About Virtual Bookkeeping
What is bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping and accounting aren't the same thing. Bookkeeping is the process of recording financial transactions in a systematic way, while accounting is more analytical and involves making sense of the data recorded. A bookkeeper and accountant work together to minimize your tax liability and present up to date accurate financial data. Both bookkeeping and accounting require strong ethical values to maintain accuracy and transparency in financial records. Redtail specializes in the bookkeeping side of business. In addition, we partner with Certified Public Accountants (CPA's) and Business Analysists for accounting specific projects. We make sure you have the right person who can help your specific needs.
What is virtual bookkeeping?
Like traditional on-site bookkeepers, virtual bookkeepers manage day-to-day financial tasks like recording transactions, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, and processing payroll. The key difference is that a traditional bookkeeper needs to be present in your workplace to carry out these tasks. In contrast, a virtual bookkeeper handles everything remotely using cloud-based software. Virtual bookkeeping is also known as remote or online bookkeeping. Redtail's remote model offers better availability, faster response times, and real-time reporting.

"Book-keeping, while a science, deserves to rank among the fine arts. It challenges the admiration of lovers of the beautiful and true. It cultivates the judicial powers of the mind. It quickens and strengthens the love of justice and equity. It promotes fair dealing among men and women."
