What is remote bookkeeping ?
Remote bookkeeping allows an accountant or bookkeeper to provide accounting services for a client remotely. Telecommuting positions are becoming more common as businesses seek creative ways to find a balance between staffing arrangements and workloads. A virtual bookkeeping arrangement can be beneficial to both the business and the bookkeeper in terms of flexibility and cost.
Remote bookkeeping allows a bookkeeper to telecommute instead of physically working at a client’s office. Aside from the work location, there is not much difference between regular bookkeeping services and a virtual arrangement. A virtual bookkeeper uses computerized bookkeeping software to post financial transactions, review and update statements and reconcile accounts.
