Bookkeeping Services in Red Deer, Innisfail, & Lacombe

Accurate record-keeping is the foundation for all other bookkeeping services. In precise terms, this means tracking income, expenses, and other relevant information needed for factual financial statements.

Our bookkeepers use accounting software (or your cloud accounting software) to track transactions. This gives you organized records with enhanced accuracy and traceability. You'll get more detailed financial reports, making it easier to forecast future results or plan for upcoming investments.

Reconciliation is also an essential part of any bookkeeper's job and involves comparing actual payments made or received against the details recorded within the books of accounts.

By doing this, bookkeepers identify discrepancies quickly so they can be investigated and rectified. Reconciliation ensures that your statements accurately reflect your company's actual financial position.

We create concise financial reports to give you valuable insight into your company's performance.

Meaningful reports present critical data in an understandable format so you can see at a glance how your organization is faring over any given period - days, weeks, months, or years.

You can make better decisions based on accurate, timely information.
Avoid relying on gut instinct or guesswork, which can lead to costly mistakes.

One advantage of producing reliable financial statements is that they can provide insight into areas for improvement. Regularly updated financials allow you to detect specific opportunities for cost savings or revenue increases. A clear picture of your company's finances can allow you to make well-educated decisions about investing capital in new areas or researching better suppliers.

You need to be ready to present your financial statements and related information on request. Presenting these documents demonstrates to investors, lenders, and potential vendors that your company is organized, dependable, and reliable.

If you produce inaccurate information, it can take months, even years, to reestablish trust with lenders or partners.

Yes, Zenally does prepare financial statements using bookkeeping records from an independent bookkeeper. While some records are very high quality, we find that's not always the case.

It doesn't save you money overall if you hire an inexpensive bookkeeper and then pay us to make adjusting entries to correct mistakes.

While bookkeepers can be highly knowledgeable in maintaining financial records, they do not have the same training, experience, or authority as CPAs.

CPAs are trained to perform complex accounting tasks, such as auditing, financial planning, and tax planning. They are also authorized to sign off on financial statements, which is a legal requirement for many businesses.

The benefits of using Zenally's CPA-supervised bookkeepers include improved accuracy in financial records, cost savings, and increased efficiency.

First, we ensure your bookkeeper understands the nuances of your business and its unique reporting needs. Then we ensure your financial records are reviewed and checked for accuracy, avoiding errors and potential risks. This can save you both time and money in the long run.

Using a CPA-supervised bookkeeper, you can reduce expenses significantly by avoiding inadequate bookkeeping that may require a CPA to repair (at higher rates).

Fraud is when someone intentionally embezels funds or benefits from your business, often with the help of others.

An effective way to reduce the risk of fraud is to outsource your bookkeeping to an experienced provider like Zenally. This avoids the risk of inadequate internal controls and ensures that someone is on the lookout for inconsistencies and irregularities.

At Zenally, our bookkeepers work under the supervision of CPAs with specialized training and experience in detecting and preventing fraud.
