Choosing a bookkeeper
There are bookkeepers out that that will tell you they “specialize” in your industry. There’s only one problem: for the most part, a bookkeeper should know how to handle any odd entries that arise, not just ones related to your business. Look at it another way: what happens if you move from having an IT consulting company to buying the building that you’re in an renting out the other office spaces in the building? Now your bookkeeper who is an “IT consulting specialist” can’t do your books for the rental? Do you bring in another bookkeeper? No, that’s redundant. Instead, look for a bookkeeper that actually knows what he or she is doing. a well-rounded bookkeeper will be able to handle any type of company or be willing to research and learn how to help you. If your bookkeeper is unwilling to work with you, you might want to reconsider how good the bookkeeper is to begin with.
