Bertelli’s Bookkeeping works with a variety of small businesses, independent contractors, self-employed professionals, and owner-operators who need dependable support keeping their financial records accurate and organized. With more than 10 years of firsthand experience as a trucking owner-operator, I have a strong understanding of the unique bookkeeping needs of transportation professionals, including tracking income, fuel costs, maintenance expenses, equipment purchases, and other business-related expenses.

Whether you are launching a new business, managing an established company, or catching up on overdue records, services can be personalized to fit your business’s specific needs. If you are unsure whether Bertelli’s Bookkeeping is the right fit for your business, I would be happy to discuss your needs during an initial consultation.

Communication can take place through email, phone, or virtual meetings, depending on your needs and preferences. Although services are provided remotely, you will still receive attentive, one-on-one assistance and regular updates about your financial records.

The cost of bookkeeping services depends on your business’s specific needs, transaction volume, number of financial accounts, frequency of service, and the current condition of your records. Because every business is different, Bertelli’s Bookkeeping provides personalized pricing rather than a one-size-fits-all rate.

The right package will depend on factors such as your monthly transaction volume, number of financial accounts, reporting needs, and preferred level of support. During the initial consultation, we will discuss your business and create a service plan that provides the assistance you need without paying for services you do not.

The frequency of updates depends on the specific needs of your business. Financial records may be updated weekly, biweekly, or monthly based on your transaction volume and preferred level of support.

Regardless of the schedule, your income, expenses, accounts, and financial information will be carefully reviewed and organized to help keep your records accurate and current. We will establish a consistent schedule during the onboarding process so you know when your books and financial reports will be updated.

To get started, I will need basic information about your business and access to the financial records necessary to complete your bookkeeping. This may include recent bank and credit card statements, income and expense records, customer invoices, vendor bills, receipts, loan information, and access to your bookkeeping software, if applicable.

The exact information required will depend on the services you need and the current condition of your books. During the initial consultation, we will discuss your business, bookkeeping goals, existing recordkeeping process, and any areas that need attention. I will then provide a clear, customized list of the documents and access needed to begin. All financial information will be handled carefully and shared through secure methods.

The length of the bookkeeping setup process depends on the size and complexity of your business, the services you select, and the condition of your current financial records. For businesses with organized and up-to-date records, the setup process can typically be completed within a few business days after all requested documents and account access have been provided.

If your books require clean-up or catch-up work, the process may take longer. After reviewing your records and discussing your needs, I will provide a clear timeline and keep you updated throughout the process. My goal is to make onboarding as smooth and efficient as possible while ensuring your books are set up accurately from the beginning.

Protecting your financial information is a top priority. I handle all business and financial records with care, professionalism, and confidentiality. Access is limited to the information needed to perform your bookkeeping services, and documents are shared using secure, password-protected systems whenever possible.

I also follow responsible security practices for storing, accessing, and managing your records. During onboarding, we will discuss the safest methods for sharing documents and granting account access. You should never send passwords or highly sensitive financial information through unsecured email or text messages.

You do not necessarily need to use a specific bookkeeping or accounting program before getting started. If you already have a system in place, I can review your current setup and determine whether it supports the bookkeeping services your business needs.

If you are starting fresh or your current system is no longer working well, I can help you identify an appropriate bookkeeping solution based on your business size, transaction volume, and reporting needs. Any software requirements, subscription costs, and account access will be discussed before services begin, so you will know exactly what to expect.

A bookkeeper manages the day-to-day financial records of a business. This typically includes recording and categorizing transactions, tracking income and expenses, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, monitoring invoices and bills, and preparing financial reports. Accurate bookkeeping creates an organized financial foundation and helps business owners understand how their business is performing.

An accountant generally uses those records for higher-level financial work, such as tax planning, tax filing, financial analysis, auditing, and strategic guidance. Some accountants may also provide bookkeeping services, but their primary responsibilities often extend beyond maintaining daily records.

Simply put, a bookkeeper keeps your financial information accurate and organized, while an accountant interprets that information and may provide specialized tax or financial advice. Both can play important roles in helping your business remain financially healthy.
