How to Hire a Filipino Bookkeeper? – Practical Advice

Bookkeeping is the process of recording and organizing a business’s financial transactions. It’s also one of those routine, boring jobs that, as a business owner, you don’t need to do yourself.

You’d be doing yourself a disservice if you’re still the one handling the bookkeeping. Hiring a Filipino bookkeeper is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your business. Bookkeeping is such a repetitive task—you don’t have to be the one doing it. You’re the CEO of your business! Find someone else to handle it—and do it at a very affordable rate.

Finding someone in the Philippines to do your bookkeeping is easy! Here are 7 steps to do it:

  1. Determine exactly what you’re looking for
  2. Head over to OnlineJobs.ph and browse resumes
  3. Post a job on OnlineJobs.ph
  4. Interview applicants through email
  5. Narrow down candidates with a test
  6. Negotiate terms
  7. Give someone the job

Easy, right? Watch the video where I talk about these steps in detail, and you’ll be well on your way to finding the bookkeeper that’s the right fit for you.

Online Filipino Specialists—I call them specialists because they specialize in doing something (in this case, bookkeeping)—can be hired to handle just about anything in your business. They’re not just VAs anymore. Anything that can be done online can be done by a Filipino specialist.

Head over to our Outsourcing Education page for more practical advice on outsourcing.

If you’d rather hear directly from entrepreneurs who’ve already made the jump and hired VAs, check out this list of reviews on OnlineJobs.ph.

I also have a new book I’m giving away for free: The Outsourcing Lever. It shares how I’ve done outsourcing over the years. You can get more information here.

Lastly, if you want to see more videos, visit our YouTube channel or Facebook page for more outsourcing tips. You can also check out how to get started hiring Rockstar Virtual Assistants.
