Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

I was under the impression that $25/hr was a good rate for general bookkeeping service. Guess it depends on the area.

I would think that a small business would only need a CPA for certifying year-end financials (if even necessary) and tax work, letting a less expensive bookkeeper handle the other work for them.

Sorry about the delay in response but I just heard of this website last night and registered today.

There is a website that you can use to search for individuals that are certified QuickBooks Advisors.  These certified QuickBooks Advisors go through a fairly significant training program that ensures they are knowledgeable in the setup and use of QuickBooks software.  I am certain that you will be able to find a few advisors in the Chicago area by using this website.  I am a certified QuickBooks Advisor and can assure you that my knowledge of QuickBooks increased dramatically throughout the training program. 

The webiste address is http://intuitmarket.intuit.com/QBA/ReferralDB/ReferralDataBa seMemberSearch.ASP

If you have any problems or would like more info feel free to let me know.
