Bookkeeper for hire

December 2, 2010 Anthony Comments off

Yes! I am available to the highest bidder!

Actually this is not an auction, but since becoming independent, I have discovered the need to continually plug myself in order to attract new clients and employers. If you found this article, it is likely you have come from my linked in account. Below is a snapshot of what I offer to all my clients, employers and friends. If you are thinking about hiring a bookkeeper, give me a call. I won’t charge you for asking a couple simple questions. I’m not a lawyer after all…

Contacting me is pretty easy as I monitor the blog daily to clear out the pesky spam this site keeps getting.

Accounting 7 yrs Experience

As a professional bookkeeping and accounting systems advisor, I provide strategies that allow clients/employers more time to market, sell, and operate their benefit revenue stream. My goal is to assist your identification of additional revenue streams, streamline your accounting procedures and develop variance budgeting. Experience with personal budgets & real estate development accounting has proven that a 4 year budget is the slimmest of cash flow forecasts. I believe in targeting a 12 year forecast including lean and robust years of growth.

I have developed methods any small business can implement. My clients enjoy access to information security, near paperless operations, email on a localized computer, online video conferencing, an online mailing solution, and an advisor who does not charge by the minute when contracting.

My network of professionals and affiliations with local Chambers of Commerce, Business Networking International, the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers, and Biznik online presents access to hundreds of professionals in many fields.

Employment in Accounting Today

November 16, 2010 Anthony 2 comments

Employment in the accounting field is strong, and it’s likely to remain that way; according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, accountants and auditors are expected to undergo rapid growth in employment between now and the year 2018. But accounting students, recent graduates, and anyone else planning the transition to a new accounting career should obtain practical skills in advance to maximize their chances of landing a good job. Learning to use accounting software is critical for reaching this goal.

To find out which tech skills are in the highest demand, I’ve gone over five hundred randomly selected accounting job postings from Monster.com, Career Builder, Craigslist, Simply Hired, and Accounting Jobs Today to see which software systems employers mentioned the most. I’ve discovered some valuable lessons for those looking to build up their accounting software skill set.

Key Takeaways

There’s no doubt that you simply must know Microsoft Excel to be marketable for a job in accounting. But the more sophisticated software – including deeper accounting and enterprise resource planning (ERP) software systems – are a little less obvious. These are the key research findings that will help you get a job:

When finding your first job, look for a company that uses a “big name,” widely-used accounting system like SAP, Microsoft Dynamics or Oracle. That will improve your odds of getting hired next time you’re in the market for a new position.
More and more companies are focused on business intelligence – the tools that analyze financial data to uncover business trends and opportunities. Try to gain experience in Business Objects, Crystal Reports, Cognos, etc.
If you’re looking to work in a big corporation, you should learn systems like SAP and Oracle. If mid-size companies are your preference, learn Sage and Microsoft Dynamics. Quickbooks skills are always in demand, but especially by smaller companies.
As the Microsoft Dynamics products converge, knowing any one of these systems will give you transferable skills across the entire Dynamics product line. For now, Dynamics GP appears to be in highest demand.
Don’t get too comfortable with PeopleSoft or JD Edwards; although they are often mentioned by employers, they’re likely to decline in use as Oracle migrates to its Fusion apps. But it’ll take a while, so skills with these systems are still valuable.

Want to help our patriots in their time of need?

I’ve always wanted to do something magnificent. Now I finally have my chance to help others where I did not have help myself. My own military career ended in 1992. Back then, there was only the local employment office where a serviceman could be treated like a human being instead of an uneducated hack.

Today there are several recruiting companies, temp agencies and other professional organizations to assist in finding a living wage employment opportunity. How times have changed! This year I stumbled upon a website that looks to help our military veterans (milvets) while they are still on active duty OR when they happen to be between jobs OR when they simply wish to reach a hand out to the community.

Local residents and small business owners nearby any military base can now post their small one-day job on hirepatriots.com to find a polite, hard-working individual. Have a garage to clean out and wish you had an extra pair of hands to help out? Have you been injured and can’t push the lawn mower and really need to get that grass cut?

Our troops have largely heard of this website and comb it regularly looking for something to do. How about you give them a hand and post a job?

Its Free!
