When it comes to bookkeeping support, many business owners wonder
Is it better to hire someone local or go virtual?
While working with a local bookkeeper might seem more traditional, virtual bookkeeping offers flexibility, speed, and modern convenience that fits today’s fast-paced business world. Here’s why more business owners are choosing to go virtual:
Everything is online
From Zoom check-ins to shared Google Drive folders and project management tools like Asana or ClickUp, everything is streamlined digitally. No printing. No driving across town. No waiting for email responses days later.
It saves everyone time
When your bookkeeper doesn’t need to travel, sit down face-to-face for every minor task, or dig through paper receipts, you both get more time back. That means more focus on your books and less back-and-forth on admin.
Real-time access & collaboration
With cloud-based tools like QuickBooks Online and Xero, you can both access your books anytime, from anywhere. Want a quick update? Your bookkeeper can walk you through reports live on a Zoom call, screen-share and all.
Efficient workflows & faster turnaround
A virtual bookkeeper can build efficient systems that run like clockwork. Think automatic reminders, scheduled reports, and faster reconciliations without the delays that come with in-person meetups or mailed documents.
You’re not limited by geography
Instead of picking someone just because they’re nearby, you can choose the right fit for your business someone who knows your industry, understands your goals, and communicates in a way that works for you.
Working virtually allows your bookkeeper to be more focused, more efficient, and more responsive because the entire process is designed to work smarter, not harder.
