Bookkeeping Services
At DMC Systems Group we like to think that bookkeeping is a very important means
to an end – that is, growing the business. The bookkeeping function – the proper
and timely recording of financial transactions – is a major part of the accounting
process as a whole. Accounting, in general, uses bookkeeping information in order
to make business decisions. Accounting should be meaningful and timely. DMC Systems
Group, Ltd is in the business of helping clients understand and use accounting and
bookkeeping information to help grow their businesses.
DMC Systems Group provides regular (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly) bookkeeping assistance
based on your individual or company needs. Our services are most often on-site,
but we also service clients remotely. We also offer temporary, transitional bookkeeping
services during vacation, leave of absence or other employee absences. Our services
include:
- Transitional Assistance (Short- and long-term)
- Bank Reconciliations
- Accounts Payable
- Accounts Receivable
- Payroll
- Filing
-
Transitional Assistance (Short- and long-term)
The difference between DMC and the typical temporary placement agency is, in one
word, consistency. We strive to build long-term relationships with our clients.
This consistency allows us to build trust and a solid understanding of the client’s
business transactions. Unlike the temporary placement agency, we frequently cross-train
our staff (to learn about other clients' work) in order to ensure that we can substitute
when one of our staff is out on vacation, for instance.

Bank Reconciliations
Our bank reconciliation services generally fall into three primary categories:
- monthly, ongoing;
- backlog bank reconciliations;
- troubleshooting,
one-time reconciliations
-
Accounts Payable
Vendor maintenance, bill entry, and payments are some of the most common of our
bookkeeping services. We service QuickBooks, MYOB, Deltek Vision, Deltek
Advantage, Axium Ajera, Sage Master Builder, and MS Dynamics. We have also serviced
software that is not on this list; we are able to do this because our staff has
vast bookkeeping and accounting experience and is capable of learning new software
rapidly.
-
Accounts Receivable
Client maintenance, invoice entry (billing), cash receipts, and collections are
more of our most common bookkeeping services. Our core software packages are the
same as with our Accounts Payable.
-
Payroll
We can help train staff to set-up and maintain in-house payroll. Or, we can come
on site to process payroll for you with one of our core software packages. For those
who use an outside payroll service, we can assist you with setting up your payroll
entries for each payroll period. Also, payroll reconciliations are a very common,
and important, service that we provide to many clients on a regular basis (usually
quarterly and yearly to ensure financial statement accuracy). The payroll reconciliation
ensures that the wage information in the accounting system matches what has been
reported on government forms such as 941 and W2, for example.
-
Filing
Proper filing is crucial to maintaining a detailed audit trail, which is a key component
to internal controls. We provide ongoing and transitional assistance with regular
accounting filing tasks such as check filing, invoice and bill filing, project record
management, and other functions.
Understanding Bookkeeping.
Setting up a new accounting system or modifying an existing one requires expertise
going far beyond basic transactional knowledge. Businesses must determine at the
outset who the users of the accounting information will be; will they be internal
managers, tax preparers, owners, stockholders or creditors? There are distinct differences
between internal and external reporting requirements only experienced accounting
staff will understand.
For instance, managers may be interested in salary and job costing information,
whereas banks may be interested in company financial strength (indicated by financial
ratios such as debt to equity) in order to approve a capital improvement loan.
