2 Great Bookkeeping Sites

February 17, 2011 in Tips with 13 Comments

One of the many reasons I wanted to start thatbookkeeper.com was because I just couldn’t find many blogs written from a bookkeeper’s perspective. There are so many good sites written by a marketing, sales, or management expert, but I just couldn’t find anything from a fellow bean counter.

You know how, when you buy a new car, it suddenly seems like everyone else is driving that same car now? They weren’t there yesterday, but now you’re seeing them everywhere. The same thing happened with the site. As soon as I started writing, I finally started to discover other bookkeepers’ sites. Really good sites too. Since, by reading this post, you have elected to read what a bookkeeper has to say, I thought I would share my two current favourites.

One Hour Bookkeeper

I really like the tone of this site. On one hand, it’s really informative. On most sites, I’ll really get into every 3 or 4 posts, but I seem to get something useful out of every post I read on this site. On the other hand, it’s really entertaining. I love the “Bad Bookkeeper” section, that follows a fictional character who is doing all the things a bookkeeper shouldn’t do. It’s a great way to learn about how to avoid getting bled dry by an unethical bookkeeper. I think bookkeepers and business owners will really enjoy the site.

Bookkeeping-Essentials

This site is a great resource for anyone who needs to know more about bookkeeping. I don’t care how long you’ve been doing this for, I guarantee you will learn something new by reading the posts and guides. If you’re a business owner, this will help you make sense of what your bookkeeper is doing (or not doing). It can also help you learn how to do some of it yourself. If you’re a bookkeeper, this is the perfect place to strengthen your skills.

I hope you find these sites as informative and entertaining as I have. If you have other sites like these, please share them with me in the comments. I’m always searching for information, and would love to know about a new source.

Good article! I especially like this content! I also love the Bad Bookkeeper section, that follows a fictional character who is doing all the things a bookkeeper shouldn’t do. Thanks!

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the content. I really like what you’ve done with your site too. I used MYOB for many years. The only reason I stopped was because they shut down in Canada.

If for some reason I am contacted by someone in Australia, I’ll know who to refer them to.

I am fairly sure that you are good at other things in your business. It is important to know what you don’t know … and when it is time to contract out the work. Wouldn’t you rather be spending your time on the other things you are good at and enjoy? :0)

Hi Erica,

Thanks so much for the comment. I’ll be checking out those other bookkeepers today.

I would love to take you up on that offer. Once I get out from underneath this big pile of paperwork, you’ll be hearing from me.

Outsourcing
bookkeeping can give you lots of benefits, especially if you have a small
business with a small team. You can save time, money, effort, energy. etc.
It is possible to find a bookkeeper for less than $10 per
hour if you hire someone from lower income country like the Philippines
and India. It is scary to hire someone offshore but it’s worth it since there
is a good chance you’ll be able to hire an accountant who is competent, willing
to work hard, who’s got the brains and is ready to learn new things. I’ve
bumped into an awesome blog that have some great tips on looking for the best
bookkeeper possible. You might find it helpful.
