Bookkeeping Service Hiring Guide

What is a bookkeeping company?

A bookkeeping company is a specialized firm that manages the financial records of an organization, ensuring that they are complete, accurate, and compliant with industry policies and regulations. Its core focus is helping businesses better understand their financial performance, make informed decisions, and uncover growth opportunities.  

Typically, there are two kinds of bookkeeping services. The first is a standard or regular bookkeeper who performs simple duties, such as inputting financial records and comparing them with bank statements. The second is a full charge bookkeeper, who has managerial responsibilities and is more involved in a business’s overall financial health, managing its banking and payroll, and assisting accountants in filing taxes. 

While these two types of bookkeeping services differ in scope and responsibilities, both help businesses overcome some of the following challenges: 

  • Inability to track business’ monetary transactions 
  • Disconnection between the sales and profit margins 
  • Late payments, lost invoices, or unexpected expenses leading to cash flow issues 
  • Frequent compliance violations and penalties 
  • Difficulty balancing inflows and outflows and maintaining stable cash flow 
  • Disorganized or incomplete financial records 
  • Limited financial visibility that subsequently impedes strategic planning 
  • Limited bookkeeping skills and knowledge 

The global bookkeeping and financial auditing market is predicted to reach $673.7 billion by 2028, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% from 2023 to 2028. The market growth can be attributed to taxation changes, increasing business complexity, and shifting outsourcing trends pertaining to bookkeeping.  

Success story 

While the numbers speak for themselves, we selected the following case study to illustrate the impact of bookkeeping services in nurturing financial health.  

  • Challenge: With operations dispersed across over 1,000 locations, a retail chain’s point of sale (POS) terminals reported incorrect, duplicate, and missing transactions. Because of this, it had to dedicate over 400 hours to manually review the financial records of at least 50 stores. 
  • Solution: Leveraging its tax processing and change management platform, alyx, Grant Thornton developed a workflow that automated data consolidation and implemented internal review processes from audit specialists to ensure data accuracy. Once deployed, the technology automatically reviewed the financial records and reconciled accounts. 
  • Results: Grant Thornton reduced reconciliation time by 90%, compressing manual work hours from 400 to 40, which allowed the client’s team to dedicate time to more important tasks. 

What do bookkeeping companies do?

Bookkeeping companies streamline businesses’ financial tracking, paying, and reporting processes to minimize data entry errors and ensure accuracy. They coordinate with department heads to collect expense reports and approve purchases, report inaccuracies and variations in monthly financial reports, and help keep a business's annual budget in order. 

Key bookkeeping services include: 

  • Financial transaction documentation 
    Recording all financial transactions, including sales, purchases, receipts, and payments together, and ensuring they include details like transaction date, payee, and payor 
  • Accounts receivable/payable management 
    Collecting and monitoring payment transactions, which involves sending invoices to customers, following up on overdue accounts, and scheduling payments for bills 
  • Bank reconciliation 
    Comparing financial records with bank statements to assess for discrepancies and errors in data keeping and reconciling these when possible 
  • Payroll management 
    Calculating employee wages, withholding taxes, managing benefits, and processing employee payroll 
  • Financial reporting 
    Creating balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, and other financial reports and submitting these to relevant personnel for their analysis 
  • Budgeting and financing 
    Providing projections for future financial performance based on historical data and market trends and assisting businesses in developing and monitoring budgets to manage spending 

Success story 

To better illustrate the role of bookkeeping services in real-world business situations, we selected a case study from Crowe

  • Challenge: Lacking the resources to reconcile intercompany accounts receivable and payable across its multiple entities, a global telecommunications company partnered with Crowe to provide audit support to its parent company and its foreign subsidiaries. 
  • Solution: Crowe conducted intercompany account reconciliation for three entities across three consecutive annual audit periods. In addition, the company reviewed the accuracy of the parent company’s financial records, drafted financial statements and footnotes, and created a template for the client to use for future reconciliations. 
  • Results: With Crowe’s help, the client gained more accurate financial records and met all reporting and audit deadlines, avoiding potential violations and penalties.  

What is the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?

Although bookkeepers and accountants operate within the same financial domain, their roles are distinctly different and are frequently conflated with one another. Essentially, bookkeepers handle a business’s day-to-day financial operations, whereas accountants are more involved in the bigger picture of the business’s finances, i.e., they analyze financial statements, perform audits, and file taxes. 

Below is a comparison chart: 

Bookkeeper Accountant 
Records daily and monthly transactions Analyzes the records which bookkeepers log to advise business owners on financial decisions 
Conducts bank reconciliations Conducts routine audits and reviews financial statements 
Sends invoices, tracks received payments, and processes payrolls Analyzes the overall cost of operations and manages budgets 
Does not have the legal authority to file for taxes Has the legal authority to file for taxes 

How much do bookkeeping services cost?

On average, bookkeeping services cost between $500 and $2,500 per month for fully outsourced services, however, this rate can vary depending on the following factors:  

  • Company size and number of employees  
  • Number of monthly transactions 
  • Number of expense accounts  
  • Number of invoices 
  • Number of balance sheets 
  • Customized reporting needs 
  • Agency location 

A bookkeeping company’s pricing model can also affect the overall price of the service. Common models include: 

  • Hourly rate 
    Charges per hour of service rendered, providing an affordable and flexible pricing option for businesses with widely varying needs per month. 
  • Part-time bookkeeping
    Bills a flat monthly fee for basic bookkeeping services, such as inputting receipts and reconciling records. This is an ideal pricing option for businesses that can perform some bookkeeping services internally (e.g., payroll and financial reports) and want to save up on bookkeeping costs. 
  • Full-service bookkeeping 
    Requires a flat monthly fee for comprehensive bookkeeping services, making a preferred option for businesses that don’t have the internal resources to manage their financial records and have complex needs. 

The top 50 bookkeeping companies on DesignRush charge an average hourly rate of $73. 18.6% of agencies accept projects under $1,000, offering cost-effective options for organizations seeking basic bookkeeping services. On the other hand, 0.8% require at least $50,000, catering to businesses that require end-to-end bookkeeping services on a larger scale. 

Why should I hire a bookkeeping company?

You should hire a bookkeeping company because it can provide visibility into your organization’s financial health, help you make more informed decisions pertaining to your budget and expenses, and pinpoint opportunities to maximize your profits. Bookkeeping companies can also help you uncover patterns in your financial performance and improve overall financial operations.  

Hire bookkeepers because they: 

  • Improve your business’s financial resiliency so you can quickly recover from unexpected financial shocks  
  • Provide greater visibility into your cash flow, transactions, and overall financial records 
  • Minimize record-keeping errors and can prevent compliance penalties 
  • Provide valuable insights on budget allocation and business expenses 
  • Explore opportunities to optimize spending, better allocate budget, and grow revenue 
  • Prepare well-documented financial reports and analyses to be presented to investors and stakeholders 
  • Can fully take over the bookkeeping operations, thus allowing you to focus on core business activities 

Success story 

To highlight the value of bookkeeping services, we’ve selected Coforge’s case study as a notable example:  

  • Challenge: A commercial bank wanted to reclassify its clients’ financial statements into a specific risk analyst template, seeking to conduct a more accurate analysis. However, the statements were inconsistent and inaccurate and required standardization. 
  • Solution: Recognizing the client’s time constraints, Coforge created a detailed process checklist to reduce and monitor errors and standardized the approach for financial reclassification. The company also employed its proven process assessment framework to accelerate the transition. 
  • Results: Following the partnership with Coforge, the bank achieved a 99.5% accuracy in financial statement spreading, reduced staffing requirements by 30%, and improved regulation compliance. Because of this efficiency, the bank recorded a turn time of 12 hours for prioritized new loan applications. 

How do I choose the best bookkeeping company for my business?

Choosing the best bookkeeping company for your business requires careful consideration and research. To help you in this process, we compiled a list of things you should consider: 

  1. Understand your business needs 
    Evaluate your bottlenecks, pain points, and current limitations to determine the type of bookkeeping services you need to outsource.  
  2. Outline project scope 
    Determine the number of monthly transactions, reporting needs, payroll needs, and accounting tech and systems to define project scope. 
  3. Set your budget 
    Discuss with stakeholders how much you can allocate toward a bookkeeping service, considering the frequency and scope of services.  
  4. Research potential partners and ask for referrals 
    Review agency directories like DesignRush, marketplaces, publications, and listings to find bookkeeping companies. You can also reach out to business partners and colleagues for agencies for referrals. 
  5. Check their credibility

    Shortlist suitable agencies and send them an RFP. Across the RFPs, include a list of expected responsibilities and deliverables, project budget, how frequently you’ll need the service (daily, monthly, or quarterly), and a rough estimate of the regular workload.  
  8. Ask about security and privacy  
    Inquire about their financial data security best practices and ensure they comply with the latest privacy and security regulations to safeguard your business’s information. 
  9. Evaluate their soft skills 
    Observe the agency’s interactions with your team, and prioritize those that are organized, communicative, transparent, accountable, flexible, and seem like a good culture fit. 
  10. Finalize details with your chosen partner 
    Once you’ve chosen a bookkeeping company, settle on the payment method, list of deliverables, project management and communication details, and other aspects of your collaboration.
