Our comprehensive process for clarity
Discover how H. Carter Bookkeeping LLC partners with you every step of the way to ensure your financial success. Our structured approach is designed to simplify your bookkeeping and provide you with actionable insights.
Understanding your business
Our journey begins by getting to know you and your business. We take an overview to understand what your business provides, the number of employees, and your business structure (sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, or C-corp). We also assess your current bookkeeping situation to determine how our services can best benefit you. Should both parties agree to move forward, we initiate the process.
Managing your financial activity
The next step involves collecting all source documents for your financial activity. This includes sales receipts, vendor invoices, bank statements, and credit card statements. We then identify what was purchased or sold, the transaction date, and the exact dollar amount. You will also select your preferred accounting method, either cash basis or accrual basis, to ensure consistency.
Delivering clear financial insights
Transactions are recorded chronologically in journals, often using double-entry bookkeeping to maintain balance. These are then posted to the general ledger, categorizing transactions into specific accounts such as revenue, assets, liabilities, and expenses. We reconcile all accounts, prepare accurate financial statements, and close the books. Finally, we provide a comprehensive financial report for you to review your business performance.
