Bookkeeping

Institutional pre close and close bookkeeping processes at FFO prevent accounting and financial problems.

FFO’s bookkeeping service spans far beyond basic transaction coding and reconciliations. We work with our clients to manage all parts of a professional month end close. Journal entries, accrual financials, workpaper roll forwards, AR, AP, payroll, inventory, BS reconciliations, etc.

01 — What We Maintain

Books that do their job, every day.

The detail-level discipline that makes everything downstream possible, from reporting and taxes to audits and transactions.

Cash & Accrual Bookkeeping

Whether you operate on cash, accrual, or need to translate between both, we maintain your books with the precision required for accurate reporting and confident decision-making.

  • Daily transaction entry
  • Cash & accrual basis support
  • Income & expense tracking

Reconciliations

Reconciliation isn't a quarterly cleanup — it's a monthly discipline. We tie every bank, credit card, and balance sheet account to source documents, every cycle without exception.

  • Monthly bank reconciliations
  • Credit card & loan account ties
  • Balance sheet reconciliation

Chart of Accounts & Coding

A well-structured chart of accounts is the difference between data and insight. We design and maintain the categorization framework that makes your financials genuinely useful.

  • Chart of accounts design
  • Consistent transaction coding
  • Classification rules & guidelines

General Ledger Management

The general ledger is the single source of truth. We maintain it with discipline — clean journal entries, proper supporting documentation, and a complete, defensible audit trail.

  • Journal entry preparation
  • Supporting documentation
  • GL accuracy reviews

Catch-Up & Clean-Up

Behind on the books? Inheriting a mess? We specialize in bringing neglected or disorganized records back to current — with the diligence to find what's missing and the discipline to keep it that way.

  • Historical record reconstruction
  • Error correction & cleanup
  • Migration to clean systems

Audit-Ready Records

Books worth trusting are books worth defending. We maintain the documentation, support, and trail that turns audits, due diligence reviews, and lender requests into routine events.

  • Source document retention
  • Transaction-level audit trail
  • Lender & auditor support
02 — Method

The discipline behind clean books.

Bookkeeping isn't complicated — but it is unforgiving. The difference between a clean ledger and a tangled one is method, applied consistently.

01

Record

Every transaction enters the system on a regular cadence — not weeks after the fact, when context has been lost.

02

Classify

Transactions are coded against your chart of accounts with consistency — the same item categorized the same way, every time.

03

Reconcile

Every account is tied to bank statements and supporting documents — monthly, without exception or shortcuts.

04

Substantiate

Every entry is backed by source documentation — receipts, invoices, statements — organized and ready for whoever needs them next.

Let's lay the foundation the right way.
