Running a business takes a lot of know how. Not only do you need to be a master of your trade, whether it be landscaping or running a restaurant, but you also need to know the ins and outs of your bottom line. More specifically, bookkeeping is a reason for failure in many business ventures that people enter into. Looking for help only multiplies your problems, especially after you figure in the time spent interviewing potential employees, not to mention the money wasted after paying someone for a few months to have them not work out. And if you rely on professional headhunters, you are really giving way too much trust in a stranger’s judgment. A good accountant, while a necessity behind every well run business, is so hard to find.

A total of 5 bids were received, ranging from hourly rates of $28 to $35, with one provider giving a flat one-time fee of $800. Once the bids were received, the customer could average out the rate they felt comfortable paying and could then focus on quality of services provided.
