Welcome to my blog! The fist question I would like to address is what is a virtual bookkeeper? All this really means is someone who does bookkeeping through cloud based accounting. Xero and Quickbooks Online are the primary accounting systems that are used today. This makes it possible for bookkeeping to be outsourced. The bookkeeper can connect different apps to your accounting software to make keeping up with your books simple. Receipts can be scanned or photos can be taken to make the communication seamless. I still recommend that you keep track of those receipts in your shoebox. It also allows you to view your account from wherever you are.

If your wondering why or how this would help you? Just after the first of the year, there is always a lot talk about the dreaded visit to the CPA or accountants office. We have all had this anxiety at some point or still have it. There has to be a way to overcome this obstacle, right? It is easy to get confused and and flustered during tax time, especially it you feel like your in it alone.

Managing a business alone has it’s challenges, but then add all the extra work of managing the books and keeping them up to date becomes a nightmare. Bookkeeping can be very time consuming and take you away from the parts of the business you truly love. Most business owners I know would rather be anywhere other than working on their financials.

Doing the books is often over looked and not kept put to date like it should be for your piece of mind and things often times do not get recorded correctly. Outsourcing your bookkeeping is often the easiest and cost effect way to solve this issue. This allows for freedom to spend more time on your business without compromising your financial health. A bookkeeper will also be there to answer any questions and to review your financial health monthly with you.

You shouldn’t have to do it alone.
