You want to find a bookkeeper who understands your business and becomes an integral part of your business, someone you can rely on to keep your accounts in order and up to date. It is always good to have a local bookkeeper you can access easily if you need to but with cloud accounting packages these days, everything can be done via online or mobile apps, telephone calls and emails. Always check on your potential bookkeeper’s qualifications, check that they are a registered BAS agent or Certified Xero Advisor if you are using Xero accounting software for your small business.
