Business Details
We have over 20 years of experience as professional bookkeepers and income tax preparers serving clients in Northern California. We started our home-based bookkeeping business to fill the gap we experienced when reliable internet accounting information was scarce. We compiled valuable accounting resources from libraries and the internet to create a comprehensive reference for ourselves and others. We built Bookkeeping-Basics.net to share those resources and help business owners avoid the same struggles we faced. We provide clear, step-by-step Bookkeeping 101 guides that explain setting up a chart of accounts, balance sheets, and profit and loss statements.
We offer a library of free accounting forms, Excel and QuickBooks templates to simplify tax preparation and record-keeping. We maintain an extensive glossary of accounting definitions searchable by letter or keyword for quick reference. We publish regular bookkeeping articles covering topics such as home-based business structures, deductible expenses, and estimated tax payments. We emphasize ongoing, reliable help and accounting tips so clients can continuously improve their financial practices. We are committed to professional standards, transparency, and client satisfaction in every resource we provide.
