Tech Times recently picked us as the best online bookkeeping company.Last but not the least, we will do our very best to take care of our clients.
Outsourcing bookkeeping to India is not new. It has been going on for a few decades now. The key is to outsource to a reputable US-based firm. That way, you can hold the firm accountable for any issues that may arise. While our bookkeeping operations are handled out of India, you are still doing business with a US company. Outsourcing to us can be safer than hiring a local in-house bookkeeper. We perform background checks on our bookkeepers. And train them well on the importance of security, privacy & integrity.
Yes. In the past, only large businesses could benefit from outsourced services. Now with Globalization through the Internet almost any business can benefit from outsourcing. To be successful with outsourced bookkeeping services, you only need to have basic computer skills. A virtual bookkeeper can be available for discussions over email, messenger or the phone.
When you outsource bookkeeping to us you outsource to India. While our staff have bachelor’s or master’s degrees in accounting and several years of QuickBooks experience, they benefit from lower cost of living in India. Our staff are “extremely” satisfied with their pay structure which is much higher than what they would make at other companies. Our clients are very happy with our quality and cost model. It’s a win-win situation.
As a business owner, we all know that service interruptions and turnover greatly hurt quality. We can eliminate turnover headaches for you. Let’s face it. It’s not fun to lose a bookkeeper and train their replacement.
Being far away may be scary. However, this separates our duties, detaches us and increases security. We cannot intercept mails your bank may send you to warn you of fraud. And, we have no access to your check books. Most banks do not allow you to electronically execute international wires. They require you to be in person or need a signature. Our remote distance and 10+ hour time lag make us a great choice for retail stores and small businesses. We can even perform nightly cash and merchant card reconciliations like clockwork.
Schools in India have strong math, engineering and accounting programs. As a result, India churns out excellent accountants and bookkeepers. All our Indian bookkeepers have at least a bachelor’s degree in a technical field. Before we assign them to clients, we train them on integrity, security, privacy and patience. We also build experience with popular software such as QuickBooks. Best of all, the cost of living in India is much lower than in the US. So, by outsourcing bookkeeping to India, you get access to all this talent at a fraction of the cost. Further, India is 10 hours behind the USA. You may think this is an issue. However, the time lag is a key benefit because it allows you to reconcile transactions at the end of the day.
We have been outsourcing bookkeeping for over 17 years since 2005 and have thousands of clients.
Last but not the least, all our plans include a supervisor. The supervisor watches over the work done by the bookkeeper. We use this double team to increase security.
100% focused on bookkeeping We have been in business since 2005 and have been 100% focused on bookkeeping. Further, we specialize in QuickBooks which is used by a vast majority of small to medium businesses. We do not have to waste our resources supporting other software like Peachtree, Tally or Xero. As a result, our virtual bookkeepers have years of QuickBooks experience and are extremely proficient with QuickBooks.
We service a number of clients in many industries and have a pool of bookkeepers. Each team focuses on just one industry and perform just one task i.e., bookkeeping. As a result, they become experts in that industry. Contrast this with an in-house assistant who focuses on a few industries over multiple jobs and handles a variety of tasks.
Unlike a full-time bookkeeper, there is not much commitment to use our service. There are no setup fees. We just need an upfront deposit and a simple non-binding agreement. The deposit will be applied towards monthly services. We use the deposit to ward off competitors trying to understand our operations. For example, if you pay a $600 deposit which is good for 60 hours of services but want to cancel within 5 hours of services, we will refund the entire $600 deposit. If you cancel after the first 5 hours of services, we will refund the deposit on a prorated basis i.e., charge you only for the hours you actually used. Either of us can cancel the agreement at any time without any cancellation fees or penalties.

How often do you actually watch over your in-house bookkeeper’s shoulders? With remote bookkeeping done on your desktop, you can actually watch over the remote bookkeeper. You can see the bookkeeper move their mouse and make entries into the QuickBooks system. You also have the option to review the QuickBooks Audit logs which would show you how long the bookkeeper has been active on QuickBooks and making entries. More importantly, we are in the business of building a win-win long-term partnership with you. We are not in the business of ripping you off, making a quick buck and running. We want to help you grow your business, and grow with you…not at your expense! Our clients have given us all 5-star ratings. That’s because we care about our clients and we will do our very best to ensure their satisfaction!
All our plans include a supervisor at no additional cost. The supervisor is a higher-level resource who speaks good English. And, has deep accounting experience. They will be your single point of contact, get to know your business and manage the quality of the books. They can run cross-check reports, make necessary adjustments and deliver services to your satisfaction.
Our hourly rates for bookkeeping range from $7.50 to $10.00 per hour. Please visit our bookkeeping plans and pricing for more details.
Once you sign and fax the agreement back to us, and make the deposit, we can start our services the same night. We do not need a lot of time to get going. That’s because we are already familiar with bookkeeping for your industry. Our supervisor can smooth the transition. We may still need to understand the specifics of your firm if your operations are rather unique. Depending on the level of uniqueness, the actual ramp-up time may vary. However, in most cases, we are off and running the same day.
For the $50 per month and $100 per month plans, you do not really have to be concerned about the amount of time it takes us to complete your monthly bookkeeping. Those plans are based on the number of accounts per bookkeeping entity that we support. For the other plans, we log our hours every day and the timesheets will be stored in your dropbox share. So, at any given time, you will know exactly how many hours we have worked on and what we’ve been working on.
