FAQ

Bookkeeping

Do I need a bookkeeper if my business is small or just starting?

Short answer: yes — it's usually cheaper to do it right early than fix it later.

Many business owners handle their own books at the start, only to need a full cleanup later. That cleanup almost always costs more than setting up a clean system from day one.

Even with low transaction volume, working with a financial partner means:

A solid financial foundation
Staying compliant and avoiding costly mistakes
Books that are ready for tax filing.

Getting the fundamentals right early gives you a structure you can rely on as your business grows.

Should my books be cash or accrual?

Most businesses start on cash — but accrual becomes important as complexity increases.

Cash basis works for straightforward tax reporting. Accrual accounting gives a more accurate view by matching revenue and expenses to when they occur.

If your business requires accrual reporting, it’s essential. Otherwise, we’ll guide you to the right approach and build a system that supports your needs.

Should I outsource or hire in-house accounting?

For most businesses, outsourcing is more efficient and reliable.

Hiring internally requires recruiting, training, and oversight — and often leads to inconsistent outcomes.

Working with Kafoo gives you experienced financial oversight and proven systems without the added cost and management burden.

What’s included in your bookkeeping services?

Our bookkeeping is built around accuracy, consistency, and tax readiness.

We handle transaction categorization, reconciliations, and monthly financial statements — income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow.

We also manage month-end and year-end close, maintain a clean general ledger, and ensure your books are ready for tax filing, including 1099 preparation.

How often will my books be reconciled?

Monthly is the standard baseline.

Once documentation is provided, we typically update your books within a few business days, so you always have current financial data.

For lower-volume businesses, a different cadence may be appropriate. We’ll align the schedule to your needs while maintaining consistency.

Can you work with my current accounting software?

Yes — and we’ll make sure you’re using the right system.

We specialize in QuickBooks Online and Xero. If you’re on desktop or another platform, we’ll evaluate whether it’s supporting your business effectively and recommend changes if needed.

How do you ensure accuracy?

Accuracy comes from process, not just people.

We use structured workflows, regular reconciliations, and system-based controls to maintain clean financials.

Combined with experienced oversight and clear communication, this ensures your data is reliable and ready for reporting and tax filing.

What kind of support is available if I have questions?

You work with a team that understands your financials.

We don’t just maintain records — we help you understand what’s happening and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

For deeper strategic guidance, advisory services are available separately.

What happens as my business grows?

Your bookkeeping scales with you.

As complexity increases, we expand reporting and support to match your needs — so your financial systems remain accurate and dependable.

Can you help me prepare for tax season?

Yes — and it’s significantly smoother when your books are clean.

We deliver tax-ready financials at year-end and coordinate with filing to reduce errors, delays, and surprises.

What does pricing look like?

Flat-rate, monthly, and based on complexity.

Pricing is tailored to your business using prior-year revenue and operational complexity as a baseline.

No long-term contracts — services run month-to-month.

Tax Filing & Compliance FAQs

What types of tax returns does Kafoo prepare?

We handle business and individual filings across all major entity types.

That includes S-corps, partnerships, C-corps, sole proprietors, and personal returns — along with multi-state filings when applicable.

When are returns due, and can you file an extension?

Yes — and extensions are a normal part of the process.

Deadlines vary by entity type. Extensions give more time to file, but not more time to pay.

We manage timelines proactively to keep everything compliant.

How do estimated tax payments work?

Most business owners need to make quarterly payments.

We calculate these based on actual performance — not just last year’s numbers — so you avoid underpayment penalties or overpaying unnecessarily.

What’s the relationship between my books and my tax return?

Your tax return is built on your books.

If your financials are inaccurate or incomplete, your return will reflect that.

Clean bookkeeping ensures accurate, defensible filings.

What happens if I receive a notice?

Most notices are routine — and manageable.

Send it to us. We’ll review it and respond on your behalf.

Can you help with unfiled returns or back taxes?

Yes — and the goal is to get you back on track quickly.

We’ll prepare missing returns and work with tax authorities to resolve balances and penalties.

Do I need to file in multiple states?

If you have nexus, yes.

We evaluate your operations and revenue to determine where you’re required to file — so you stay compliant without overfiling.

Can Kafoo handle all filings?

Yes — everything is handled in-house.

You work with one team that manages your full tax footprint, eliminating coordination issues.
