Smart Start
Businesses trust Economic Edge to handle their bookkeeping with precision and integrity. Proper bookkeeping isn’t just number-crunching – it’s the backbone of sound financial management that fuels informed decisions and sustainable growth. In fact, nearly 38% of small businesses fail within the first five years, with poor financial management cited as a leading cause . Our bookkeeping services ensure your financial records are accurate, organized, and up-to-date so you can maintain control of your cash flow, plan confidently for the future, and avoid costly surprises.
Who It’s For
At Economic Edge, we provide bookkeeping for small businesses and mid-sized enterprises that need accurate, timely financial records without the cost of a full in-house team. For many small and mid-sized business owners, bookkeeping can quickly become time-consuming and complex. If you’re spending evenings chasing invoices and reconciling accounts instead of focusing on growth, you’re not alone – entrepreneurs often spend over 20 hours per month on financial tasks like accounting and invoicing . Yet 60% of small business owners feel they don’t have enough knowledge of accounting and finance to manage these tasks confidently .
Our services are ideal for businesses in need of professional financial record-keeping and oversight. Whether you’re a startup, a growing company outgrowing DIY spreadsheets, or an established business without internal accounting staff, our outsourced bookkeeping solution lets you reclaim your time and focus on running your business. You get the benefit of a dedicated bookkeeping team ensuring everything is handled correctly – and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your books are in expert hands.
What’s Included
Our comprehensive bookkeeping services cover all the essential day-to-day financial management tasks your business needs, including:
​
• Transaction Recording: Recording every financial transaction (sales, expenses, purchases, and payments) in the general ledger with proper categorization. We maintain a complete audit trail of all your business’s financial activities, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
• Bank Reconciliation: Regular reconciliation of bank accounts, credit cards, and other accounts to match your books with actual account statements. This process catches errors or discrepancies early and helps prevent fraud by making sure every dollar is accounted for.
• Accounts Payable Management: Managing your outgoing payments and vendor bills. We track due dates, organize bills, and ensure timely, accurate payments to suppliers. By keeping your accounts payable organized, you avoid late fees and preserve strong relationships with vendors.
• Accounts Receivable Management: Handling your customer invoicing and incoming payments. We issue and monitor invoices, record payments, and follow up on overdue accounts. Proactive accounts receivable management improves your cash flow by making sure you get paid on time and have clear visibility into outstanding customer balances.
• Payroll Tracking: Tracking and recording all payroll-related transactions. We manage wage and salary entries, tax withholdings, and benefits deductions, and ensure payroll expenses are properly recorded each period. Your employees get paid correctly and on schedule, and all payroll information is documented for tax and reporting purposes.
• Financial Reporting: Generating clear, timely financial reports that show how your business is performing. We prepare key financial statements – including Profit & Loss (Income Statement), Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement – with full accuracy. These reports provide accurate financial reporting on a monthly or quarterly basis, giving you actionable insights into profitability, expenses, and cash position. We can also produce customized reports and dashboards tailored to your metrics, so you always have a finger on the pulse of your company’s financial health.
Why It Matters
Solid bookkeeping is far more than a clerical task – it is pivotal to your business’s survival and success. Poor financial record-keeping can lead to blind spots and bad decisions. For example, poor cash flow management (often a byproduct of disorganized books) is a factor in 82% of small business failures . Inaccurate records or neglected reconciling can result in missed billing errors, unpaid invoices, or compliance issues that hurt your business. Many companies have learned the hard way that sloppy books can trigger audits or penalties, and even undermine the ability to operate effectively.
By contrast, maintaining proper books delivers tangible benefits. When your financial data is well-managed, you have a clear picture of your business and can act proactively. One study found that companies outsourcing their accounting functions see revenue grow 28% faster on average than those handling it in-house – a testament to the efficiency and focus gained by entrusting experts. Moreover, banks and investors place a premium on trust and transparency; having clean, professional records boosts your credibility. Businesses with professional accounting support are twice as likely to secure funding or capital investment , underlining how accurate financial reporting builds confidence. In short, good bookkeeping gives you reliable information to drive strategy, ensures you stay compliant with tax and regulatory requirements, and helps you avoid the pitfalls that hinder so many small businesses.
