• Do I need a bookkeeper if I have MJ Kane as my accountant? What's the difference between the two?

  Contrary to popular belief, accountants and bookkeepers perform distinctly different tasks for the businesses they serve. Bookkeepers are responsible for on-going maintenance of their clients’ general ledgers.

  Accountants use the accurate and up-to-date general ledger maintained by the bookkeeper to provide advisory services.
  By having MJ Kane handle your accounts and bookkeeping you’re ensuring you receive financial support from us at every aspect of your business.
