We’re revisiting some of our most popular and helpful podcasts from the last year. For this week, we are replaying episode 96.

Hiring a bookkeeper is a lot like hiring a mechanic. You’re taking a leap of faith that they aren’t going to screw you over.

After all, unless you know how to fix your own car, how would you even know whether your mechanic is doing a good job or not? The same goes for a bookkeeper.

Luckily, you don’t have to be a bookkeeper yourself to know if your bookkeeper is doing quality work.

That’s why for this episode, we discuss:

• The top complaint we hear from our clients about their past bookkeepers
• Why the way your bookkeeper sets up your P&L matters
• The missing piece of most bookkeepers’ monthly service that business owners need to demand
• Why entrepreneurs need to trust their gut if they feel like their books aren’t being managed correctly
• Why it’s not unreasonable to expect a high level of customer service from your bookkeeper
• Why you need a bookkeeper that specializes in your industry
