-
What’s the difference between a CPA and a bookkeeper?
A CPA (Certified Public Accountant) typically handles tax filing, audits, and higher-level financial planning. A bookkeeper, on the other hand, works with you month after month to track income and expenses, manage invoices, reconcile accounts, and keep your books organized
When your books are done right all year, your CPA can focus on strategy instead of cleanup.
