Why Use A Bookkeeping Service?

A bookkeeper is often misunderstood to be an accounting service. While both bookkeeping and accounting help businesses and individuals manage their finances, they are separate and unique services. Martin, Ketterling & Associates in Ventura offers both services.

A bookkeeper manages routine record keeping and creates financial reports which allow their clients to quickly and easily check on their financial outlook. When you hire an accountant, they are primarily focused on helping you to prepare your personal or business taxes, and to identify ways to reduce your tax liability and increase your tax credits. By using a bookkeeping service in conjunction with an accounting service you receive a full-spectrum of professional financial administration.
