Testimonials

   "BusiBee is an understatement for Simone Kopitzki's company name. She is the most efficient and responsive person I know. The time it takes BusiBee to clean up your books is really dependent upon you - the client. Once Simone has all the information she turns it around very quickly with specific questions if needed and foresight as to what you need to be planning for going forward. Always prepared, BusiBee keeps her clients prepped for deadlines. There are no surprises. Simone, the BusiBee is wonderful."       - Garrett O'Doherty, Synergy Meeting Solutions

We have not screened or pre-qualified applicants and no assurance is made as to their education, skills and expertise.

It is your responsibility to check a bookkeeper’s references and determine if the applicant is appropriate for the job.

Hints for Hiring

Before you interview any bookkeepers be sure that you have identified:

  • Exactly what services you want a bookkeeper to provide, a detailed list will help.
  • How much time you think it will require, how often and any scheduling restraints.
  • Networking with other members (need Gabe's help with wording)
  • How much you are willing to pay and frequency of payment.
  • Any specialized accounting or software requirements.

Ask for a resume in advance of the interview. Once you have chosen your candidates, ask for three references

It is a good idea to use an application form that reflects current employment law.

It is imperative to do a background check once you have decided on a candidate, as you are entrusting this person with your confidential financial information and giving them access to your cash accounts, credit cards, etc. Many payroll service companies provide background checks for a reasonable fee even if you aren’t a payroll client.

Here are some ideas for questions to ask a prospective bookkeeper.

  • How many years have you been an independent bookkeeper?
  • Do you consider yourself a full charge bookkeeper? If not, what are your areas of weakness?
  • Are there bookkeeping services that you do not perform? (Typically this might be payroll.)
  • How many clients do you currently have? Briefly describe what you do for them.
  • What do you do to stay up-to-date on bookkeeping issues and software?
  • Do you generally coordinate your work with the client’s CPA? If not, why not?
  • How have you handled a difficult client?
  • What would your clients say about your work?
  • How would you describe your interpersonal skills?

How quickly can you respond to an urgent message from me?
