What is the major feature of the different bookkeeping services? on-site bookkeeping, off-site bookkeeping, and remote bookkeeping?
For on-site bookkeeping, one of our bookkeepers goes to work in your office. For off-site bookkeeping, we pick up documents from you and process it in our office. You don’t need to have a computer, software or an office space for us. For remote bookkeeping, we log into your computer through a secure Internet connection from our office and work on your computer.
Which bookkeeping service should I use? on-site, off-site, or remote?
It depends. If you do not have office space or computer or software, off-site bookkeeping is definitely the best solution. If you do some bookkeeping tasks by yourself and consider outsourcing the rest, you can consider our remote service. On-site service is available only in Greater Sydney Area (GSA) but there is no geographic limitation for off-site, or remote service. Call us at 0418 422517, we will be happy to help you find out the best solution.
I have an accountant already. Can I still use your service?
Sure, there is no conflict at all. You can use our bookkeeping service and retain your accountant to prepare your year-end statements and tax return. We will provide all necessary records and reports to your accountant. We are happy to answer any questions and assist your accountant to maximize the value of both our services and your accountant’s services. This also saves you time on answering accountants questions when he or she is doing your year-end. This may be the ideal solution for you because many accountants don’t like and are not good at bookkeeping.
I would like to do some bookkeeping tasks myself. Can I still use your service?
Yes, no problem. For example, some of our clients invoice their customers by themselves. We will do whatever tasks are left. We will discuss an ideal solution to streamline the work.
Do you return my documents?
Yes, we return your original records once a year or any time you request.
How much does your service cost?
In general, our costs have proven to be less than our clients were paying for their accounting staff. Our fees are based on the volume and complexity of each client. We determine the scope of services and establish a fixed monthly amount so you can manage you budget.The cost of properly setting your books up and maintaining them is far more cost effective than having your CPA fix and correct them at year end. In addition, the benefits of having accurate and useful reporting during the year can assist in all aspects of running your business. We encourage you to take advantage of our free first bookkeeping consultation and learn what the precise costs for your business would be.
Do you replace my current CPA?
NO. We perform bookkeeping services only and take guidance from your current CPA. Since we do not perform tax or attest services, your CPA does not need to be concerned that we are here to replace them. We value your relationship with your CPA and look to enhance the day to day record keeping so your CPA can make informed decisions. OSYB helps eliminate the frustration that can arise between the CPA and the clients due to inadequate bookkeeping—the client believes they are charged too much by the CPA for simple bookkeeping service, and the CPA cannot charge full value for his or his staff’s time for bookkeeping services.
