Q. What is online bookkeeping?
A. Virtual Biz Services uses the power of the internet to provide our clients with secure and confidential access to their accounts 24/7, anywhere you have access to a broadband connection. The data is backed up to a separate site daily, and the latest technology and encryption is used to insure your data is secure.
Q. Why let VBiz do my bookkeeping and administration?
A. Let a professional do a professional’s job. You want to focus your time and energy on business strategy and goals. Outsourcing the bookkeeping function to a dedicated, highly skilled professional services firm allows you to do exactly that. By outsourcing your bookkeeping to Vbiz, you'll save valuable time in your day, reduce operating costs, and gain peace of mind.
Q. How can VBiz bookkeeping help me manage my business?
A. If you have been doing the bookkeeping yourself, you can finally free up your time to focus on more important aspects of your business. You’ll be able to make informed decisions based on more than just your cash balance at the bank.
VBiz bookkeeping can give your company accurate financial data so that your most successful customers and/or products are determined. You can also concentrate on the more profitable aspects of your business. This capability allows a business owner to invest more energy and resource where it is essentially required. You maintain full control and access to your information, while VBiz performs all of your bookkeeping tasks and updates your accounting records. Truly the best of both worlds.
Q. Won’t I lose control if the books are done by an outside service?
A. No. You will actually have more control since you will have improved financials at your fingertips and have more time and money to plan instead of simply reacting to business events.
faq's: data access & security
Q. How will I obtain access to my accounting material?
A. Acess is via a128 encrypted programme (the highest possible encryption). Your every keystroke is encrypted and the key code for this is frequently changed whilst on line.
The latest Cisco firewalls control access before our unique three tier password system lets you have access to your accounts.
Q. Can other people access my data?
A. No one can have access to your data without your company’s express permission. Security measures are taken to make sure that your information is protected. Each company’s data is uniquely password protected.
Q. What about security?
A. This is one of our favourite questions. Right now if you are like most of us, your accounting records are in an unlocked file cabinet or worse, sitting on someone’s desk. This is what we call bad security. VBiz use the same level of encryption that a major corporation uses. You can be assured that you and only you are privy to your most important data.
faq's: keeping my current accountant
Q. Do I have to leave my current accountant?
A. Of course not. We are offering to take away your bookkeeping headaches. Your current accountant will be grateful for accurate data that they can rely on to help you build more wealth. Our philosophy is to work with our clients’ accountants to seamlessly integrate with their business. But should you require it, we would be glad to talk to you about providing business and individual tax preparation services from our linked accountants. VBiz is prepared to be a one-stop solution for all your financial needs.
Q. Does my accountant have access to my books?
A. Only with your express permission! By allowing your accountant to access your data from his premises, your accountant can review or change your data files while you are also using the accounting software. This can be accomplished without you having to make a backup or having to stop using the system while your accountant is working on your data. You can continue with your work without any interruptions. No more running backup diskettes to your accountant. This alone adds up to huge savings in time and money.
