No, the dedicated bookkeepers at Bookkeeping Towne will not have access to your money.  We ask for your permission to have read-only access to your bank statements or ask you to provide a copy of the bank statements to a shared folder like DropBox or Google Drive.

We work with many types of small businesses.  We provide bookkeeping for sole proprietors, LLCs (single member & S Corps), Partnerships and corporations.  As we are still accepting all types of small businesses, we specialize in food related industries.  Most of our clients are in the food related businesses, so we have the resources and experience to help the food related businesses. 

While we always love to help businesses get organized and prepared to file their taxes each year, Bookkeeping Towne does not file the individual taxes.  In 2020, we are working with True North Financial Services to help guide you to get this task accomplished.  We will work together with True North Financial Services to get your taxes filed in an accurate & concise manner.  No need to run back & forth with your tax preparer and your bookkeeper.  Have tax questions?  Call 401-23-TOWNE or 1-833-38-TOWNE, then option 3
