When should you hire a Bookkeeper?

Why do you need a bookkeeper anyways?
If you've started a new business and are unsure of any of the following, it might be important to get a Bookkeeper:
  • Chart of Accounts
  • Bank Reconciliation
  • Invoices
  • Customer Payments
  • Deposits
  • Accounts Payable/Receivable
The problem that most new businesses face is assuming that they can figure out how to run and manage all of their files. Usually? The system gets the better of you and you find yourself seeking help anyway. It might be better to just hire one off the get go and learn the system.

What's the advantage of a Bookkeeper?
  • Credibility
  • Accountant Go Between
  • Maintaining of your Receipts
  • Bank Statement - Bookkeepers Reconcile your Accounts
  • Time Saving - You now have more time for your business!
If for nothing other than Reconciling your monthly Bank Statements, Bookkeepers are worth the time. Especially when an accountant is more likely to hand your end of the year mess to a Bookkeeper than to try to take the time to sort it out.

While there are nicely labeled apply credits buttons, there are none marked unapply. This is the case for both customers (invoicing) and vendors (paying bills). So here is how it is done: For customers, it is a fairly easy process. Go to the invoice to which the credit was applied. Then click on the "Apply Credits" button. In the lower half of the new window that pops up is a list of Previously Applied Credits. Simply find the one, or ones you wish to unapply and click on the check mark next to it to make the check mark disappear. The credit will no longer be applied or tied to that invoice. For Vendors, i.e. bill payments, it is not as clean and simple. The only way to unapply a credit in such a case is to Delete the credit. You can then ...
