  qualifications as a minimum
• The more educational qualifications a bookkeeper
  can have related to their profession, the better,
  and if youre not looking to hire a CPA (who will
  have more qualifications, knowledge and
  experience than a bookkeeper), then you should at
  least be looking to hire a bookkeeper who has
  completed college level accounting classes a
  degree in accounting is naturally preferable.

  important details related to your business, they
  can help it to grow and become more successful,
  and solve any problems that might be holding your
  business back.
• Be clear on what you need from a bookkeeper
  before you hire one
• Try to assess the needs of your business and its
  priorities before even thinking about hiring a
  bookkeeper. Understanding your own requirements
  is perhaps the only way to find the right

  about the type of business you have, the number
  of transactions you handle every day, the
  accounting software that you use and so on.

• Asking relevant questions is something that a
  good bookkeeper should do to be able to better
  understand your business. Doing so enables them
  to formulate and comprehend financial planning
  strategies, better ways of increasing revenue and
  managing cashflow, along with many other
  cost-effective ways to help you increase the
  business performance and growth of your company.

• Find a bookkeeper who communicates effectively
• A bookkeeper worth their salary is one who can of
  course crunch numbers, but who can also
  communicate well with you and other members of
  your business team to ensure that they get the
  information they need to complete their work and
  help your business function and thrive.
• Be sure to hire a bookkeeper with good time
  management skills
• Deadlines are a huge part of running a business,
  not only for owners but for tax professionals, so
  finding a bookkeeper who understands this and is
  reactive to deadlines, is essential.

• Aside from meeting deadlines, time management in
  general should be important to tax professionals,
  and they should be prompt and time-conscious
  tardiness can end up costing your business money.
• Hiring a bookkeeper or any other tax professional
  to help you run your business, should not be a
  process that you rush into, and researching your
  candidates to find one who you think you can
  establish a good, working relationship with, is
  extremely important.
