How does startup bookkeeping work?
Startups need funding. Professional bookkeeping tracks all of your startup expenses, like hiring employees and renting office space, to start your business on the right foot.
More Startup Services
Giersch Group provides tailored bookkeeping services for startups. Our process has three steps:
- Data Entry: A bookkeeper enters your financial data into our accounting software and digitally records all transactions.
- Analysis: A controller reviews the data for accuracy and identifies all potential issues.
- Financial Reporting: The CFO examines your financial statements to gain insights into profitability, liquidity and overall financial health to chart your strategic course forward.
We help startups establish a solid foundation and provide financial visibility to help them make data-driven decisions.
