So you're an Accountant, eh?

Hello Friends & Followers,

I've worked for over a decade doing bookkeeping and financial management for various companies. I've interacted with many small-medium sized businesses who have existing in-house or contracted bookkeepers who do not understand how to interpret financial statements, foresee tax implications, or even understand the nature of the corporate structures under which they work. Not having a comprehensive knowledge of accounting and tax as a bookkeeper can actually affect the bottom line of the companies for which they work. GOOD BOOKKEEPING IS NOT JUST DATA ENTRY. It is the purposeful logging of transactions with an understanding of how those transactions impact financial statements, and the company's overall financial health. With a clear understanding of accounting principles, good communication with the client, and a clear procedure for capturing and categorizing all of the transactions accurately, a bookkeeper can add a lot of value to their client's business. This is why Above Par focuses on high-quality bookkeeping and training for bookkeepers, in addition to tax prep and consulting.
