Bank & Credit Card Reconciliation

Regular bank reconciliation is one of the most important bookkeeping tasks for protecting your business finances. Our monthly reconciliation process ensures your accounting records match your bank statements, identifies discrepancies, catches errors, and helps prevent fraud.

We reconcile all your business accounts including checking accounts, savings accounts, credit card accounts, and merchant service accounts. This comprehensive approach ensures complete accuracy across all your financial accounts and provides a complete picture of your cash position.

During reconciliation, we identify and resolve differences between your books and bank statements, ensure all deposits are recorded, verify all checks and payments are captured, investigate any unusual or unexpected transactions, and document bank fees, interest, and other charges. This thorough process gives you confidence in your financial data.

Regular reconciliation also provides an early warning system for potential issues. We alert you to unexpected charges, unusual account activity, checks that haven't cleared, deposits that haven't posted, or discrepancies requiring investigation. This proactive monitoring helps protect your business finances.

Accounts Payable & Receivable Management

Accounts Payable Services

Managing vendor relationships and ensuring bills are paid on time requires organized processes and careful attention. Our accounts payable services help you maintain good vendor relationships, take advantage of early payment discounts when beneficial, and track all business obligations systematically.

We process vendor invoices, verify charges against purchase orders or agreements, code expenses to appropriate accounts, schedule payments according to due dates and cash flow, and maintain detailed records of all payables. This organized approach prevents missed payments, duplicate payments, and vendor disputes.

Our payables management also includes regular aging reports showing what's owed, when payments are due, and opportunities to capture early payment discounts. This visibility helps you manage cash flow effectively while maintaining positive vendor relationships.

Accounts Receivable Services

Getting paid promptly is crucial to healthy cash flow. Our accounts receivable services help you maintain accurate customer billing, track payments efficiently, and follow up on overdue accounts to accelerate collections and minimize bad debts.

We prepare and send customer invoices, record customer payments accurately, apply payments to the correct invoices, maintain detailed customer account records, and provide aging reports showing outstanding balances. These processes ensure customers are billed correctly and payments are tracked systematically.
