Whether you get paid by invoice, POS or mobile payment processor, the BKE team will ensure all your transactions are properly accounted for. We’ll set you up with cloud accounting software that accurately tracks the revenue collected through each payment method. We can also advise you on new payment and POS systems that work for your business – and your wallet!
Insight into your revenue, at all times
One of the challenges associated with accepting multiple payment methods is dealing with the different ways money shows up in your bank account (timing discrepancies, partial payments, etc.) The BKE bookkeeping team will reconcile your bank records to your accounting software weekly or monthly depending on your needs. You’ll always know which transactions have cleared and which ones are still pending.
Online document management
Regular reports highlighting your business performance
Accounting reports are needed to file taxes and apply for financing. They’re also full of insights into how well your business is performing. BKE will provide you an income statement, balance sheet and statement of cashflows every month so you can learn what you’re doing right and what can be improved.

Expense Management
When you run a business, you and your staff spend money and incur costs that need to be reimbursed and categorized correctly.
BookKeeping Express (BKE) uses a combination of expert bookkeepers and modern accounting software, mobile applications and expense management tools to handle your expenses. You’ll have the peace of mind that every expense is tracked, categorized and reported accurately.
No more paper receipts
Holding onto receipts has long been a pain for the average business owner. Receipts get lost or damaged and when tax time comes, it’s hard to remember why the purchase was made. Now, just take a picture of receipts on your phone and BKE will categorize the expense in your accounting software, store the receipt image online, and make sure everything ties back to your business bank account.
Tracking miles to a T
Travel costs are another expense category that has traditionally been a hassle to manage. Miles traveled must be properly tracked in order to create an accurate expense claim. As with receipt management, mobile apps have removed the difficulty of tracking mileage. Using GPS on your smartphone, BKE will help your staff automatically track and report the exact number of miles traveled and ensure the expense claim is processed and categorized correctly.
Online document management
Audits are rare but do happen. In case one occurs, it’s crucial to have access to all your historical business records. We’ll organize and store all your documents online so they’re out of your way but always within reach.
