As business owners, we often have so many hats to wear in our businesses– Sales, Marketing, CEO, HR Director, CFO, sometimes even janitor….if you are transferring your Bookkeeper hat to a person to look after your numbers, don’t you want to be sure that it is sitting on the right head?
Bookkeepers are still an unregulated industry in Canada and so there is a wide variety of individuals calling themselves “Bookkeepers”, when in fact, many of them are not bookkeepers, but data entry people.
A good bookkeeper is someone who understands what is happening in the background of the software when they hit <Enter>. They understand the mechanics behind Payroll, GST/HST, Debits and Credits.
