Bookkeeping help is never far away. If you search the internet there are plenty of companies out there that are willing to help you with your books. Just as there are many experience people; there are also inexperienced people who you have to be aware of. Some are just trying to help but there are some who are out to make a few hundred dollars from you.
Always check the person’s background, experience, and ask for references. When you do get references be sure to check at least three of the references. Also, ask questions that you have answers to and compare what you have to how they response to the questions. Difference answers does not mean they are wrong but just that they do things difference. Ask why they answered that way. Compare answer and see of they have reasonable answers.
Have a time schedule as to when you want your reports and ask if they can meet your deadline. Meet with them and see how interested they are in your business. Good, professional persons will be interested in learning as much as they can about your business before they start doing your books. They should setup a least one monthly meeting to review and discuss your financial statements. They should be able to provide solutions to any problem that you have.
