Bookkeeping FAQ’s

While the Heartfelt CFO and Tax Services are headquartered on Long Island, we proudly serve the five boroughs of New York, as well as Suffolk and Nassau Counties. Located outside of these areas? Not to worry – our virtual CFO and Bookkeeping Services guarantee that your business will have an experienced and trustworthy team at your disposal, no matter your location.

We specialize in custom bookkeeping services, both onsite and remote in all areas, including business accounting, financial auditing, real estate and medical accounting and much more.

Both bookkeepers and accountants are on-hand to keep track of your company income. Bookkeeping involves daily record maintenance, including the payment and receipt of bulls, managing sales and receiving customer payments, as well as payroll processing. Accounting is essentially an extension of bookkeeping. Accountants review bookkeeping, complete reconciliation of banking and credit cards, complete payroll, sales and property tax returns and compile quarterly financial reports to summarize all collected data.

It’s not uncommon for potential clients to express their concerns over bookkeeping costs. What it comes down to is time and expertise. Balancing bookkeeping demands on top of the regular responsibilities of owning a business are incredibly time consuming. Understanding and managing tax law, employee classification and payroll procedures require training and experience. Don’t let a flawed accounting system be enough to seriously hurt or even bankrupt a company. Outsourcing your bookkeeping needs provides you with time to focus on business operations, and working with a qualified bookkeeping service guarantees pristine records and hassle-free tax seasons.

While there are countless software programs available to be your own bookkeeper, these apps are very rigid in their capabilities. There are situations that do not simply fit inside a designated category, and in those cases you will need the guidance and expertise of a bookkeeping professional.

Our team works with Sage, QuickBooks and zero software programming, as well as a multitude of specialized software programming and applications for our clients needs.

Bookkeeping and accounting are ongoing and integral parts of your business. Whether you are just starting a business or you’re feeling overwhelmed by the current state of your records, having a professional and designated bookkeeping professional on-hand to guide and advise you is imperative. Our goal is to provide you and your company with the tools you need to succeed.

We’ve seen this more times than we can count; sometimes small business owners need to borrow from Peter to pay Paul or they have one designated pile of saved receipts.

Working with a professional to handle your books will ensure that all of your finances are in order, should you need to provide records for an audit, and will help you determine how to expense and save receipts for all of your daily business transactions.
