General Bookkeeping Questions

Bookkeeping is the process of systematically recording and tracking a business’s daily financial activities. The purpose of bookkeeping is to ensure that all incoming and outgoing money is recorded in the right way, so you can generate accurate financial statements and file tax returns with ease. If you do not accurately track your business’s financial transactions, you can run into problems such as financial mismanagement, tax issues, cash flow problems, and trouble obtaining funding.

A bookkeeping service provides your business with organized processes for all of the financial transactions in your business. This can involve:

  • tracking expenses
  • sending invoices
  • reconciling your accounts, among many other tasks

By implementing these processes, a bookkeeper can help make your business’s bookkeeping easier so that you do not have to worry about financial organization and record-keeping. With consistent bookkeeping, your business’s financial information will be up-to-date, and you will be able to spend less time sorting through financial paperwork and spreadsheets and more time focusing on growing your business while knowing that your books are in good hands.

  • Bookkeeping is the process of recording and organizing a business’s financial transactions accurately and consistently.
  • Accounting uses the information produced by bookkeeping to analyze and summarize financial data.

While bookkeeping focuses on maintaining the day-to-day financial records of a business, an accounting firm, or a tax professional uses this data to file taxes and provide financial advice and planning services.

At Quiver Bookkeeping and Advising, we combine the historical data of bookkeeping with the forward looking data analysis of Accounting to provide KPI (Key Performance Indicator) Dashboards and advisory services.

Our bookkeeping services start at a very competitive $300 per month. During your free consultation, we’ll discuss the full scope of bookkeeping services you’ll be needing in addition to other responsibilities such as advising or payroll to give you a competitive rate. Often, outsourcing your bookkeeping to reduce costly errors and optimize financials will more than often pay for itself.

Yes. While accounting rules and reporting requirements differ for legal business entities, every business, large or small, can benefit from accurate professional bookkeeping.

Data Entry

What bookkeeping software do you use?

We use QuickBooks Online and Xero cloud accounting software for all of our clients. Quiver Bookkeeping & Advising provides clients with the full functionality of both QuickBooks Online and Xero. We can adjust how we process your data to suit the platform that best suits your business.

How do you ensure accurate data entry in QuickBooks or Xero?

Quiver Bookkeeping & Advising uses bank feeds and manually checks the accuracy of each transaction as they are imported into QuickBooks or Xero. We ensure the accuracy and completeness of the import by manually matching and confirming every transaction in QuickBooks or Xero to your actual bank statement. Quiver Bookkeeping & Advising sets up the account in line with best practices. We use data-entry and categorization best practices to ensure there are no duplicate entries and that the accounts are correct. This ensures the accuracy of your financial reports upon completion.

Can you help set up my QuickBooks or Xero account from scratch?

Yes. We can set up your complete QuickBooks Online or Xero account for you. We set up all bank, asset, liability, and income/expense accounts. We customize them to your business needs and set them up to meet accounting best practices. We can set up all credit card and bank connections for your QuickBooks or Xero. In QuickBooks, we create and set up invoicing and billing to work with your QuickBooks settings. In Xero, we set up the invoicing and billing templates for you. We enter opening balances for you if needed, so QuickBooks or Xero starts with a clean slate and your first bank feeds are already correct.

How often do you update financial records in the software?

It depends on your needs. We can set up a schedule with you so we update your records weekly, monthly, or at any other time that works best for you. We can update your records weekly for many clients and ensure they always have up-to-date information about their business. For other clients, we can update their records more frequently to meet their needs and help them manage their cash flow or meet other requirements.

Estimates & Invoicing

Can you create and manage estimates for my business?

Yes. We can set up all estimates and send them to your customer from QuickBooks or Xero. We enter estimates in QuickBooks and Xero and send them to the client for approval. Then we can convert the estimates into invoices and send them to clients once they accept them. We handle all data entry for these documents as they are being done.

How do you handle invoicing for clients or customers?

We have a simple invoicing workflow to ensure you can bill your clients accurately and promptly. When you provide your client’s billing information, we create and send invoices through QuickBooks or Xero. We ensure that payment terms are correctly applied, taxes are calculated, and all required supporting documents are included on the invoice. This makes it easier for your clients to make a payment without any delay.

Can I customize the invoices with my branding?

Yes. Your customer communication must look professional and be uniform across all channels, which is why your invoice needs to include your company logo, brand colors, preferred font, and so on. Your company language, terms and conditions, and payment instructions should also look customized with your company style and policies.

Do you track overdue invoices and follow up on them?

Yes. We will constantly review your aged receivables and identify past-due invoices. If there are, they will follow a payment reminder schedule to remind your customers with email alerts to pay the invoices. This will help reduce the number of late payments your clients make. However, we do not directly contact your clients to resolve overdue invoices.

We Provide The Best in Bookkeeping and Advising Services

Bank/Credit Card Reconciliation

What is bank reconciliation, and why do I need it?

Reconciliation is when you compare the records you have in your accounting software with your bank and credit card statements. This step is necessary because it lets you know whether every transaction recorded in your software has actually appeared on the bank statement or if someone has charged you for anything you did not authorize. This step will also ensure that you find anything that may not have made it on the bank statement and that your balance sheet accurately reflects the true balance in your bank account.

How frequently do you reconcile your bank/credit card statements?

We reconcile all your connected bank and credit card accounts monthly. We need to do this so that your bank statements are closed at the end of the month, and your monthly reporting is accurate. We will also catch any discrepancies before they snowball.

Can you resolve discrepancies when reconciling?

Yes. Reconciliation means comparing your accounting software records with your bank or credit card statements. When we come across missing transactions, duplicate charges, or any other discrepancies, we investigate the cause and resolve them immediately, either by creating adjusting entries or by contacting your bank/credit card company. If you see that your records don’t match your records, we will get them balanced.

What if I have more than one bank account and credit card(s) that need to be reconciled?

We’re able to manage many checking, savings, and credit card accounts. Quiver Bookkeeping & Advising tracks the flow of your internal transfers to ensure we aren’t double-counting anything, and we verify that each of your bank and credit card statements balances on its own. This ensures that everything is accurate, no matter how many banks you use.

Accounts Payable (AP) / Accounts Receivable (AR)

What is the difference between accounts payable and accounts receivable?

Accounts payable (AP) is the money your business owes to its vendors, suppliers, and contractors. Accounts receivable (AR) is the money that others owe your business as a result of their business with you. We help manage your accounts payable and accounts receivable. However, we can’t help you resolve billing/invoicing disputes. You will need to do that yourself or with the assistance of an attorney or collection agency.

Do you manage my accounts payable / accounts receivable processes (bill payments, collections)?

Yes. We can manage your full-cycle accounts payable and accounts receivable, relieving you of the responsibility for processing these transactions. For your accounts payable, we manage the process, starting with receiving, verifying, and scheduling your vendor bills for final approval and payment. For your accounts receivable, we create, send, and follow up on invoices and statements to facilitate your collections.

How do you ensure that you pay your vendors and suppliers on time?

We track vendor bills and organize them by due date and any early payment discounts. Our AP aging summarizes your bills and provides a weekly or biweekly payment schedule to help you maximize cash use and avoid overdue vendor payments. This helps you maintain your business credit rating and avoids paying interest or late fees.

Do you provide reports on your accounts receivable / accounts payable aging?

Yes. We provide you with your AP and AR aging reports at month-end, detailing your outstanding invoices and bills you’re waiting to pay. Your aging report is broken down into 30-60-90 day aging buckets and gives you a clear picture of any cash you have due.

How do you organize your transactions in order to report on taxes?

We categorize each transaction according to its correct classification as defined by the IRS and your chart of accounts. Throughout the year, we tag each transaction with its corresponding account category or tax category. That way, when we do your taxes, you are already prepped and ready to provide the tax preparer with the proper information to claim all your allowable business deductions.

Can you make sure that my financial records are tax-compliant?

Yes. We ensure tax compliance by always adhering to generally accepted accounting practices and maintaining solid records. We review your transactions with you to ensure there is a clear distinction between personal and business expenses and that items such as meals, entertainment, and travel meet IRS documentation standards. Our meticulous attention ensures that your books stand on their own and comply with official tax reporting rules.

Do you work with my CPA or my tax preparer during tax season?

Absolutely. Quiver Bookkeeping & Advising is always happy to be in direct contact with you and your CPA. We make sure your CPA has access to up-to-date, reconciled financial statements, a general ledger, and your books when necessary. We answer any questions they might have and provide additional information whenever requested, ensuring a smooth, hassle-free process when taxes roll around each year.

How do you take care of deductible items on your taxes?

We diligently record all business-related expenses that may be deducted for tax purposes, ensuring they are accurately recorded in the appropriate expense accounts listed on Schedule C or in corporate tax filings. We provide recommendations on which records to keep for those items, such as digital receipts and mileage logs. Our careful monitoring of these items guarantees that you get the full benefit of tax deductibles that you are legally entitled to. Of course, we do not provide tax advice or represent you to the IRS–we leave that for your CPA.

Sales tax monitoring

Yes. Our job is to set up your books to automatically apply the appropriate sales tax percentage to each and every invoice and sales receipt that applies. Your sales tax rates are recorded in the software by:

  • specifying each sales tax agency
  • linking each item or service you offer to an agency
  • letting the software do the rest by tracking the amount owed for your specific sale

This process helps us avoid collecting too little or too much.

Resource: https://tax.colorado.gov/sales-use-tax

If you use QuickBooks they file the sales taxes for you. Otherwise, Yes. If your business is required to collect sales tax, we prepare all the required sales tax forms for you to send out. We retrieve the correct sales tax amounts from your account and submit those figures, along with the payment, to the appropriate state or local tax office for the appropriate state or local forms. We will file your sales tax in accordance with the frequency you are required to file (monthly, quarterly, annually, etc.).

Sales tax laws are ever-changing and require you to stay current to ensure compliance, but we will make sure we stay informed about any changes or additions to them. We keep an up-to-date list of all sales tax rates for your applicable jurisdictions and ensure you record all taxable and non-taxable sales. We are here to help you avoid fines or tax office audits for any non-compliance.

Yes. We also have experience navigating the complexities of e-commerce and multi-state economic nexus thresholds, which can get complicated pretty fast! We can provide advanced bookkeeping and sales tax solutions that integrate with your online platform, allowing us to monitor your sales in each state. As you reach the filing threshold in a new state, we can help you register to ensure you remain compliant.

Clean-Up / Catch-up Work

Yes. Our professional accounting services extend beyond daily bookkeeping to include financial records clean-up. We can take the messy financial records you’ve accumulated over time, analyze your current ledger for inaccuracies, and get you back on your regularly scheduled accounting services in a jiffy. Our services include a comprehensive clean-up of your general ledger to identify errors in transaction categorization and bank reconciliations, broken QuickBooks integrations, and other issues. Once these errors have been identified, we can provide services to repair and restructure your chart of accounts, correct misclassifications and other accounting errors, and get your books in shape.

Similar to our clean-up services, we can take on financial records we’ve missed due to unavailability or falling behind and get your books back on track. We can help you catch up on any months or years your bookkeeping may have fallen behind on. This involves collecting all the bank statements, credit card records, and payroll reports that were missing from the last accounting period, organizing, categorizing, and reconciling the data, and entering them into your general ledger to bring you up to date on your current state of affairs. We can perform catch-up bookkeeping one month or multiple months at a time, helping you to get caught up on your books and get on with running your business.

This question is an essential component of our catch-up and clean-up services and can be done in conjunction. To identify these errors, we will review your books, checking for duplicate transactions and double entries in your ledger, incorrect opening balances in your bank accounts, zero expense entries with a negative balance, and outstanding checks that were never cleared. To correct these errors, we will simply record journal entries to offset prior errors without affecting already-closed periods. This can then be used as a reference point for our accounting services moving forward.

In most cases, catch-up work can be completed in a week, depending on the time and transaction volumes required, the number of entries in your general ledger, and the amount of missing data you may have accumulated. This could also be completed faster or more slowly, depending on how much work we have to complete for you. We will perform an initial diagnostic review to determine whether your financial books are in order. At the end of the review, you will have a better sense of the timeline and the scope of work that is necessary to get your books in order.
