Bookkeeping for startups.
Bookkeepers of choice for startups.
Startup businesses are new companies that have been started by an entrepreneur. This type of business usually starts up with a very small amount of employees – if any – and the entrepreneur will undertake many of the different tasks that are required to run a business.
One task that is unavoidable for any business – whether it’s a startup or a global corporation – is bookkeeping. Bookkeeping is the act of recording and managing all the financial data for a company. While financial records for smaller businesses, like startups, won’t have the complexity of larger businesses, records are still essential, both for taxation reasons, as well as to develop a business plan to help ensure success.

Our Bookkeeping Services for Startups
Reconciling Business Expenses
Every successful business entity will have money moving through it – this can be in the forms or sales, salaries and/or expenses and is called cash flow. All cash flow must be reconciled to make sure that it’s correct and that there are no discrepancies.
To do so, this financial data will be compared with what is recorded and what shows on a bank statement, this is called reconciliation. At Walker Hill, our experienced bookkeeper will streamline this task and take care of the time-consuming act of reconciling business finances for you.

Recording all financial transactions
One of the primary responsibilities of bookkeeping is recording all of a business’s financial transactions on a balance sheet. This data allows for reports to be made, which can focus on specific financial aspects of your start-up business. From here, these financial reports can be used for business owners or accountants to analyse where expenses are too high and how revenue can be increased and business structure improved.

Implementing effective bookkeeping software
At Walker Hill, all of our accountants and bookkeepers use a cloud-based program called Xero. This popular accounting software allows for all financial data to be tracked and recorded in an easy to access and understand way. Because it’s cloud based, business owners and bookkeepers can easily access data and communicate with each other about financial matters. It’s also possible to access this information from anywhere with the internet.
How our Specialists Can Help Your Startup Business
Focus on your skills
Starting a company is usually an investment, both personally and financially. Startups are usually run by a small team, and sometimes by just one person. So, a lot of the time staff members will have multiple responsibilities. Bookkeeping can take up a significant amount of time for already busy staff members. Let us focus on the finances leaving you or your staff more time to focus on all of the others departments that are crucial to your startup.
Always meet deadlines
Deadlines are something that startups will come across very regularly. Everything from payroll to taxes to invoices have a due date, and if these deadlines are missed there may be serious repercussions for the company. A bookkeeper can help you keep on top of these financial deadlines, and ensure that everything is completed on time.
Reduce human error
In order to maintain accurate financial records, it’s absolutely imperative that very precise attention to detail is paid. While hiring a specialist may seem like an additional cost, in most cases the conciseness and knowledge that will occur when a proper bookkeeping system is implemented will help rule our costly human error, and actually result in less expenditure.
FAQs
I am an entrepreneur launching my own start-up, can I do my own bookkeeping?
Technically, yes an entrepreneur can do their own bookkeeping. However, starting a company alone is an extremely busy job. Plus, managing financial records must be done with extreme precision and is usually time consuming. Hiring a bookkeeper to take care of this for you will free up your time for other jobs, as well as ensure that the job is done correctly and with great attention to detail.
Which package is best for an entrepreneur?
This is circumstantial, and will largely depend on the season of your business, and your objectives. If you have a startup, you don’t have a large scale and you’re the only employee, you may be able to get away with the basic package. However, if you are planning on growing your startup dramatically, you may need a larger package. If you’re unsure about which package is best for you, you can reach out to our friendly team for help.
