Caretaker of your Business’ Books
Any orchardist will tell you the most productive trees are not always the most luscious; full of branches going every which way and covered in vibrant green leaves. It is a tree that is well manicured, with clean soil and water, and one that is well tended to which will produce a delicious and bountiful harvest. It takes time and dedication, similar to owning and growing your business. The branches and the vines are your daily activities and transactions. The soil and water, the givers of life and growth, are your customers and long-term investments. The harvest represents your prosperity.
The health of your business is revealed within your financial books. Without proper maintenance and upkeep it is hard to determine if your business is producing fruit from all your labors, or if it merely has the appearance of being successful. This is where the vine keeper comes in, or in your case, the bookkeeper. Based on grounded fundamentals, Fig Tree Bookkeeping will create order within your books regardless of what business sector you are in. I will simplify your ability to see the overall financial health of your business. I aim to alleviate the tedious task of keeping well organized and balanced books, and to allow you to focus on the things you enjoy most about running your own business.
Fig Tree Bookkeeping tends to your books so you can tend to your business.
“Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.” John 15:2
What I Do
Comprehensive Evaluation
We must first know where we are at to know how to get to where we are going. When I assess your unique situation I take into account the aspirations you have for yourself and your business to build a plan specific to your needs. Together we can develop a course of action to get your books in order and keep them there.
Clean Up
A distinctly neat set of books is essentially the pruning of your tree, allowing for more fruit to grow. I will do the work to get your books organized and clean. My ultimate aim is to present you with a clearer understanding of the cash flows within your business, in addition to helping prepare for your end of year responsibilities.
Upkeep
Depending on your needs, I can provide on going services on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis. Keeping your books tidy and efficient will help you in making long and short-term financial decisions by providing you a straightforward view of your business’ profitability. My main goal is to present you with the ability to focus on your favorite part of growing your business.
