Due to excessive spam abuse, email providers and ISPs have gotten tough on blocking spam. But in their zeal to weed out spam, your support emails to your customers are being blocked! That’s why you need a customer support system hosted on your own web server.

The Virtual Assistant Bookkeeper

Keeping the books organized is a major battle for most small businesses.

Sure, the business receives money from clients and pays for equipment, but as far as the bookkeeping goes, it may be a drawer in the office with tons of paper receipts. The virtual assistant bookkeeper sorts through these papers to sort out the books.

Someone has to do record keeping. In a small online business,
that person is the owner. If he or she does not have time during
the day, it will be after he or she has dealt with other issues.

It is time to record some numbers. That makes for a long day – every day.

The Market

More than one business has ended up bankrupt because of bad
bookkeeping. One day, the owner looks up and sees that he or she has sucked the resources dry. Not keeping accurate records can lead to problems with the IRS and no one wants that.

When a business owner doesn’t possess a certain expertise, he or she can hire someone to do it for him or her. For small businesses, hiring a bookkeeper is not just interviewing and choosing one from many. An employer has to pay for health insurance and other particulars for each employee and that means money he or she does not have.

Another solution is a virtual assistant like you.

With a virtual assistant, businesses don’t pay for space, insurance or sick time. They only have to pay for services rendered. In today’s economy, that is a smart business move.

You might say that a virtual assistant bookkeeper is a hot commodity.
You provide a needed service for small and large businesses.
Keeping on top of business accounts is easy for someone with the knowledge.

Some of the services you might offer are:

• Payroll
• Reconciling accounts
• Daily record keeping
• Entering transactions in the proper ledgers
• Month-end statements
• Software bookkeeping management

or even backing up the business records.

Think of all of the time and energy you will save each business owner!

Clients can depend on you to record receipts and let them know how
much cash they have on hand. Bookkeepers invoice account holders
for work to be done and finished jobs.

There are a number of ways to conduct your business.

Local clients can mail their receipts to you for your expert help.
All of the information can be organized using bookkeeping software
and sent as an attachment to your clients. For online clients,
you can reconcile the software that they use with their account records.

A virtual assistant bookkeeper can feel good about the job that he or she does for businesses. Staying ahead in financial matters is at the crux of business success. Your management of the books gives them one less thing to worry about.
