What is Bookkeeping?

In bookkeeping, an accountant keeps a comprehensive record of how much your business owes creditors and how much is owed to you. The records of these transactions also indicate how much you have invested in equipment and inventory.

Typically, accountants handling the books take care of accounts receivable and accounts payable, put together financial statements (such as balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements) and take care of bank reconciliation. 

The cost climbs as the volume of work expands. The more transactions and the more statements you expect your accountant to prepare, not to mention how often you want these financial statements whether they be monthly or yearly, the more you'll pay.
