A. Remote bookkeeping basically allows us to do your books without actually having to be on location.
There are a few different ways we usually work with our clients:
1. We House The File
We can keep the Quickbooks file on our systems, and possibly save you money because you don't have to buy QuickBooks! You own the file, so if you ever choose to take the QuickBooks in-house or stop utilizing our services, we would just send you a copy of the file to move it to your computer.
2. Remote Login/Cloud Hosting
Remote Access or Cloud Hosting are good solutions for clients who need to use their QuickBooks file on a daily basis or want constant access to their account. We use softwares like GotomyPC or Teamviewer to set up remote access to your computer, allowing us to login and work on your file on your system. Some of our clients choose to host their QuickBooks file using a cloud hosting provider, so that they can access the file from anywhere.
3. Accountant’s Copy
We can also have you provide us with something called an “accountant’s copy,” which basically lets you keep doing your day-to-day tasks in Quickbooks while we work on the clean up and reconciliations from past months!
4. Quickbooks Online
If you use QuickBooks Online, you would just need to grant us accountant level access to your account.
