At its core, bookkeeping is about keeping score in your business.
The financial reporting that a bookkeeper puts together for their clients is the scoreboard that shows if a business is doing the right things from both a sales and operations perspective to keep it profitable and thriving. But what if things aren't looking as good as you want them to on your financial reports?
