FAQ – Outsourced Bookkeeping

Outsourced bookkeeping is when a business partners with a third-party provider like RemoteBooksOnline to handle their financial recordkeeping, rather than hiring an in-house bookkeeper or accountant.

It’s more affordable, scalable, and reliable. You avoid payroll costs, save time, reduce errors, and get CPA-reviewed reports without needing to manage staff.

Outsourcing is ideal for small to mid-sized businesses that need accurate financials but don’t want to hire full-time staff. It’s especially helpful during growth, tax season, or staff turnover.
