Look at you! You’ve come this far and your dream of building a successful business looks right on course! The enterprise is glowing and growing.
However, there is one thing you aren’t quite sure of — the state of your books.
You’re not alone. Understandably, many small businesses meet themselves in such circumstances mainly due to expensive and inefficient in-house bookkeepers. (or thinking they can do everything themselves!)
We’re here to talk about the solution: virtual bookkeeping and the many benefits it brings.
So, What is Virtual Bookkeeping?
In this era of digitization, almost everything can be provided via the internet. Like many, a virtual bookkeeper is someone who provides their services remotely. They use software tools to deliver top-notch bookkeeping services that are up-to-date and accurate to enable you to make informed decisions for your business. Just like in-house bookkeepers, virtual bookkeepers can provide all services ranging from transactions, payments, and reconciliations of bank and credit card statements.
Here are the top reasons for hiring virtual bookkeepers:
- Economical
As a business owner, you’re always looking for ways to cut your overhead costs in order to make a profit. When hiring a new employee, you must set up certain things in an office, such as a desk, computer, and other tools. However, when you hire a remote bookkeeper, the only thing you need to purchase is probably online software and cloud space for files. - Up-to-date Books
Cloud accounting software allows you to complete sales invoicing in the same place where your expenses, statements, receipts, and invoices are in real-time, allowing your books to always be up to date. - Error-free Financial Information
While bookkeeping may be a simple task, it is not easy or quick and requires someone with experience to complete it correctly. Remote or paperless bookkeeping, when done by a knowledgeable professional, significantly reduces the chances of errors during data entry. - User-friendly Technology
We use programs that are easy for you to work with. We use HubDoc for receipt/invoice scanning, Xero, Sage, or QuickBooks Online for accounting, and WagePoint or QuickBooks Online for payroll. We work with many different industry-specific sales software, including, but not limited to; DaySmart, MindBody, Jane, Zenoti, AroFlo, and Mitchell1.
Edgeline Business Services has continued to help businesses achieve accurate and efficient accounting practices. Our virtual bookkeepers are proactively trained to use the latest technology and skills to create a unique, tailored solution that meets your specific business needs.
