Many people who have jobs have no idea what goes on behind the scenes of the bookkeeping or accounting department. However it is important to know what is going on because they do the most important job in the company, they do your payroll. All of the money that you make and every tax that is filed and making sure that your paycheck is correct is the job of the bookkeeper. They ensure that your paperwork is done and they calculate you vacation time, your sick pay, and any medical benefits you may have. The best part about the bookkeeping team is that they are able to get you paid on time every week and keep the payroll department moving smoothly.
Another job of the bookkeeper is to record payments the company makes and income the company brings in. They will make sure that the right accounts are credited when monies come in, and they will bill customers to ensure payment is on its way. They manage how those funds are spent as well. They know where it is going, by keeping track of bills paid, sending money to vendors, and taking the money to the bank.
Bookkeepers then ensure that the taxes are paid, and that the clients are recieving their products, they also keep track of any assets that the company has such as equipment and property they have.
