Why Work with Lakeside Accounting?

Common Questions

Getting started with professional accounting and tax assistance comes with many questions. We have answered a few of the most common questions below!

How long will it take to get my books caught up?

The time needed depends on how far behind you are and the complexity of your business. Typically, catching up can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. We will provide a specific timeline after assessing your situation.

What documents do I need to provide for bookkeeping catch-up?

Common documents required include bank statements, credit card statements, receipts, invoices, sales records, payroll records, and any other financial documents relevant to your business transactions for the period you’re catching up on.

Can you help with bookkeeping catch-up even if I don't have all the documents?

Yes, we can still help. However, missing documents may make the process longer or more complicated. We can guide you in finding any missing information and use tools to help fill in the gaps if needed.

How much will bookkeeping catch-up cost?

The cost depends on the volume of transactions and the complexity of the work involved. We can provide a custom quote after reviewing your financial records and the extent of the catch-up work. It is generally more expensive to complete a catch-up than if it were kept up on so this is something to keep in mind when trying to decide whether to hire a bookkeeper or not.

What happens after my bookkeeping is caught up?

After catching up, we can set up a regular bookkeeping process to prevent future delays.

What is your bookkeeping consulting/review service?

Bookkeeping consulting/review involves providing reviewing your books that you have completed yourself and providing expert advice and guidance to businesses on how to set up and maintain their financial records. We can help streamline your bookkeeping processes, recommend best practices, and ensure that your financial records are accurate and compliant.

How can bookkeeping consulting benefit my business?

Bookkeeping consulting can improve your financial management, increase efficiency, reduce errors, and help you stay compliant with tax laws. It can also provide you with strategic insights into your business’s financial health, helping you make informed decisions and improve profitability. You may not be in a place right now to afford regular bookkeeping services, so we can provide an hourly rate to review your bookkeeping that you are doing yourself to keep costs down but still ensure you are getting accurate financials.

What types of businesses can benefit from bookkeeping consulting/review?

Any business, whether small or large, can benefit from bookkeeping consulting. Whether you’re a sole proprietor, a startup, or an established company, effective bookkeeping is critical. Our services are tailored to your specific needs and the scale of your business.
