We strive to make the tax planning process as straightforward as possible and reduce the complicated elements to achieve a clearly segmented understandable tax plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most commonly asked questions we get about bookkeeping.
What’s the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?
While bookkeeping and accounting go hand in hand, they are not the same thing. Bookkeeping keeps a record of financial transactions, whereas accounting is responsible for analyzing, interpreting and summarizing financial data.
At Beck Ltd., we offer both! We can work on all your accounting needs and keep up with your bookkeeping responsibilities throughout the year.

Why is bookkeeping important for small businesses?
There are a few key benefits of bookkeeping for small businesses. Mainly, bookkeeping allows you to keep your books up-to-date which is crucial in cases where your business is audited. Bookkeeping also makes it easier for accountants to analyze and plan financial strategies. As well, it saves time during tax season since everything is updated throughout the year!
