Note: It's important to keep detailed and accurate records of your business expenses for claiming tax deductions. You should consult the advice of a professional bookkeeper or tax advisor to know exactly what you can claim according to the tax laws in your country.
A bookkeeper can significantly streamline the payroll and invoicing processes for your roofing company. Firstly, they can help ensure that all your employees' salaries, allowances, and deductions are accurately recorded and paid in a timely manner. This not only reduces errors but also ensures compliance with labor laws and IRS regulations.
On the invoicing side, a bookkeeper can accurately track and record all business transactions related to customer billing and payments. They can issue timely and professional invoices to your customers, keep an eye on upcoming payments, and follow up on any late or outstanding invoices. This helps to maintain a healthy cash flow and allows you to focus on running your business, instead of worrying about financial paperwork.
In essence, a bookkeeper acts as a valuable ally, lending significant financial management expertise to your roofing business and allowing you to focus on your core operations.

Nope! All bookkeeping is completed in-house.
Your bookkeeper will be your main point of contact, but at times you might hear from another member of your team. This is usually when your bookkeeper goes on vacation, is sick, or otherwise unavailable.
We handle the bookkeeping for you but sometimes we’ll need your input, especially at year-end. On average, expect to spend 15 minutes each month answering questions for your bookkeeper, or uploading supporting docs.
