What changes when you outsource the bookkeeping.
Outsourced bookkeeping services hand the recording, reconciling, closing and reporting of your books to an outside provider. The service replaces an in-house hire, a part-time contractor or your own weekends. The work happens inside your own accounting software. It runs on a fixed monthly schedule, for a fixed monthly fee.
The trigger is usually the same. Your volume has outgrown a spreadsheet, but not by enough to justify a full-time hire. The BLS put the median bookkeeping clerk wage at $49,210 in May 2024, and payroll tax, benefits and software sit on top. Outsourced bookkeeping services fill that gap. The scope grows with your business, not with your payroll.
- The file stays in your name
- We log in to your QuickBooks, Xero or Sage file. Nothing moves to a system you would lose if you left.
- A close that is written down
- Your close follows a checklist built around how you sell and spend. Each month passes a second review before you see it.
- The same dates each month
- Transactions are coded as they arrive. The books close in the first week, and statements land by the 10th.
- Ready for your CPA
- The close follows U.S. GAAP habits on a clean chart of accounts, so your CPA can file from it without a rebuild.
