What outsourced bookkeeping means
Outsourced bookkeeping means a dedicated team outside your company manages your day-to-day financial records: categorizing transactions, reconciling bank accounts, and closing your books each month.
Who it works best for
Businesses that have outgrown a founder doing books on the side, but are not yet ready for a full-time in-house controller, tend to see the most value.
What the first 90 days look like
Expect an onboarding period to clean up historical records, followed by a steady monthly rhythm of reconciliation and reporting.
