Questions on accounting services
What kind of work do you do?
I do tutoring, accounting on Quickbooks Online, training on Quickbooks online and Xero. I am Quickbooks online certified and I’m a qualified accountant.
Will you work with someone who wants to keep doing accounting?
Yes but it has to be clearly defined and the client needs to be comfortable with their area. Duplication of work should be avoided.
Is it good for someone to proceed with their accounts or be cautious?
Sometimes it’s easy to think you can call on the accountant after you get stuck but in my experience it’s harder to fix any problems then as opposed to the beginning of the job.
Can you help with filing payroll tax?
Yes
Can you do Quickbooks Online training?
Yes
Quickbooks Desktop and Quickbooks online are different. Why do you favour Quickbooks online?
I favour Quickbooks Online as it’s easier to share the work and there is less updating.
Please see link below for further information.

Do you recommend spreadsheets?
Not instead of an accounting system as formulas can be accidentally changed, spreadsheets can disappear and there is too much creativity. They are often harder to follow. Spreadsheets can, however be uploaded into Quickbooks or Xero.
How do you share documentation?
From a shoebox
From a Shared Google Drive or OneDrive folder
By asking the client on a regular basis for supporting documentation.
Can you password protect?
Yes. Bank statements and other pdf files can easily be password protected.
I’m not comfortable with security.
That’s fine. You take back the documents and store them. Keeping them online and not sharing them after the accountant has finished may make it easier to find things. Sharing them of course makes it easier for both parties.
How do you meet deadlines when you have a job in school?
I return home by 4:15pm and can work in the evening and often at weekends. Deadlines fall at different times.
What is the free consultation you offer?
I offer one hour to listen to what the potential client wants to talk about and determine if we would be a good fit.
What is your best fit client-wise?
I like the client to communicate consistently and clearly. Getting support can be a challenge. The client may be busy but not having to wait too long is more efficient which will be reflected in a lower bill. Towards the end of the assignment there will usually be more questions. It’s fine to tell the accountant when you will get back to them.
Why are you motivated to do this?
Most clients are innovative with their chosen field and while some may make good accountants and just require a little help (this needs to be defined) others want to concentrate on their occupation. I spent many years in an office but more recently I taught accounting and helping small companies which makes me feel good.

About me
My story started in 2016 when I began teaching accounting classes at Bermuda College.
I found that students often had difficulty with the material and I did one on one tutoring to help them improve their knowledge and confidence. I did not qualify quickly and I was a mature student. I got the chance to explore the material and retained it. I am sympathetic to mature students and to those who need help with their study habits.
I started my Company Accountancy Tamer in July 2019 and have tutored clients and my other passion is helping small and new businesses with accounting systems. I either train them or do the work myself.
I not only offer accounting services but also hands on training on accounting systems So clients can get a feel for accounting systems and double entry bookkeeping.
Some people don't have the time for accounting, preferring to concentrate on their business. Others can gain confidence by hands on experience and coaching.
I offer an initial free consultation.
Office work does not appeal any more. I prefer to help people. I have worked with half a dozen clients including a restaurant and some students.
I am results oriented. I am Quickbooks online certified.
I have helped a government department in Bermuda get their accounts up-to-date
I have taught 50 people accounting courses
I have tutored 12 people in accounting
I have developed accounting material for 50 hours of instruction
I have set up accounts on Quickbooks Online
