Frequently Asked Questions
A: We charge a fair hourly rate for our services depending on the type of business transactions, complexity of work, and the volume. You can hire Bliss Bookkeeping to do weekly, monthly, quarterly, or even annual tasks. We would be happy to get you set up in QuickBooks if you are currently not using the software or come in and utilize your existing QuickBooks system. We have a special discounted rate for non-profits. We would be pleased to meet with you to assess your bookkeeping needs and to get an initial ballpark estimate of what you can expect to pay.
A: We use Norton Antivirus software and always make sure the software is up to date. We can transfer files over a secure FTP site to ensure that confidential data is protected over the Internet. We set a master password for our computers and individually for QuickBooks files and we recommend that our clients do the same. We can also sign a confidentiality agreement with our clients so
that they have the peace of mind that sensitive financial information
is always kept confidential.
A: We do not advise on tax issues since we are not accountants. We advise you to seek advice on any tax questions from a certified public accountant or a certified tax planner.
Q: Why should I use Bliss Bookkeeping instead of hiring my own in-house bookkeeper? A: Many companies do have an on-staff bookkeeper because their financial transactions warrant a part-time or even full-time employee. As many business owners know, there are many costs involved with hiring, training, and retaining a permanent staff person. You must consider the overall cost of retaining a bookkeeper including overhead costs, vacation time, insurance, equipment, and downtime. In the end, it may make good financial sense to outsource your bookkeeping services to Bliss Bookkeeping to avoid the costs and time involved with maintaining your own employee.
A: Give us a call or send us an email and we can set up an initial complimentary appointment to discuss your business and bookkeeping needs. We would love to be a part of your team and help with your business success.
