Outsourcing

Most small to middle-sized businesses choose to outsource their bookkeeping for several primary reasons:

  • You save money and time
  • You don’t want the hassle of hiring, training and bookkeeper turnover
  • You want the advantage of tax savings

Take a moment to review our comparative chart and see for yourselves the benefits for outsourcing your bookkeeping to certified QuickBooks® ProAdvisors over hiring an internal bookkeeper.

  Internal Bookkeeper Outsourcing Bookkeeping
Payment
Salary and Benefits must be paid whether or not work is being accomplished. You are buying services, not hours. Pay for time actually working on accounts on an hourly or transaction basis.
Availability
If accounting is not a core competency for you, there is no replacement when the bookkeeper is sick. There is always a person on staff to keep your books
up-to-date.
Relationship
Employer-employee personal relationships can create emotional attachment that often detracts from proper professional management. Professional relationship between two companies brings the trust of an employee, but employee personal problems do not interfere.
Turnover
Bookkeepers often gain experience and move on to work for another company. The outsourcing company continually is motivated
to work hard and keep their client’s business.
Time and Resources
Employee supervision, use of your office space and computer. Frees up focus from financials to focus on business strategy and goals.
Knowledge
Rely on one employee who may have limited training to keep your books and financials in order. More training of employees. You can tap into the resources and expertise of a full accounting firm.
Information Safety
Rely on your computer and boxes of papers to save your bookkeeping. Access to system back-up on and off-site, electronic document storage capabilities.
