A group of accounting and bookkeeping professionals under the umbrella group called Accounting Troubleshooters is providing a much needed service for small and microbusinesses in North America.

Many small business, especially start-ups cannot afford to hire a full-time accountant.  This is when the services of an Accounting Troubleshooter Associate is most appreciated.  An Accounting Troubleshooter Associate can assist small businesses in the set up, training and installation of accounting software package, and let the business owner take over the daily recording of transactions.  The Associate is available to provide assistance as needed, without being employed on a full time basis.

Accounting Troubleshooters Associates are often called in to fill-in for employees on sick leave, vacation or family leave.    The group has the names of associates listed on their website, so companies requiring short term staffing need can phone these associates directly.

In an interview with an Accounting Troubleshooter Associate,  it was noted that she was often called in to solve some of the most toughest problems.  “In one case, the client’s accounting data was corrupted for 8 months before management know about it, so I had to recreate the data, while running parallel set of books for some time.  I always tell my clients to check their data integrity on a regular basis.”

Accounting Troubleshooters are not tied with a particular software company, so they are in a good position to recommend suitable accounting software.  Shannon said “I am both a Quickbook and Simply Accounting consultant, and I’ve had cases where a client phoned wanting to switch from Simply to Quickbooks, because they did not know that Simply can do what they wanted to do.  It is just a matter of customized on-the-site training.  Classroom training is usually very general, and does not cover all possible circumstances.”
