A bookkeeping virtual assistant keeps your financial records clean, current, and audit-ready so you can focus on running the business instead of chasing receipts. Go Hire Virtual matches you with detail-oriented professionals experienced in the accounting tools small businesses actually use, giving you accurate books without the overhead of a full-time in-house hire.
Whether you are a solo founder, an agency, or a growing e-commerce brand, disorganized books cost you money in missed deductions, late invoices, and hours you could spend elsewhere. A dedicated specialist gives you a reliable rhythm: transactions recorded daily, accounts reconciled monthly, and reports ready whenever you or your accountant need them.
What a Bookkeeping Virtual Assistant Handles
- Recording daily transactions and reconciling bank and credit card accounts
- Managing accounts payable and accounts receivable, including invoicing and follow-ups
- Categorizing expenses and maintaining an organized chart of accounts
- Preparing monthly profit-and-loss and balance sheet reports
- Tracking receipts, mileage, and documentation for tax season
- Working inside QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, or your existing accounting platform
Beyond the day-to-day, your assistant can help you spot cash-flow trends, flag overdue invoices before they become a problem, and prepare the clean records your CPA needs at year end. Many clients pair this role with an administrative virtual assistant or an executive assistant to cover the wider back office.
Who Benefits Most
Small businesses, agencies, contractors, and online sellers get the most value. If you are still doing your own books at night, mixing personal and business expenses, or scrambling every tax season, handing the work to a specialist pays for itself quickly in time saved and deductions captured. You stay in control while someone else keeps the ledger accurate.
Why Businesses Choose Go Hire Virtual
Our VAs are vetted for accuracy and discretion, trained on common accounting workflows, and backed by a dedicated account manager. You keep full ownership of your books and access at all times, and you get consistent support that scales with your business. Explore our full range of virtual assistant services to see how bookkeeping fits alongside admin, sales, and marketing support.
Getting Started
We begin with a short discovery call to understand your accounting stack, reporting needs, and monthly volume. From there we match you with a candidate, set up secure access through your software’s user roles, and establish a reconciliation and reporting schedule so you always know where the numbers stand.
Pricing
Support starts at $14/hour for our Professional VA tier, which covers reconciliation, reporting, and dedicated financial workflows. Lighter data-entry and receipt-management tasks fit our General VA tier at $12/hour. The right mix is sized during your free task audit, so you only pay for the level of support you actually need.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I still need an accountant or CPA?
Yes. A bookkeeping virtual assistant handles day-to-day record keeping and organization, while your accountant or CPA handles tax filing, strategy, and formal financial statements. The two work together, and clean books make your accountant’s job faster and cheaper.
Which accounting software do your VAs use?
Our team works in QuickBooks Online, Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, and most major platforms. If you already have a system in place, we match you with someone experienced in that tool so there is no migration required. You can review security features on official sites such as QuickBooks.
How do you keep my financial data secure?
You control all logins and access, and we recommend granting permissions through your software’s user-role settings rather than sharing passwords. VAs sign confidentiality agreements, and you can revoke access at any time.
