How do I get more information?
Most small businesses fail within the first 3 years. The number one reason is that they fail to seize opportunities and realize ways to maximize their profits and sales. A bookkeeper can help identify these opportunities and pitfalls and work with you so that you and your business can succeed!
We are a small company, will you work with us?
Absolutely, we specialize with small and medium companies from various industries. Regardless of your company size your projects and tasks get the same amount of dedication and attention. Our goal is to provide you with accurate information so that you can use to grow your business successfully.
How do we get our source information to you?
You can mail/email your source documents (check stubs, bank statement, credit card statement, etc.).
First off, your business is assigned to a professional bookkeeper who has an extensive interview with you to get to know your business and its unique requirements. Your Bookkeeper becomes a trusted advisor who thoroughly understands your business and its needs.
Then your Bookkeeper manages the regular updating of your books with all transactions, deposits and checks, and payables and receivables. At month's-end, we create financial reports for you that give you an accurate picture of your businesses' finances.
First, call or email 
to discuss your individual requirements. Once we have tailored a custom package for you, there are a few simple steps to getting started:
1. We'll send you an engagement letter that outlines what we are going to do for you. You sign this and return it to us with a set up fee.
2. You send us your set-up source documents and your QuickBooks® file (if any).
4. Your Bookkeeper will get started on setting up your books and contact you!
What if I'm a few months behind?
Most businesses are a few months behind in their bookkeeping when they come to Badger Bookkeeping. That is precisely why they need us - because it is difficult to stay on top of your books and run a demanding business! It's simple - you send us the source documents (bank statements, credit card statements, etc.) for the current year, your Bookkeeper will take it from there, catching you up and getting you current so you have an accurate picture of your business finances.
Wouldn't I be better off hiring an in-house bookkeeper?
In most cases, no. To hire an in-house bookkeeper, first you must find that person, check their credentials, negotiate a salary, hire and train them, and manage them. That can be very expensive both in time and money for a business owner. If the person you hire is part-time, you must manage their hours and will only have access to them when they are at work. If they go on vacation, get sick, or leave your employ, you may have a large gap in your accounting and payroll. Furthermore, in some cases, there can be security concerns when only one person has access to all your business financial information, data, bank accounts, statements, and checks.
Badger Bookkeeping’s clients find that our affordable and efficient services, combined with the continuity, security, and reliability of working with an outsourced solution, are a far better value than hiring an in-house person.
Our services are billed at a monthly rate determined by the nature of the work involved. Because your personal Bookkeeper is committed to you and your business, you are never surprised by a huge, unexpected bill. Badger Bookkeeping believes in open lines of communications. There are never any hidden or extra charges for client consultations at any time. We'll tailor a package and price based on your needs. We will design a solution specifically for you. We save each of our clients’ money every month. Find out how you can benefit too.
