FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?

Bookkeeping is the day-to-day recording and organizing of financial transactions — income, expenses, reconciliation. Accounting builds on that for taxes and strategic decisions. Pay Flow handles the bookkeeping; your CPA handles taxes. Clean books from us makes their job easier and less expensive.

Do I have to switch software?

No. We work with most major accounting software and will keep you on what you're already using if you'd rather not switch. If you're not on anything yet, we'll set up QuickBooks for you the right way from day one.

Do you handle payroll?

Yes — full payroll setup and processing, payroll tax calculations and filings, new hire onboarding, workers' comp coordination, and EDD account setup for California businesses. See payroll services.

Do you work with contractors and construction companies?

Yes — and it's a specialty. Job costing, certified payroll, prevailing wage, and CSLB new contractor setup are services most bookkeepers don't offer. See the contractor services page.

Are you a CPA or tax preparer?

No. Pay Flow is a bookkeeping and QuickBooks setup practice. For tax filing and legal questions, work with your CPA or attorney — we keep your books clean and organized so that work is easier and less costly.
