Our Bookkeeping Process

At Denver Accountant, we follow a systematic approach to bookkeeping:

1. Initial Assessment and Setup

We begin with a thorough assessment of your current bookkeeping situation, business needs, and goals. Based on this evaluation, we establish or refine your bookkeeping system, including software selection, chart of accounts setup, and process development. This foundation ensures efficient and accurate financial record-keeping moving forward.

2. Regular Transaction Processing

On a schedule that works for your business (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly), we process all financial transactions, including sales, purchases, payments, and receipts. Each transaction is properly categorized and documented, creating a complete and accurate record of your business activities.

3. Monthly Reconciliation and Review

At the end of each month, we reconcile all accounts, ensuring that your books match your bank statements and other external records. This reconciliation process identifies and resolves any discrepancies, maintaining the integrity of your financial data.

4. Financial Reporting

After reconciliation, we generate financial reports that provide clear insights into your business performance. These reports include standard financial statements as well as any custom reports needed for your specific business management or decision-making needs.

5. Analysis and Consultation

Beyond basic reporting, we review your financial information to identify trends, opportunities, or concerns. We provide insights and recommendations based on this analysis, helping you use your financial data to make informed business decisions.

6. Year-End Preparation

At year-end, we perform additional reviews and procedures to prepare your books for tax filing and annual financial reporting. This preparation ensures a smooth transition to the tax preparation process and accurate annual financial statements.
