When your bookkeeping is in the cloud, does it matter where it’s handled?

If you’re a business owner, you can get just about anything you need without leaving the building. Outsourcing makes it less expensive to hire the experts you need. The cloud made it easier to work with your experts, even if they’re a thousand miles away.

Bookkeeping in the Cloud

You can even do that with bookkeeping services. Bookkeeping in the cloud is an amazing process. You simply digitize your financial documents and zip them off to a guy in California… or perhaps the Philippines.

There’s probably a guy there who’s just waiting for you to send your financial document. He’ll set up your chart of accounts, link your accounts with your bank, pay your suppliers, and keep your cash flowing smoothly… all for a really cheap price. It’s just like working with “a bookkeeper near me” … except it isn’t.

Do you really want your financial experts to be a thousand miles away?

Correction: When you work with a bookkeeper in the Philippines, there are actually 8,400 miles between you and the guy keeping your financial records. The cost of living there is probably cheaper, so you’ll pay a lower bookkeeping fee. But is that really what you want?

Bookkeeping in the cloud is a far more acceptable way to do things than it was even a few years ago. It makes life easier than working with tedious online DIY spreadsheets and lined-paper accounting ledgers.

Working with a guy who is multiple time zones away can probably work out too. That’s assuming you don’t mind letting a guy have access to all your financial details, knowing you’ll never be able to look him in the eye or shake his hand.
