Did You Know?

The average small business owner spends nearly 120 hours per year on bookkeeping and tax preparation tasks alone - time that could be used for growth, innovation, or rest. Outsourcing returns that time to you while ensuring professional precision.

Outsourced Bookkeeping: Why It’s the Smart Move


When you handle bookkeeping yourself, you’re managing everything from bank reconciliation and accounts payable/receivable to general ledger maintenance, financial reporting, and tax prep, all of which Masten Solutions Bookkeeping Services expertly provides. As your business grows, these tasks become more complex and more time-consuming.

What Financial Reports Should You Expect from Your Bookkeeper?


Professional bookkeepers and accountants provide a clear financial picture through structured, timely reporting. At Masten Solutions, every client receives a custom package built around these essential reports:


  1. Profit & Loss Statement (Income Statement): Tracks revenue, expenses, and profit over time to show how your business performs.

  2. Balance Sheet: A snapshot of assets, liabilities, and equity—revealing financial strength.

  3. Cash Flow Statement: Monitors cash movement so you can anticipate and avoid shortfalls.

  4. Accounts Receivable Aging Report: Shows unpaid invoices and collection timelines.

  5. Accounts Payable Aging Report: Details vendor obligations and due dates.

  6. General Ledger: The backbone of accurate bookkeeping, capturing every transaction.

  7. Budget vs. Actual Report: Compares projections to real performance for better planning.

  8. Custom KPI or Management Reports: Tailored to your goals (e.g., margins, revenue by service, or growth trends).


Each report gives small business owners actionable insight helping you stay compliant, identify trends, and make confident financial decisions.
