Frequently asked questions

Nearly all businesses can take advantage of a remote bookkeeper. Most of the work a bookkeeper does can be completed using a computer and internet connection, which means your bookkeeper can easily operate from anywhere in the country. You’ll just need to take the required steps to grant the remote bookkeeper access to any accounts or data they need to operate.

Remote bookkeeping services can provide huge cost savings for small businesses. With a remote bookkeeper, you can save by not paying a salary, taxes, office supplies, and equipment costs you’d normally spend on an in-person bookkeeper.

Also, Remote Quality Bookkeeping employs experienced remote accountants who understand the unique needs of small businesses and franchises. They will ensure that everything is done correctly and can often manage your books in less time than someone can from your office.

If you currently handle your business’s bookkeeping on your own, you may worry about relinquishing control to someone else. However, a good remote bookkeeper will establish a solid communication plan from the beginning so you always feel involved and aren’t blindsided.

In many cases, remote bookkeeping services help you cut down on financial errors and ensure that everything meets necessary rules and regulations. These experts will also take necessary steps to ensure your data remains safe and confidential.

Most remote bookkeepers focus on the day-to-day aspects of your business’s finances. They know what you need to do to keep the IRS and other government entities happy, and they work alongside your CPA or tax preparer to ensure that your taxes are filed correctly year after year. If your books are being maintained correctly, then there’s very little left to do when it’s time to file taxes.

While we are suited for that offering, we do not keep up with the certifications and changes to the tax laws. We focus on providing excellent bookkeeping, payroll, and HR services, then partner with CPAs who can provide tax services for you. In 25 years of service, we have never regretted the relationships we have formed with numerous CPA firms.
