NYC bookkeeper FAQs

What is the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant in New York City?

In NYC's complex financial landscape, bookkeepers and accountants fill distinct roles.

A bookkeeper manages your daily financial records. They are foundational, handling data entry, bank reconciliation, accounts payable/receivable, and payroll, including NY State and NYC tax withholdings.

An accountant acts as a financial strategist. They analyze the bookkeeper's data to prepare financial statements, provide business advice, and, crucially, handle tax planning and preparation for federal, state, and specific NYC taxes (e.g., General Corporation Tax, Commercial Rent Tax).

When should I hire a bookkeeper?

It's time to hire a bookkeeper when:

  • You are spending more than a few hours each month on bookkeeping tasks yourself.
  • Your financial records are falling behind or becoming disorganized.
  • You are not confident in the accuracy of your financial reports.
  • You are preparing to apply for a loan or seek investment.
  • Your business is growing, and the number of transactions is becoming overwhelming.
  • You need to focus your time on growing the business rather than on administrative tasks.
