FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CAN BERK SOLUTIONS DO MY TAXES?
Although we do not handle tax preparation internally, we take the responsibility of ensuring that
your financial records are accurately maintained and updated throughout the year. This ensures
that your books are well-prepared to be handed over to your tax preparer when the time comes.
DO I NEED A BOOKKEEPER IF I HAVE AN ACCOUNTANT? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO?
Contrary to popular belief, accountants and bookkeepers perform distinctly different tasks for the businesses they serve. Bookkeepers are responsible for on-going maintenance of their clients’ general ledgers. A bookkeeper’s common responsibilities consist of:
-
Compiling data on a daily basis
-
Categorizing expenses in the general ledger
-
Reviewing the general ledger for accuracy
-
Reconciling bank statements against the general ledger
-
Generating financial statements
Accountants use the accurate and up-to-date general ledger maintained by the bookkeeper to provide advisory services, such as:
-
Analyzing the company’s financial data
-
Preparing income tax returns
-
Providing tax planning advice
