Small Business Accounting Services

As a small business owner, you know that every dollar counts. If your small business is still relatively new, you’re likely cutting expenses by doing your own bookkeeping and accounting. Bookkeeping software is becoming more intuitive every year, making this a good solution for some business owners.

The problem occurs when you don’t understand the best financial practices for businesses and don’t have an expert to advise you. Jessi’s Bookkeeping & Financial Services wants to ensure you have the knowledge and tools to build a sustainable business that will provide for your family for years to come.

When Should you Hire a Small Business Accountant?

A small business accountant can be helpful at any stage of your business, even when your accounting needs evolve. Here’s how Jessi’s Bookkeeping & Financial Services can help at three critical stages of your small business journey:

Starting Your Business

Give your business a solid foundation in good financial practices to prevent costly mistakes later on. Jessi’s Bookkeeping & Financial Services can provide a financial analysis of your business plan, advise you on bookkeeping practices, and help you comply with government regulations.

Running Your Business

Once your business is up and running, Jessi’s Bookkeeping & Financial Services will ensure your business stays financially healthy by tracking profits and expenses and providing transparent financial reporting. Let’s maximize your business profit and meet your financial goals!

Growing Your Business

Small Business Accounting FAQs

Can I do my own business accounting?

If you have a solid understanding of money management and good accounting software, you may be able to do your business accounting, especially while your business is small.

As your business grows, however, your finances will become more complicated. For example, you may need to add payroll to your budget, whereas before, you only paid yourself. Or you may need to save up money for a bigger business space. A small business accountant can help you confidently make these decisions, knowing that you have a financial expert in your corner.

If you’re unsure if your small business needs an accountant, schedule a free consultation today. We can talk through your current financial situation and how I might be able to help.

How much does a small business accountant cost?

Accounting fees can vary from a couple hundred dollars per month to a couple thousand. Jessi’s Bookkeeping & Financial Services builds custom accounting packages that make sense for your business, starting at just $350 per month.

What is small business accounting?

Small business accounting carefully tracks and reports your business transactions, from income and purchases to payroll. Small business accountants then analyze that data to help you make the best financial decisions for your business.

Why is accounting useful for small business owners?

Accounting enables you to understand your current financial situation, prevent financial crises, and plan for the future. For example, a profit and loss statement will help you see what your most significant business expenses are so you can look for ways to save money. If you want to make informed financial decisions, accounting is a must.

Do you need a business bank account for a small business?

Yes!

If you work as a contractor or your business is a side hustle, you may get away with only having a personal account. However, mixing personal and business finances can get messy, so it’s best to create a separate business checking account. This will simplify your taxes and protect your personal assets if your business is held liable for damages.

What accounting services do small businesses need?

What accounting services you need will depend on your business size and type. I recommend bookkeeping and financial reporting as a starting point, but payroll management is also highly beneficial for many small business owners.
