It pains my bookkeeper heart to tell this to you.

There are bad bookkeepers in the world.

There. I said it.
​​But this doesn't need to get you down. I just want you to be informed. Watch for these signs so you don't get tangled with a bad bookkeeper.
​
  • Talking down to you and using “accountant-ese” 
  • Making you feel dumb for asking questions
  • Not providing financial reports in a timely manner (within a month)
  • Consistently missing agreed upon deadlines
  • Hating change: not using the latest technology or continually learning
  • Your accounting records are not accessible by you
  • Not responding to emails or phone calls in a timely manner
  • Accounts not reconciled correctly so there are duplicates or missing information
  • Financial statements are not understandable

By now you might be feeling nervous and want to avoid all bookkeepers, but that isn't necessary! I recommend following a few bookkeepers on social media to see who doesn't meet these qualifications. You can find me on Instagram:
