What is bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping is the form of accounting that focuses on the day-to-day recording and tracking of financial activity. It primarily includes proper posting of financial transactions and account reconciliations. Depending on the client, it might also include work like historical transaction review/reclassification, and detailed analysis of specific income or expense categories over time.

Are you a CPA?

No, I am not a CPA and I do not offer CPA services. I offer bookkeeping services!

WHO CAN DO YOUR ACCOUNTING IN QUICKBOOKS ONLINE?

You

You can keep doing the work yourself ... but ... how high is the opportunity cost of doing so?

Could your business make more money if you redirected the time you spend on bookkeeping toward attracting new customers?

Would you be able to make more beneficial decisions for your business if your books were being professionally maintained?

These questions are worth considering if you are currently doing your own bookkeeping work.

What are your bookkeeping options?

An Employee

The initial "sticker price" of an employee may appear to be advantage because some of the actual costs of employees are hidden. Less visible costs include payroll taxes and any company benefits like paid holidays/sick time, etc. Employees also bring with them legal compliance issues and complexities (Workman’s Comp, Unemployment Insurance, etc.). Other costs and risks are even harder to quantify, such as employee underperformance or the need for continual outlays of managerial time in training and guidance.

A CPA

A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) can be an excellent resource for tax prep, advising on complex business decisions, and reviewing corporate financial statements at year end. At rates of $100-$200/hour and up, however, CPAs are a pricey option for general bookkeeping throughout the year.

VIRTUAL BOOKKEEPING SERVICES

WHY WOULD YOU NEED VIRTUAL BOOKKEEPING?

Virtual bookkeeping is no different than regular bookkeeping. Only difference is that we access your bookkeeping software remotely or “virtually” over the Internet. The bookkeeper providing such services is referred to as a virtual bookkeeper.

A virtual bookkeeper can update your bookkeeping software hosted online, on a desktop within your premises or at a third party. We never have to step foot into your office and can do the work from anywhere in the world. As a result, virtual bookkeeping offers significant potential to drastically improve the quality, focus and cost associated with bookkeeping.

Focus – Since virtual bookkeepers never have to travel, we can support bookkeeping for multiple businesses. This allows us to focus on what we do best.

Unlike in-house bookkeepers, who have to be jack-of-all-trades to justify their pay, there is little reason for our virtual bookkeepers to perform trades other than bookkeeping. We can afford to be the master of just one trade and one trade only. We have chosen to focus even more and specialize on just one software tool i.e. QuickBooks.

Virtual bookkeeping is great for small businesses that need to improve quality sharpen focus and reduce overhead costs for bookkeeping. Virtual bookkeeping also takes a mundane and labor intensive task such as bookkeeping off the plates of business owners allowing them to focus on their company’s core competencies.
