What is Remote Bookkeeping? Simply put, remote bookkeeping is when a company outsources its bookkeeping needs. It can be done by a remote, but local, bookkeeping company or it can be done from anywhere in the world by a remote, virtual bookkeeping company.

Ultimately, assess whether bookkeeping aligns with your long-term goals and passions within the accounting and finance field. If you're someone who enjoys number-crunching, keeping things organised, being detailed, using bookkeeping software, and talking to clients, you might just be a bookkeeper in the making.

Generally, a bookkeeper is considered to be less experienced and less expensive than an accountant. Accountants need to have a degree, experience, and some sort of certification, whereas their less-experienced counterparts do not. Often, bookkeepers become accountants and are overseen by accountants.
