9 Reasons to use a Virtual Bookkeeping Service
Using a virtual bookkeeping company like Cincinnati’s BookWerksTM for your business’s financial recordkeeping offers a host of advantages, especially in today’s tech-driven and remote-friendly environment.
Here’s why going virtual with your bookkeeping could be a smart move for you:
1. Cost savings
- Lower overhead: Our Cincinnati based virtual bookkeeping services eliminate the need for office space, equipment and other in-house costs.
- Pay-as-you-go pricing: You typically pay for the services you need, avoiding the expense of a full-time employee’s salary, benefits and taxes. We charge a flat monthly fee based on the complexity of your business, so there are never any surprises at the end of the month.
With BookWerksTM, you get friendly Midwest pricing, no matter where you are located.
2. Access to experts in your industry
- Highly-skilled professionals: Virtual bookkeeping companies employ experts who specialize in accounting, ensuring accuracy and regulatory compliance. At BookWerksTM, we can usually pair you with a bookkeeper experienced in your industry.
- Up-to-date knowledge: Our staff members stay current with the latest accounting standards and financial regulations in your field.
3. Advanced technology
- Cloud-based accounting software: Using us as your bookkeeping partner, your financial data is kept securely in the cloud, so you can access it anytime, anywhere. There is no need to purchase and maintaining the licenses of your own software.
- Automation: We automate repetitive tasks like expense categorization and income tracking, which improves efficiency and reduces errors.
4. Flexibility and scalability
- Customized services: Choose the bookkeeper that match your current needs and easily scale up or down as your business evolves.
- Adaptable to seasonal fluctuations: If your business is seasonal, you can adjust the level of service during peak and off-peak periods, never paying for more bookkeeping than you need at any one time.
5. Time savings
- Focus on core activities: Outsourcing bookkeeping frees up you and your team’s time to focus on running and growing your business. While essential for informed decision-making and tax preparations, recording financial transactions does not produce revenue for your business; let a human resource less critical to your day-to-day operations do it!
- Faster processing: Because bookkeeping is all we do; we are usually quicker than in-house employees who only keep the books part-time. Plus, we offer more privacy and security than a member of your staff.
6. Accuracy and compliance
- Reduced risk of errors: Professionals ensure accurate record-keeping, minimizing costly mistakes.
- Ready for tax time: Come February, we will have all the information your CPA needs at our fingertips. Accurate and timely filing ensures compliance and reduces the risk of penalties or audits.
7. Accessibility
- Remote access: With cloud-based tools, you can access your financial data 24/7.
- Real-time updates: Like clockwork, we provide weekly or monthly reports like Profit and Loss Statements, Cash Flow Statements and Balance Sheets, helping you make informed business decisions quickly.
8. Security
- Data protection: We offer more privacy than a member of your staff can provide (and keeping prying eyes off sensitive financials). BookWerksTM uses a secure system to protect your financial information.
- Backup systems: We have a robust backup solution to ensure your data is never lost in case of fire, natural disaster or theft.
9. Consistency and reliability
- No turnover worries: You’re not impacted by staff turnover since we have a team of professionals.
