0141: Ten Solid Reasons Not To Have A Bookkeeper Come To Your Home Office


Listen Later

Recently a contractor and his wife came to our Construction Accounting office and told an interesting story about a freelance bookkeeper who was coming into their home office where they are operating a small construction company to work on their QuickBooks For Contractors company file.
They told how the freelance bookkeeper they hired never could get the bank reconciliation window in QuickBooks to match the bank statement. The bookkeeper would do a forced reconciliation which only compounded the problem causing their Financial Statements and Job Costing Reports to be less accurate and not as useful to them as they needed.
In addition to several significant bookkeeping errors, the bookkeeper insisted that she never did anything wrong, and it was the bank's fault if she could not reconcile the bank statement with QuickBooks.
The contractor and his wife were severely agitated because they caught the freelance bookkeeper in their master bedroom going through the couple's jewelry box and inspecting everything in their bathroom medicine cabinet.
They had read several articles on our blog and a few dozen web pages on our website Fast Easy Accounting and listened to some of my Podcasts
