Frequently Asked Questions | JMJ Elite Bookkeeping

Welcome to our FAQ page. Whether you’re a small business owner in Bradenton, a nonprofit in Sarasota, or a professional working remotely in Tampa or beyond, we’re here to bring clarity to your bookkeeping questions.

1. Bookkeeping Basics

Bookkeeping is the foundation of sound financial management. A bookkeeper records daily financial transactions, organizes your finances, and ensures your records are accurate and up to date. While bookkeeping differs from accounting, which interprets financial data for strategic decisions, both are essential. At JMJ Elite Bookkeeping, we use tools like QuickBooks and tailor our cloud-based systems to fit your specific needs, helping businesses stay compliant and financially informed.

2. Services We Offer

We provide a full range of services including monthly bookkeeping, reconciliations, financial reporting, 1099 tracking, QuickBooks support, and catch-up services. Whether you're behind on your books or starting fresh, we offer both one-time cleanups and ongoing monthly support. Every business is unique, so we customize service plans based on your transaction volume, business structure, and goals. Schedule a free consultation to explore the best fit for your needs.
