Mobile bookkeeping on my phone2.

A set of daily bookkeeping habits that keep your accounting program current and relevant.My team just this year went through this process: I'd be happy to share my experiences with you.

We've outgrown our existing accountant and need somebody that can handle the various business returns, intermittent bookkeeping, as well as personal returns.If anyone has recommendations for someone in the MD area that could help with this that would be great.

The best thing to do is to hire a good tax accountant, bookkeeper, and attorney (helps if they are also savvy about REI so they can provide that prospective) to make sure you are doing things properly.

I own two businesses and I hired a bookkeeper to work on my books and still have not filed taxes for 2016.

Another few things that come to mind are bookkeeping and keeping track of finances as well as even how you organize the overall business.

My other question is does anyone have any recommendations on a good book to help me learn bookkeeping basics specific to rental properties?

Most will not even do just the bookkeeping for that cheap. 

If your property management company doesn't handle your bookkeeping then you will need to.

That helps for book keeping and Depending on what kind of LLC you have (single member, multi-member, etc) and how you use your LLC for tax declarations, it can lessen the chances of you being audited by the IRS.My rule of thumb is that I don't want to keep enough equity in my LLC to make me a target for a lawsuit.
