What is the difference between having an internal bookkeeper and outsourcing to VBI, LLC?
There are many advantages to outsourcing your bookkeeping/accounting needs, there
are even more advantages to outsourcing to a virtual company. One of the main
advantages is the cost savings. In most cases, we can save your company up
to 50% over other outsourced accounting firms and hiring an internal accounting
department or bookkeeper. Click
here to see a comparison chart of the three different options and then decide
for yourself.
Who Is A "Virtual" Bookkeeper/Accountant
The term "Virtual" sometimes puts people off, especially if they
don't know what the term means. Simply put, your CPB/CPA team will work from
a remote office instead of being co-located in your office. They have their
own state-of-the-art equipment and are fully trained so that they are able
to provide you with the highest level of accounting knowledge and service from
day one. Our virtual bookkeepers are Certified Public Bookkeepers (CPB) and
QuickBooks ProAdvisor Certified. Our virtual accountants are Certified Public
Accountants (CPA) and are members of the Indiana CPA Society.
Can A Virtual Bookkeeper/Virtual Accountant Do Everything That An In-House
Bookeeper/Accountant Can Do
Sure they can! Our Certified Public Bookkeepers (CPB) and Certified Public
Accountants (CPA) provide specialized services just like traditional CPB's
and CPA's. In most situations, your CPB/CPA team will be able to accomplish
in 4-5 hours what a traditional bookkeeper/accountant might have taken 8 hours
to accomplish. How they are able to accomplish this is simple. There are fewer
distractions, no lunch breaks, and no coffee breaks. You only pay for the time
your CPB/CPA team is actually doing work. We understand that your business
does not take a vacation and we don't either.
How Will I Communicate With My CPB/CPA Team If They Are Not In My Office
Your CPB/CPA team is working from their home office, which is located in the
United States, not the moon. You will be able to communicate with your Virtual
CPA/CPB team the same way you would communicate with your accounting staff
if they were in the same office. You will have control over your Virtual
CPB/CPA team through the use of a dedicated telephone line, specialized meeting
software, conference calls, e-mail, and instant messaging.
How Do I Access My Businesses Financial Information In A Realtime Environment
Without Being In The Same Office
VBI, LLC is able to provide you with a Realtime environment by giving your
company a secure server accessable via the internet which includes a desktop
and the appropriate accounting/office applications. This technology allows
you and your CPB/CPA team to access your financial information simultaneously,
just like in a traditional accounting office where all the computers are linked
to the same server. Only your CPB/CPA team and the people you designate will
have access to your financial information. All of this can be accessed at anytime
from anywhere via an internet connection. Your financial information and data
integrity is a top priority to VBI, LLC. We will provide you with the same
security that any major financial institution, such as a bank would provide
you with. Please click here to learn more about how your data is stored, backed
up, and secured.
What is the Realtime Bookkeeping system and e-Dashboard™?
The Realtime Bookkeeping system provides a unique environment via the internet
where you can upload, view, print, and file your accounting documents and
access your businesses accounting software and files all from within the
same software. You simply scan in your source documents and view them in
your e-Dashboard™ software and from there your CPA/CPB team retrieves
the information and inputs the data, then files the documents electronically
in easy to manage electronic file cabinets. From the e-Dashboard™ you
can re-print invoices, print or view any financial report, or even look at
last years taxes. Please call us at 1-800-450-9812 for a free live demonstration!
How Will I Get My Business Documents To My CPB/CPA Team
Once you have decided that VBI, LLC is a good fit for your business needs, we
will then decide what the best way is for our company to retrieve your source
documents (bills, invoices, receipts, etc.). Usually, our clients either scan
and upload their source documents or fax them. There are other options, but
these are the quickest, safest, and most reliable ones to convert paper source
documents into an electronic format which then can be shared and filed in a
paperless environment.
How Much Will This Cost My Business
Each business is unique and we custimize a program to fit each client based
on their individual needs. If you have decided that you would like more information
about the virtual bookkeeping/accounting services VBI, LLC provides, the
first step would be to call us at 1-800-450-9812 to request a quote. We will
then
e-mail you a form to fill out and send back to us via e-mail. We will have
your quote to you within 24 business hours. Pricing is based on your businesses
monthly transaction volume.

What versions of QuickBooks™ do you support?
Do to the fact that Intuit, the maker of QuickBooks™ discontinues support
from time to time on outdated versions of QuickBooks we currently support versions
2006, 2007, and 2008 Premier and Enterprise Solutions. Please check back with
this page often for an updated list.
Does My Business Have To Sign A Contract For A Certain Length Of
Time
Our charges are incurred on a monthly basis, therefore a businesses contract
with us would only be from month to month. If you decide that virtual online
accounting is not for your business, you can cancel at anytime during the month
and you will only be billed for the time VBI, LLC worked on your business. Since
your business does not pay for services in advance, we will bill you at a pro-rated
amount.
What Control Does VBI, LLC Have Over My Businesses Bank Accounts and Books
NONE! We simply do the work so you don't have to. In a traditional accounting
office there are controls put in place to prevent theft. VBI, LLC has went
to great lengths to ensure your that your businesses financial information
cannot be manipulated in any way. We do not access your physical bank accounts.
Your CPB/CPA team inputs all the bills that need to be paid and then sends you
the accounts payable report so that you (the business owner) decide who gets
paid and how much. You simply send the report back to your CPB/CPA team and they
will pay and print your checks right to your local printer for you to sign and
mail. It's that simple! Call 1-800-450-9812 to request a free live demonstration.
