What to look for when hiring a Bookkeeper

If you're a small business owner, there is a high chance that you're juggling a range of different tasks and over extending yourself to get everything completed.

The busier your workload gets, the more you start to fall behind on important tasks such as your Bookkeeping. If you can relate, it's time to outsource your Bookkeeping so you can focus on the core of your business.

Here are the top 4 things you should look for when you’re hiring a bookkeeper or bookkeeping team.

Qualifications – there’s a lot to understand when it comes to business finances. Choosing a bookkeeping team who have industry recognised qualifications means you’re choosing from the cream of the crop.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Certifications – make sure your bookkeeping team are comfortable with the accounting software you use in your business. For example, if you use Xero, make sure you’re working with a Xero Payroll Certified team!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Big picture thinkers – you want a team that’s on board with your big business vision and is committed to help you get there.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Attention to detail – missed payment and lodgement deadlines can cost your business unnecessarily. It’s important that your team is on top of things.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
