How to Find the Right Bookkeeper

Whether you own a small business or a major corporation, you are going to need a bookkeeper to keep your records and your finances straight. While you might think that all you have to do is find someone with experience at bookkeeping, it’s actually a little more complicated than that. Finding the right bookkeeper takes work and know-how when it comes to what to look for.

For starters, you definitely want to hire someone who is a good communicator. You need a bookkeeper who can speak to you in a way you can understand without talking down to you. Likewise, the bookkeeper you hire should be able to understand your needs and to meet them with ease.

You’ll also need a bookkeeper who has all of the necessary skills to do the job. You want to hire one person to take care of all of your financial and record-keeping needs, so it makes sense that you would want to hire someone who can handle a wide range of tasks. At a bare minimum, your bookkeeper should be able to:

l  Reconcile bank statements                            

l  Send and track invoices
l  Take payments
l  Process payroll
l  Manage accounts receivable and accounts payable listings


If you can keep these things in mind as you search for a bookkeeper and commit yourself to being selective and discerning, there’s no reason you can’t hire a great bookkeeper.
