4 ways to spot a great bookkeeper
-
They are organised and process orientated
A good bookkeeper should understand your industry, business processes and your customers.
They should demonstrate an interest in streamlining your financials so that you always have current and accurate financial data at your fingertips.
-
They are ethical and trusted
These two things are important for any service provider you engage but especially for those who are handling your financials and possibly your bank accounts.
Work with a bookkeeper that has a strong established reputation in the local area.
-
They are tech savvy
Gone are the days of shoe-boxes and excel spreadsheets for managing your accounts. And you might want to get worried if a bookkeeper is still suggesting this.
A modern-day bookkeeper will be using a cloud-based solution meaning your transactions should be automated and updated in real-time.
These solutions also have the benefit of reducing the time and cost associated with the bookkeeping function.
-
They are excellent communicators
Communication skills are very important in any lasting professional relationship.
You and your bookkeeper should be able to “connect” to ensure expectations are being met on both sides.
It’s important you explain and communicate in terms of:
- How often transactions are updated
- How frequently you meet face to face; and
- What information you need to review in order to make important decisions in your business
