Why hire a virtual bookkeeper?

• Save time.
  Let’s say you own a landscaping business. You likely spend 40+ hours a week already on “income-producing” activities such as design, collecting materials, driving, and of course the labor involved in completing the project. And if you want to have a life, you may put off your bookkeeping until the end of the month. If you do 20 projects a week, 80 projects a month, then to do your bookkeeping correctly, it may take you 2-3 days to catch up! That’s time you could be using to grow your business, work on marketing efforts, or {gasp} spend time with your family! Why don’t you take those days back and let me take care of estimates, invoicing customers, collecting payments, and keeping your books tidy and headache-free? I promise you’ll love it.
  

• Save money.
  Same scenario. Again, you may spend 2-3 days catching up your books (or more). You could be doing 10-15 more jobs during that time! How much more could you make just by having that time back? Or maybe you’re thinking of hiring a part or full-time employee to do your bookkeeping. Hiring an actual employee has a lot more risk involved, including significant amounts in payroll taxes. Did you know that hiring someone with a salary of $35,000 will actually cost you closer to $45,000 or more? Yikes. That’s $3,750 per month. And I would venture to guess that your employee bookkeeper may have a couple hours of down time here and there…that you happen to be paying for. When you hire me as your virtual bookkeeper, you are only paying for productive hours…and no payroll taxes!
  

• Be informed.
  Not only will you save time and money, but with the help of a virtual bookkeeper, you will be able to see in real-time how your business is doing. You’ll be able to make more informed decisions about business spending, hiring, project workflow, materials, and budgeting!
