Sign into your account5 Things to Look for in a New Remote Bookkeeper
October 31 2012
Guest contributor Kashoo says:
It was hard enough hiring the right person for your bookkeeping needs when you had a stack of 100 resumes to review. Now you've got people spread out across the globe vying for your attention through email marketing, websites, social media... the list goes on. And it's entirely true that when it comes to the physical tasks of bookkeeping, geography doesn't matter much anymore. So with that said, how do you make the right choice in selecting a remote bookkeeper for your business?
To help you navigate, here are a few criteria to consider...
Location, Location, Location
This sounds strange, right? Remote, by definition, means not nearby. But hear me out. In this case, it's not so much where your potential bookkeeper lives, but when they live. Take into account time zones when deciding on a new bookkeeper. If you know you'll need to talk on the phone, or are likely to request a report any given morning on short notice, will they be available (read: awake) when you need them?
References and Reputation
For bookkeepers, it's no longer good enough to include a "references available upon request" note. Your new bookkeeper should have a good track record, and should be able to connect you with their other remote clients.
