Bookkeeping Services Outsourcing That Keeps Your Business on Track
Bookkeeping that's done every month, not in a panic before the tax deadline. GetFriday gives you a dedicated bookkeeper who works in QuickBooks, Xero or whatever you use, and keeps your numbers current enough to make decisions from.
Outsourced bookkeeping that keeps your books up to date
When reconciliations and invoices slip, the cost isn't just a stressful year-end. You lose sight of how the business is doing right now. Most small businesses don't need a full-time accountant. They need someone reliable keeping the books current every month.
Our virtual bookkeepers work in your existing accounting software and follow your chart of accounts and reporting preferences from the first day.
Since 2005 we've worked with more than 15,000 clients, on flexible plans with no long-term contract.

Case study: an online retailer catches up six months of books before tax season
The problem
A growing online retailer had fallen nearly six months behind on reconciliations. Sales were up, but the owner couldn't see margins, what was owed to suppliers or how much cash was really in the bank. Tax season was close.
A full-time accountant felt like too big a step for a business that size, but the backlog was too large to clear alongside running the shop.
What we did
The retailer brought in a dedicated GetFriday bookkeeper to work through a clean-up and catch-up in their existing QuickBooks account.
The bookkeeper cleared the backlog and then took on ongoing work, including:
Account Clean-up & Catch-up
Cleared six months of unreconciled transactions and fixed duplicate entries
Bank & Credit Card Reconciliation
Set up a monthly reconciliation routine from then on
Accounts Payable & Receivable
Organised supplier bills and customer invoices so the owner could see what was outstanding
Financial Reporting
Started sending a monthly P&L and cash flow report written for a non-accountant
What changed
With a bookkeeper in place, the business was able to:
- Clear the six-month backlog before tax season
- See its cash position and margins at any time
- Keep the books current every month
- Give its tax preparer clean records with no surprises
- Make stock and spending decisions with real numbers

Get your monthly reports
Reconciliations and reports arrive on schedule, and you can track the work in our online portal.
It varies. The main factors are how many transactions you have, how messy or complex your accounts are, which reports you need, what software you use, and how much professional expertise the work needs. Also, bookkeeping support isn’t the same thing as full accounting or tax advice. Get in touch and we’ll share our current pricing, what’s included, and any extra fees.
We might be able to handle the admin side, such as keeping records, sorting invoices, updating trackers, and following the process you’ve already documented. Payment approvals, fund transfers, credit decisions and regulated accounting work are a different story. Those have to be clearly defined and authorized by you. And before you give us access to any financial systems, let’s agree on the exact scope.
Generally, yes, on the admin side. We can enter details, organize documents, update records, check information against the instructions you’ve approved, and keep track of anything still outstanding. What we can do depends on the systems and processes you use. Before we begin, set approval rules, access permissions and checks for your financial records.
It depends on our availability, how many transactions you have, your accounting software, what shape your records are in, and how long setting up access and instructions takes. After we’ve seen what you need, we’ll give you a realistic timeline for getting started. It moves faster when you send the right documents early and make it clear who’s doing what.
We may be able to help organize your bookkeeping data and put together routine reports, reconciliations and financial summaries, where we offer that. It depends on the work and the qualifications it requires. For audit opinions, tax advice and regulated financial analysis, you’ll want properly qualified professionals.
Yes, within what we offer. We can build the support around your transaction volume, your accounting software, how often you want reports, and the workflows you’ve already documented. Before we start, agree on who’s responsible for what, what the reports look like, how reconciliations are handled, and what needs your review or sign-off.
A good chunk of the routine work: expense tracking, invoice management, accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliation, keeping financial records current, and bookkeeping data entry. We keep your books organized and up to date, so month end doesn’t turn into a scramble.

I have used GetFriday for years and I'm very happy with their services. I've had several VAs during these years and have been happy with all of them. The transition between the VAs has run smoothly. My current VA is always thorough in performing the tasks I send to her, and the turn-around is excellent. I can recommend using GetFriday for many different tasks. Personally, I've used them daily for data entry, CMS management, invoicing, online research, travel management and much more.
