Bookkeeping services
A customer may have invoices, receipts and bank activity that need to become usable business records. Describe the systems, transaction volume and backlog so the bookkeeper can define processing and reconciliation work, while keeping financial documents and account credentials out of the public enquiry.
Service scope
Organising and maintaining a business's transaction records under an agreed workflow, including source-document processing and reconciliations where scoped. Bookkeeping is not automatically accounts certification, tax advice, audit assurance or authority to make payments for the customer.
What is normally included
- Transaction-record maintenance
- Source-document organisation
- Agreed reconciliations and routine summaries
What is not included
- Audit opinions
- Unauthorised bank transactions
- Guaranteed tax treatment of every entry
Typical tasks
- Agree the record-processing workflow
- Organise source documents
- Record transactions within the agreed system
- Reconcile specified balances
- Flag exceptions for authorised review
What to include in your brief
- Business type and jurisdiction
- Approximate monthly transactions
- Software used
- Backlog period
- Required processing and reporting frequency
Choosing the right professional
Ask how the provider handles missing evidence, unusual transactions and review by an accountant or tax adviser. Confirm secure access and payment boundaries; permission to maintain books should not be treated as permission to move money or decide every tax issue.
Important considerations
- Missing documents can limit reliable records
- Software access may expose confidential information
- Bookkeeping output is not independent assurance
