What Does a Bookkeeper Do?

Records and organises a business's day-to-day financial transactions accurately.

A bookkeeper handles the everyday financial records — logging income and expenses, reconciling accounts, processing invoices, and keeping the books tidy so an accountant or owner can rely on them. Accuracy and consistency are everything.

Bookkeeping is one of the most remote- and freelance-friendly finance roles, done entirely through cloud accounting software. It is also a common entry point into finance.
