Frequently Asked Questions
A bookkeeper records day-to-day financial transactions, reconciles accounts, and ensures your books are accurate. A CPA (Certified Public Accountant) can analyze your financials, provide strategic advice, and assist with tax planning and compliance. At Mako, we offer both—daily accuracy and high-level financial insight.
Ideally, bookkeeping should be done weekly or monthly. Timely updates help you spot cash flow issues early, avoid tax surprises, and make more confident decisions.
We work with industry-standard tools like QuickBooks Online, Xero, and NetSuite, depending on your business size and workflow. We also help set up and train you or your team on whichever platform fits best.
