I have had many clients tell me they needed help with taxes but not have what they needed. The reason they don’t have what they need is because they have faulty bookkeeping. Back in the day bookkeeping was exactly that keeping books. Today with all of our amazing software (my favourite is QuickBooks online), bookkeeping is a lot simpler and less of a headache. That being said there is honestly no reason to have faulty books.
With so many options (including QuickBooks Desktop through an accountant. Which does not cost the company additional fees) you can get your books done by a professional for 50-200 bucks a month to perfection (depending on the size of the business and how many transactions you have etc.). And must I add you save a yourself a huge headache come tax time.
If you are starting your business you should make a one-time appointment to go over everything prior for your particular situation. Why? To save yourself the stress and headache and you can be like me getting your taxes done as soon as the season starts-get it over with (and possibly a refund) and be cleared till next year.
Be Proactive! It feels great
