Thought About Hiring An OFS Bookkeeper? – Practical Advice

I know what you’re thinking. You’re wondering if you’ll ever find someone with specific skills on Onlinejobs.ph. 

The short answer is YES.

Let me share Rhonda’s Online Filipino Specialist, Clarice, does for her business.

So, Clarice is not your average Online Filipino Specialist. She’s a powerhouse, handling everything from sales tax returns to government reports, licenses, insurance audits, and all those odd tasks that come out of left field. But that’s not all – during COVID, she helped Rhonda with the information and application for assistance, following up diligently despite ever-changing requirements.

And here’s the kicker – Clarice even took charge of the entire audit requirement for the external auditor. Yeah, you read that right. Her OFS handled the audit. Now, if that doesn’t scream amazing, I don’t know what does!

Rhonda points out how, before stumbling upon Clarice on Onlinejobs.ph, they considered their accountant for bookkeeping. The catch? It was merely data entry. Clarice, on the other hand, is no ordinary bookkeeper. She’s more like an office manager and a full-charge bookkeeper, juggling payments, questioning odd amounts, ensuring invoices are on point, and a million other things that make the business run like a well-oiled machine.

Here’s the scoop – Clarice started right out of college with zero experience in electronic bookkeeping. But guess what? She picked up QuickBooks desktop in a flash and even ran both desktop and online versions side by side to ensure seamless operation.

Rhonda admits it was nerve-wracking part to give access to the books and accounts to someone in a foreign country. She said she was skeptical but decided to take the chance. And oh boy, did it pay off! Clarice became an integral part of their team, handling responsibilities that most business owners could only dream of delegating.

Clarice’s story is just one of many success stories, proving that investing in training and providing stability can lead to incredible results.

OneVAAway.com is the step-by-step approach Rhonda used to find Clarice. It’s all about starting slow, finding someone eager to learn, and fostering a culture of happy and supportive feedback.
