The distinction
Bookkeeping, accounting, and where TechBrot fits.
Bookkeeping is the operational recording and organizing of financial transactions — categorizing expenses, reconciling bank and credit accounts, producing monthly financial statements, managing accounts payable and receivable. It’s the foundation everything else is built on.
Accounting is the broader discipline: bookkeeping plus financial analysis, reporting, tax preparation, audit, and strategy. Some accounting functions require licensure — tax filing and IRS representation require a CPA or EA.
TechBrot delivers the operational accounting layer: bookkeeping, QuickBooks management, payroll, and sales tax compliance, plus fractional CFO strategy for growth-stage businesses. We produce CPA-ready books and coordinate directly with your CPA for tax filing and audit. We do not file tax returns or represent clients before the IRS — that’s your CPA’s licensed work. The clean split: TechBrot keeps the books right; your CPA files from them. Most businesses need both. More on the bookkeeper vs accountant question →
