Is your current bookkeeper always available when you need her? One concern business owners have when they consider outsourcing accounting functions for their company is that the bookkeeper may not be reachable when someone in the company has a question. But look at this situation another way.
If you currently have your office manager, administrative assistant, or someone else in your office who just “happens to know QuickBooks” doing your accounting, your bookkeeper may not be available all the time. She might be out to lunch. Or, if she’s in the office, she might be doing tasks related to her primary job function that you don’t want to pull her away from just so you can find out, for instance, if one of your key suppliers was paid on time.
If you currently work with someone who runs an accounting business from her home, you never know where your bookkeeper might be at any given time. Picking up the kids? At a school play? Or actually working?
Outsourcing Accounting: Bookkeeping When You Need It
On the other hand, if you use an accounting business with an infrastructure that’s run like a business—not a hobby or a part-time job—your bookkeeper will be available between the hours of 8 and 5 p.m. everyday. Yes, that happens to coincide with normal business hours.
Our bookkeepers communicate via email, instant messenger and, when necessary, telephone, to provide the level of service you need to stay informed about your company’s financial records.
Technology to Keep You Connected With Your Accounting Records
Through QuickBooks “in-the-cloud” bookkeeping solutions, you can also access your financial records at any time, night or day, from any computer or tablet with Internet access. Your bookkeeper will take time, when you open your account with us, to train you in the basics that you need to know to stay informed and feel more in control of your company than ever before.
