Bookkeepers and Mobile Bookkeeping Services

Fred contacted us because he’s on the hunt for a bookkeeping service that will ensure full client confidentiality.

He stressed that his company financials are highly confidential. He’s pretty insistant that he doesn’t want the bookkeeper to do the payroll, because then the bookeeper will know how much each staff member is being paid.

Right.

Fred’s not outsourced a bookeeping service before. Fred was very concerned that the bookkeeper would know all about the financials of his company.

No hanky-Panky through the Business set of Bookkeeping Records

Yes, Fred – that’s what a bookkeeper does! Simply put, the bookkeeper records every dollar and cent coming into your company, and every dollar and cent going out of your company.

So, Fred, if you are having hanky panky somewhere and don’t want your wife to know about it, nor want your bookkeeper to know about it, don’t put any hanky-panky sexpenses through the business.

Well, if you do, you’d better call it something else. Because we don’t want to know about it – and you probably don’t want the ATO to know about it either – perhaps you could speak to the SA Premier about that.

Fred’s been quite happy to give the whole company Quickbooks data file to his accountant all this time – perhaps he thinks accountants won’t notice the transactions into and out of his business.

By outsourcing a bookkeeper, Fred can be assured that his bookwork will be up-to date, correct, and completed in a timely and efficient manner – Indeed, by outsourcing, there’s less chance of the staff learning too much about the financials – the bookkeeper can report directly to Fred, and show Fred how to raise the relevant reports each month or quarter

Waiting for the accountant generally nmeans that the data is over twelve months old. If our book-keeping service did not maintain client confidentiality, do you think we’d have many bookkeeping clients?
