Here at SPB, our onboarding process for Bookkeeping Clients begins with check-in’s at 30, 60, & 90 days. While we will never know your business as well as you do, we strive to be a close second. Following the initial 90-day onboarding, semi-annual reviews are conducted, and our Bookkeeping Team is always available for unlimited support. In addition to these review sessions, you will receive monthly Profit and Loss statements, Balance Sheets, and our advanced ‘Variance Reports’ which detect any month-to-month anomalies.
Closing your books every month remains a vital part of running a successful business. Doing so will provide visibility into your business’s financial information, explaining in detail what areas need to be improved upon, and is a great practice to stay accountable. This ultimately benefits your decisions about future business ventures, prevents expensive mistakes, and simplifies the tax filing process.
Unfortunately, there are many common bookkeeping mistakes that can happen in a small business. On the bright side, they can often be avoided or mitigated. Read on as we walk through some bookkeeping best practices and red flags.
Improper recording of transactions can have a ripple effect, causing problems all the way down the line. An example is when you miscategorized something on your books, you may not be able to get them to balance. This also trickles down to income tax time because your records won’t accurately reflect items that may be deductible.
Accurate bookkeeping is essential to your company’s long-term viability. We serve a variety of industries and clients, from self-employed home-based business owners, to small and medium-sized businesses. When you outsource your bookkeeping services to SPB, you receive one-on-one personalized service combined with State-of-the-Art Technology!

Not all hero’s wear capes and the people who work here are IT! I have done business with Southern Payroll for several years now and have nothing but fine things to say about the different teams here. They have taken excellent care of my business and I will continue to use them for years to come. They work hard for me to make my life easier and I greatly appreciate them!

I believe we have used every service SPB has to offer. We have used them for Payroll, Taxes, Bookkeeping and general HR questions. I truly believe our small business would not be in a compliant status without them! Jennifer helped us with our payroll although the entire team was there to quickly answer any questions we had at the last minute. Amy did our bookkeeping and was always open to any changes we needed and got back to us within a day of when we reached out. Debbie with the tax team got us the largest tax return we have ever seen and was a joy to work with!!!!! George personally answers any questions we have really fast even when we tell him he doesn't need to look into it till later because it is 7:00 pm on a Friday night. GREAT Company. Amazing People. Very Helpful, Professional, and Friendly.
