VIRTUAL BOOKKEEPER
Hiring a virtual bookkeeper to tend your books on an ongoing basis is easier than neglecting your books and then trying to play catchup. If you are like most busy business owners who would rather focus on growing their business and using your financial data to help guide decisions rather than being tied down to data entry, then hiring a dedicated bookkeeper — virtual or otherwise — is one of the best investments in your own business that you can make. The money and TIME that you save is nearly priceless.
