Just started a bookkeeping business as well, finished my online training about 2 weeks ago, I’m ready for clients but not exactly sure what I’m doing lol. I know how to do the things, but when it comes to advising clients in month to month reports, I’m not exactly sure what to do. Obviously I know we need to keep profits positive, but there are certain nuances regarding cash flows that I just am not confident in understanding w/o some experience firsthand. Ty so much for this channel, just found it and I look forward to learning more from an experienced professional such as yourself @FinePoints!
I'm a new bookkeeper working for my families business. I always second guess myself and if I'm covering all the basis. This video was so much reassurance that I do know what I'm doing 😅 thank you so much for the video!
I am glad I stumbled upon your videos, you make this process so simple. I am still trying to get my first client, but I have learned so much from your material that I am confident that I am ready.
Hi there!. I just got a BA in finance. 3 years ago a was diagnose with kidney failure. I had a good paying job but they let me go due to changes in the industry after Covid. I refuse to collect dissability at my 51 year of age. I finished my degree 4 month ago. I am taking a bookkeepng certification, but is dificult to put knoledge into a real business scenario. Please help me get in the right track. Thanks and God Bless You.
I think so! I haven't studied Profit First in detail, but I think it should work with normal bookkeeping. There may be additional steps to add the get $ where you want it for Profit First, but the basics should be the same. I think there are people certified in that system that you can check with to be sure.
The bank statement is used as the "true" data, so I am making QB match that. So, it is up to me as the bookkeeper to find the issue--where QB differs from the bank. This could be a check put in wrong (and not matched by QB), a duplicate transaction, an invoice payment applied to the wrong thing, etc. etc. So, the client will typically never hear from me about differences in the reconciliation--I fix it before I send them reports. Let me know if that makes sense, or if you have other questions!

Can this apply with profit first method
I think so! I haven't studied Profit First in detail, but I think it should work with normal bookkeeping. There may be additional steps to add the get $ where you want it for Profit First, but the basics should be the same. I think there are people certified in that system that you can check with to be sure.
Hi,
I have a question.
If you find any differences during reconciliation, how you handle that with client ?
The bank statement is used as the "true" data, so I am making QB match that. So, it is up to me as the bookkeeper to find the issue--where QB differs from the bank. This could be a check put in wrong (and not matched by QB), a duplicate transaction, an invoice payment applied to the wrong thing, etc. etc. So, the client will typically never hear from me about differences in the reconciliation--I fix it before I send them reports. Let me know if that makes sense, or if you have other questions!
