts are reconciled means one less thing on your mind to keep you up at night.
Income Statement
An income statement—also known as a profit and loss statement—is essentially an itemized list that subtracts your expenses from your revenues to determine profit or loss over a given period.
An income statement allows you to...
-
Calculate the operating performance of your business.
-
Determine which areas of your business are over- or under-budget.
-
Identify specific items that are leading to unexpected or excessive expenditure.
-
Track dramatic increases in product returns or cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales.
-
Determine your income tax liability.
Balance Sheet
A balance sheet is a snapshot of your business' financial health at a given moment in time, helping you to:
-
Quickly get a handle on the financial health of your business.
-
Identify and analyze trends, particularly in the areas of receivables and payables. For example, if your receivables cycle is lengthening, you may need to follow-up with your clients more diligently.
-
Determine if your business is in a position to expand.
-
Calculate how your business is handling the regular ebb and flow of revenues and expenses.
-
Understand whether you need to take steps to bolster cash reserves
-
Recognize if your business has been slowing down payables to forestall a possible cash shortage.
-
Generate financial reports for potential lenders such as banks or other investors who are considering how much credit to grant you.
Maintaining a Clean General Ledger
The general ledger is the core of your company's financial records, constituting the central "books" of your system. Since every transaction flows through the general ledger, a mistake here will create further issues elsewhere.
Having us review your general ledger each month allows us to hunt down any discrepancies—like double billings or unrecorded payments—that may be lurking there.
