# What does a bookkeeper do for a client?

A bookkeeper keeps a client's financial records organised and up to date.

Typical work may include recording invoices and expenses, processing bank transactions, reconciling accounts, reviewing missing documents and preparing records for VAT or year-end reporting.

The exact responsibilities depend on the agreed service and the bookkeeper's competence and registrations.
