    Why is accounting important?

    Accounting tracks all your business activities and assets. Any time you spend, lose or make money, your bookkeeper adds it to the books. Your accountant then builds reports using these numbers. The government requests these reports to calculate how much tax you owe and whether you are exempted from some of it. Mistakes could be costly: the government punishes wrong reports with fines. Not to mention, you probably base your evaluations and plans on the same numbers. So, making sure your accounting is accurate is crucial.

    How much do bookkeeping services cost?

    We have flexible plans depending on the number of transactions your business has. A transaction is any deposit into or withdrawal from the bank. This way you only pay for the real work done.

    What's the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?

    A bookkeeper is an expert responsible for recording and organizing your business financial transactions while an accountant uses the information provided by the bookkeeper to prepare and file statutory returns and give financial and business advice. A bookkeeper can help you carry out some of the functions of an accountant, including preparation of financial statements, provide financial advice, handle tax issues, and more. Accountants charge more than bookkeepers, so it is more cost-effective for small businesses to work with a bookkeeper rather than hire an accountant.

    Should I outsource my Bookkeeping functions or hire an in-house Bookkeeper?

    Outsourcing the function to professionals like OCD Reporting is cheaper than keeping an in-house bookkeeper. It means you won't have to worry about overtime payment, health insurance, training and supervision fee, and other employee-related costs. Also, since our team won't be using your office space and your documents will be stored on our convenient and secured web portal, you won't have to spend money on office maintenance or on purchasing additional computers.
