Accurate, Reliable, and Stress-Free Bookkeeping for Your Business

What Is Basic Bookkeeping?

Basic bookkeeping is the foundation of your company’s financial health. It involves organizing daily transactions, recording income and expenses, reconciling bank accounts, and preparing clear financial reports. While it may sound simple, bookkeeping is often one of the most overlooked areas of business management. Many owners find themselves scrambling at tax time or making decisions without reliable financial data. At BPH Bookkeeping, we remove that burden by handling the essentials with precision and consistency. Whether you’re a startup, freelancer, or small business owner, our Basic Bookkeeping package ensures your numbers always add up.

What’s Included in Our Basic Bookkeeping Services?

At BPH Bookkeeping, our Basic Bookkeeping package covers the essentials every small business needs to stay organized:

Income & Expense Tracking

Every dollar your business earns or spends is tracked and categorized. This makes it easy to monitor cash flow and understand which areas of your business are most profitable.

Monthly Reconciliations

We review your bank and credit card statements each month to ensure they match your records. This eliminates discrepancies, reduces errors, and ensures your books are always accurate.

Financial Reporting

You’ll receive clear, easy-to-read monthly and annual financial reports. These aren’t just for accountants, they’re for you. Our reports highlight profit, loss, and overall performance, giving you the tools to make confident decisions.

Organized Records

From invoices to receipts, we maintain an orderly record-keeping system so nothing slips through the cracks. When tax season arrives, everything is ready and waiting.

Tax-Ready Books

By keeping your books current throughout the year, we make tax preparation simple. You’ll avoid the stress of last-minute scrambling and ensure compliance with state and federal requirements.

This comprehensive approach ensures your finances are always up to date, accessible, and easy to understand.
