If you have a hard time finding or keeping a bookkeeper or are not satisfied with the performance of your bookkeeper, here are some tips that guarantee getting the most out of your bookkeeper.

What you should expect from your bookkeeper:

  • Up-to-date financial information
  • Forward-thinking advice
  • Collaborative assistance
  • Cost savings
  • Being an essential part of your business

Business Owner's Role:

  • Set priorities each month, week and even day if necessary

  • Respond quickly to your bookkeeper’s questions 
  • Meet often 
  • Be specific about what reports you want to see and when
  • Mandate Assistance/Training
  • Share your goals and challenges

As a business owner, if you follow these suggestions, you should be well on your way to increased profitability.
