Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I outsource my bookkeeping?

By outsourcing your bookkeeping to a qualified professional, you will:

Free up your valuable time and resources to focus on growing your business.
Have access to professional bookkeeping expertise when you need it.
Have peace of mind knowing your books are accurate and up-to-date.

Outsourcing is also more cost-effective than hiring an employee. With an employee, even

part time, you have to add the cost of payroll taxes, benefits, workers' comp, disability

and administration to the employee's salary. You also have the added responsibility of

supervising an employee.

Will you replace my CPA?

No. I perform bookkeeping services only and take guidance from your CPA. Not only are

CPAs your best source for tax planning, tax return preparation and audit services, they

can also help guide you through more complex business decisions and financial situations.

Bookkeepers keep up the daily maintenance of your books and provide your CPA with the

financial data they need.

Some CPA firms also offer bookkeeping services, but a CPA firm usually charges more than

an independent bookkeeper for the same services. The hourly cost of your CPA's services

may not be the best use of their time or your money.

Who are your clients?

My clients include small service-based businesses, nonprofit organizations, churches, schools

and individuals. I have extensive experience working with clients such as a:

music conservatory
homeowners' association
medical professional
audio mastering engineer
Episcopal church
high net worth family
animal rescue organization
child care center
others

How does your service work?

I strive to make my bookkeeping services as convenient as possible for my clients. Services

can be provided either on-site (at your location if you're in Westchester County, NY or the

surrounding areas), off-site (at my office), or some combination of these choices. I provide

weekly or monthly services (Please click on "Services" tab for a description of weekly and

monthly services).

On-site work is done at your office using your computer system.

Off-site work is done using cloud-based QuickBooks Online, or LogMein remote access

which connects to your desktop software. I use my own computer system to do the work.

For both on-site and off-site work, I will set up your company bank and credit card

accounts for secure automatic downloads into QuickBooks. Downloading the transactions

into QuickBooks saves time and reduces errors.

How secure are LogMeIn Remote Access and QuickBooks Online?

LogMeIn Remote Access provides multi–layer protection with application–level access

control. All the data transmitted during a remote access session is encrypted using industry standard 128–Bit SSL.

QuickBooks Online uses the same technology used by online banks and brokerage firms to

transmit your private data over the Internet.

Which accounting software do you use?

I use QuickBooks exclusively. I currently use the latest versions of QuickBooks Pro and Premier (desktop software programs), QuickBooks for Mac, and all versions of cloud-based QuickBooks

Online.

How much do you charge?

I charge an affordable hourly rate for all bookkeeping services. The rate depends on whether

the services are provided on-site (at your location) or off-site (at my office).

The total hours of service will vary depending on the volume and complexity of services to be provided. The minimum number of hours for all services is 4 hours per month.

My monthly clients generally spend somewhere between $200 - $400 per month. After 3 months,

I can offer you a flat fee, if desired.

Do I have to commit to a certain amount of time?

No. I provide only the services you want and only for as long as you want them, and I only

bill you after the services are performed. You have no upfront obligations.

Is my business too small for you to provide services to me?

I specialize in small businesses; you might even say micro businesses. I cater to the

business owners that don't have the workload to make it practical to hire a bookkeeper,

but don't have the time or expertise to do the books themselves.

Do you guarantee my privacy?

Absolutely. Discretion and privacy are important to me and are guarantees I proudly make

to my clients.
