Can a virtual assistant handle bookkeeping for a small business?

Yes. TaskBullet's accounting virtual assistants handle day-to-day bookkeeping including transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, invoicing, and expense tracking. Complex tax preparation or compliance work is routed to specialist accountants from the same bucket.

What accounting software do your VAs work with?

Our accounting VAs work with QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, FreshBooks, Wave, and most major accounting platforms. They can also work in spreadsheet-based systems or your existing workflow.

Is it safe to give a VA access to financial records?

Yes. TaskBullet uses role-based access with minimum necessary permissions. VAs sign confidentiality agreements. All activity is logged and monitored by your US-based account manager. We recommend using software guest/accountant access rather than sharing primary login credentials.

How is an accounting VA different from a bookkeeper?

An accounting virtual assistant handles the day-to-day operational tasks — data entry, invoice management, expense tracking, reconciliation — that keep your records current. A bookkeeper or CPA handles period-end work, tax filings, and compliance. TaskBullet's accounting VAs are designed to reduce the prep work your bookkeeper or CPA spends billed time on.

Delegation workflow

How delegation works with a Accounting Virtual Assistant

TaskBullet turns virtual assistant work into a managed process: flexible hours, a dedicated account manager, Basecamp task flow, time tracking in ops, and specialist routing when a task needs a different skill set.

Step 1

Pick Your Bucket of Hours

Select an initial bucket of hours that fits your estimated workload. Hours are flexible, roll over for 90 days, and require no long-term contracts.

Step 2

Attend the Welcome Call

Meet your dedicated US-based Account Manager and your new virtual assistant. Align on your initial task list, tools, and communication preferences.

Step 3

Delegate via Basecamp

Submit your tasks in your dedicated Basecamp workspace. Your account manager ensures work is routed to your dedicated VA, or to specialists if the task requires a different skill set.

Step 4

Review Work and Scale

Review completed deliverables. All time spent is tracked transparently and deducted from your bucket (ops.taskbullet.com). Unused hours roll over for 90 days so you can scale efficiently.
