Q)
A)

Are you a CPA?
No, I am a certified full-charge bookkeeper. Therefore, my rates are more affordable than a CPA. MostCPA firms bill out their bookkeepers at a much higher rate.

Are you a Certified Quickbooks Pro Advisor?
Not currently, however, I was certified as a Quickbooksz® Pro Advisor in 2005 and 2006. I am planning on renewing my membership in 2010. We are Quickbooks® specialists since I have been working with Quickbooks® since 1994.

Will you come to me or do I have to bring my books to you?
We can always arrange to come to you. We do outside training and bookkeeping on a regular basis. However, we do offer a price deduction if we process your accounting in-house and represent you as “Your Accounting” Department.

Who keeps all the paperwork?
We do! When we process all of your necessary accounting as “Your Accounting” Department, then we keep your accounts payable and accounts receivable files, all financials and checks in-house. We then box it all up in an organized fashion at the year end, and give you the box for storage. It’s that simple.

How does it all work?
As “Your Accounting” department, we always answer our telephone “Accounting.” Therefore, when your customers and vendors call, we can assist them easily while they believe they are calling your business accounting department. This makes you not only look like a larger company, but an organized one. You simply direct callers to “Your Accounting” department and give them our telephone number to handle all your accounting calls. We only charge you when we work on your account, saving you time and money.

Why not hire my own bookkeeper? Wouldn’t it be more cost effective?
Not necessarily. Having staff costs a lot more than their hourly rate. You also would pay for their payroll taxes, workers’ compensation insurance, medical insurance, vacation and sick pay and any other possible benefits. Additionally, confidentiality of handling your financial information and labor disputes are a growing concern. Finally, it is very difficult to find qualified bookkeepers with the goal of keeping your financials organized timely in order to keep your business financially moving ahead.
