The recent trend in business toward outsourcing non-core business processes has prompted many small businesses to re-examine the efficiency of their accounting and record keeping. Finding a good bookkeeper, who can produce the financial information needed to make confident business decisions, can be difficult. By letting an accountant oversee the bookkeeping function from an offsite location, a business can be assured of getting meaningful financial information they need, when they need it, and saving the overhead costs of maintaining the space, benefits and supervision of a bookkeeper. In addition to the oversight function, the accountant can provide coaching on how to improve the business, using the real-time data that can be provided with up-to-date financial information.

Other benefits of this arrangement include:

Reduced consulting fees for year-end and tax accounting fees.
No mid-year data file analysis and repair engagements.
Better internal controls. By separating the record keeping from the handling of cash and management, the opportunity of fraud is reduced.

By using Accounting On-Line features the owner can access the information anytime and anywhere. You can make your business work for you and spend your time building relationships with customers and staff, adding value to your product or service.
