Keep Your Books Accurate and Current

Garcia CPA PLLC provides bookkeeping services for small businesses and professionals in East Elmhurst, New York.

When you run a business in East Elmhurst, staying on top of financial records takes time you may not have. Every transaction, receipt, and invoice needs to be categorized correctly so your books reflect what actually happened during the month. Without accurate records, you lose visibility into cash flow and may face issues during tax season or when applying for financing.

Garcia CPA PLLC offers monthly, quarterly, and annual bookkeeping services that include bank and credit card reconciliations, expense categorization, payroll support, and cash flow tracking. We work with platforms like QuickBooks and Xero to keep your records organized and accessible. Whether you operate a retail shop, service business, or nonprofit in East Elmhurst, we tailor our approach to fit the way your organization handles money.

If your financial records are scattered or months behind, reach out to Garcia CPA PLLC to discuss a bookkeeping plan that works for your business in East Elmhurst.

What Happens When Your Records Are Current

We start by reviewing your chart of accounts and recent transactions to make sure everything is categorized correctly. In East Elmhurst, many small businesses use a mix of cash and card payments, and we reconcile each account to confirm that your records match your bank statements. This work happens on a schedule that fits your reporting needs, whether that means weekly updates or end-of-month close.

Once your books are current, you can pull reports that show exactly where your money is going and how much is available. You will also have clean records ready for tax preparation, loan applications, or meetings with investors. Outsourcing this work means you do not need to hire a full-time bookkeeper or spend evenings trying to balance accounts yourself.

We also track recurring expenses, flag duplicate entries, and note any unusual transactions that need your attention. Our role is to keep the records accurate and give you a clear picture of your business finances without adding to your administrative load. This level of organization supports better planning and reduces the chance of errors that cause problems later.

Business owners often want to know how bookkeeping fits into their existing workflow and what kind of access we need to their accounts. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.

You Probably Have Questions About This Work

We need access to your bank accounts, credit card statements, and any accounting software you currently use. You will also provide receipts or invoices for transactions that need categorization.
What information do you need to start bookkeeping for my business?
That depends on your preference and business volume. Most clients in East Elmhurst choose monthly updates, but we also offer weekly or quarterly schedules depending on how often you need to review reports.
How often will my books be updated?
We start by working backward through your records to reconcile each month and correct any errors. This catchup work takes longer initially, but once your books are current, ongoing maintenance is much faster.
What happens if I have months of unreconciled transactions?
Yes, we can manage payroll processing, including wage calculations, tax withholdings, and quarterly filings. This service integrates with your bookkeeping so all payroll expenses are recorded accurately.
Can you handle payroll as part of bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping maintains your financial records throughout the year, while tax preparation uses those records to file your returns. Accurate bookkeeping makes tax season faster and reduces the chance of missed deductions.
What is the difference between bookkeeping and tax preparation?
