What Does a Bookkeeping Service Include for a Small Business?

Bookkeeping services typically include transaction recording, bank reconciliation, accounts payable and receivable management, and monthly financial reports. This may also include payroll coordination and software support to keep records audit-ready year-round.

How Is Bookkeeping Different from Accounting?

Bookkeeping focuses on recording and organizing daily financial transactions, while accounting involves interpreting, analyzing, and reporting on that data. At Lenker and Associates LLC, both services are handled by the same CPA-led team, improving accuracy and simplifying your year-end tax process.
