Talk to a Bookkeeping Expert TodayFrequently Asked Questions
What is bookkeeping, and why do I need it?
Bookkeeping is the process of recording and organizing your business’s financial transactions. It ensures you’re prepared for taxes, audits, and financial planning. Clean books are essential for small businesses that want to grow and remain compliant.
What bookkeeping services does RemoteBooksOnline offer?
We provide daily and monthly categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, financial reporting (P&L, balance sheets), CPA review, catch-up bookkeeping, and support for both QuickBooks and Xero.
How is RemoteBooksOnline different from hiring a local bookkeeper?
With RemoteBooksOnline, you get a full bookkeeping team backed by CPAs — at a fixed monthly rate. Unlike local bookkeepers, we scale with your business and deliver nationwide support without hourly fees.
Do you handle taxes or just bookkeeping?
We focus only on bookkeeping. However, all your financials are CPA-ready so your accountant can file state and federal taxes easily. If you don’t have a tax preparer, we can refer a trusted partner.
What types of businesses do you serve?
We support sole proprietors, LLCs, and corporations across industries — including retail, legal, medical, e-commerce, real estate, and professional services.
