With the pandemic still hanging over us it can be difficult to find the right workforce, but most bookkeepers are used to working virtually anyway, we were doing it long before Coronavirus! We’re pro’s!

Whether you have been looking after your own books or you are looking to change your bookkeeper, we have the tips you need to ensure you find the right person to look after your accounts.

Here at LJM Bookkeeping we love working with our existing clients and really enjoy building relationships with our new comers. We believe that it’s necessary that we click and that communications flow easily between us.

So our first tip is:

1. Find someone you know you’re going to get along with, someone you can trust. The best way of doing this is via word of mouth, ask around and see if anyone you know uses a bookkeeper. If not check out the bookkeepers’ reviews. Arrange to have a chat with them preferably via a Zoom call so that you can meet them face to face. You should know instantly if you’re going to get along with someone. You also need to make sure that they are going to be jargon free, you need to understand what’s going on with your finances. They need to be open and honest and clear in their reporting.

2. Ensure the bookkeeper you chose meets your business requirements. Some bookkeepers specialise in particular types of businesses, maybe they just deal with Sole Traders, or just concentrate on particular business sectors. Here at LJM Bookkeeping we cater for the needs of all businesses. From businesses that are just starting up to established businesses we have the knowledge and experience to meet your needs. We look after the books for businesses in various industries so can rest assure you will be in safe hands with us.
