What Should You Look For In A Brisbane Bookkeeper?
Before you engage a Brisbane bookkeeper what questions should you ask before appointing them to look after sensitive and private financial information you would not even considering giving to close friends and family? At the very least you need to consider the following questions.
Bookkeeper Brisbane: Questions to Ask in Finding the Right Bookkeeper
- Can they do the job and are they reliable?
Obvious question really but we are surprised at the number of businesses that come to us asking us to fix problems left behind by their previous Brisbane Bookkeeper.
You need to ask this question directly and do not be afraid to ask for proof that they know what they are doing. Ask for client contacts, a list of testimonials or anything else that shows you they have the knowledge and experience to do what they say they can do.
Reliability is a real problem with self employed bookkeepers especially when its school holidays, sickness or vacation time. Often there is no one else who can replace them and your work gets left behind. This can cause difficulties especially when lodging your BAS or getting information to your accountant.
You should ask them if they would be willing to give you a no quibble money back guarantee.
-
Are they registered with the Tax Practitioners Board and an Institute?
Anyone who undertakes bookkeeping and charges a fee for it must be registered with the Tax Practitioners Board. If they are not registered stay well away!
We would go one step further and say that your Brisbane Bookkeeper should also be a member of a recognised body which has standards of professionalism and ethics.
-
Can Your Brisbane Bookkeeper provide other Value Added Reports and Information?
Make sure the firm you choose don’t just crunch the numbers! In the modern business environment information is everything.
If your bookkeeping system and software is set up correctly you should be able to access all kinds of meaningful reports which will help your cashflow and should grow your business.
-
Do they have a Clear Pricing Structure?
Most Brisbane Bookkeeper firms will charge on an hourly basis. This means you do not really know what the total cost will be until it has been done.
Ask to see if they are willing to fix their fees. If they are it is great for you as you will know exactly what the cost of bookkeeping is to your business.
