A builder in Melbourne had an employee on staff who was managing their bookkeeping. Although they found out that Clients Needs Bookkeeping helps tradies with their bookkeeping, so they asked us to check all the work that was being done.
Can you get a bookkeeper to audit your bookkeeping done by staff?
Any business owner can hire a bookkeeper to audit the bookkeeping work being done by their staff or even an outsourced contractor. This tradie asked us to provide consultation and audit their books.
We helped work out a few complex financial issues, lodged their BAS and paid their Superannuation for them.
Can you outsource your bookkeeping if an employee leads?
Not too long after we provided help with their books, their employee left which left the tradie in an akward position as their invoicing wasn’t getting done, bank reconciliations weren’t being checked etc so the tradie decided to outsource their bookkeeping and used our service.
We did this for a short period of time while they hired a new employee which helped them maintain their cashflow and keep things organised.
They eventually hired another staff member to do their bookkeeping but unfortunately they left a short while after.
Is outsourcing your bookkeeping to someone overseas a good idea?
After the second employee didn’t work out, the tradie decided to hire an outsourced bookkeeper who was located overseas. Unfortunately the tradie felt like the bookkeeping wasn’t getting done correctly so they asked us to check everything again.
We found a number of errors in their Payroll processing and GST allocations on invoicing. So the business owner asked our bookkeeping team to fix all the errors and we also provided education to the outsourced bookkeeper they were using.
To this day, we are engaged by the business owner to check over their books periodically to make sure all the details are correct.
How much does an outsourced bookkeeper in Melbourne cost?
