Here is a link to an article I really like from the Flying Solo website.

It suggests ten questions to ask when hiring a bookkeeper.

Check it out at www.flyingsolo.com.au/finance/financial-.../hiring-a-bookkeeper

I think this article reminds us all that it is important to do some research so that you can make an informed decision before comitting to ANY new business relationship (not just bookkeepers!).

If you ARE looking for a bookkeeper though, fire away with those questions - we love them! We also think it is great to get it all down in writing too. That is why all our clients receive an engagement letter before we commence work. It spells out our policies, procedures and responsibilities.

If you're curious, contact us and request a copy of our engagement letter.
