5 Things Checkeeper Reduces for Business Owners and Bookkeepers

In the market for online check printing and mailing services? Checkeeper software adds convenience and customization to the payment process. Consider five things Checkeeper can also reduce for busy professionals and entrepreneurs.

Time needed to get payments issued

Bookkeeping and tax preparation are often cited by small business owners as the biggest drains on their time. Accurate, up-to-date records are vital, but the time needed to maintain them is often cut into or spent on other urgent work. Checkeeper reduces the amount of time needed to get check payments out. Some options to try: Connect Checkeeper to Gusto, Square, or Patriot Payroll to run payroll and get printed paychecks in employee hands promptly. To have the work done for you, upload your CSV file into your Checkeeper account, and Checkeeper can print all your needed paychecks (with pay stubs) and send them back to your office the next day for onsite disbursement. Connect Checkeeper to Xero or Odoo to have your unpaid invoices converted directly into check payments automatically to save time and reduce paperwork. Have check payment data automatically synced inside FreshBooks or QuickBooks Online to save time otherwise spent on manual data entry.

Errors in payments and records

When the bookkeeping is all done manually, errors are common, and they can also be costly. Online, automating software programs for accounting and payroll help reduce the amount of manual data entry, which, in turn, reduces the overall number of mistakes related to omitted entries, duplicated entries, typos, computation errors, and miscalculations. Checkeeper integrates with many widely-used accounting and payroll software, including QuickBooks Online, Gusto, Square, FreshBooks, and more, so that data entered once can be updated simultaneously across other platforms. Checkeeper also provides an online registry for each account that automatically records and stores the details of each check created so that users don’t have to. If you have unpaid invoices in your Xero or Odoo account, you can link accounts to have data from the invoices imported into Checkeeper and converted into a check payment directly. Invoices due to the same vendor will be consolidated into a single check payment with an attached invoice table that breaks down the total. Bill-to-check conversion reduces both errors and paperwork, while streamlining the bookkeeping process for both payor and payee.

Amount of work you have to do yourself

While it is a common practice for small business owners and budding entrepreneurs to take on the majority of the work themselves, it is also an exhausting practice that can eventually lead to burnout. Being able to delegate some work—and outsource when necessary—can alleviate the heavy burden placed on one person, especially when it comes to laborious administrative and bookkeeping work. Checkeeper enables multiple-user access at the discretion of the account holder so that business owners can delegate some of the payment-issuing responsibilities to others when needed. Add a name and email for a user you want to authorize, and Checkeeper will email them a secure link for setting up their access. Limit the access to only designated features, and change or revoke the permissions at any time. Checkeeper does not charge additional fees to authorize multiple users or remote bookkeepers. The online account registry stores the details of each check created, including the name of the authorized user who initiated a payment, as well as the date and time, so that business owners can be assured of greater security and accountability.

Cost

Unlike software services that charge per user, per tier, per usage, or per feature, Checkeeper offers all of its options for one fixed monthly price. All accounts can be tried for free for the first 14 days and then adopted on a simple month-to-month plan, with no contract or long-term commitment needed. Print as many checks as necessary all month long for the same flat rate; add authorized users, upload logos, select software add-ons, and save multiple check templates for one affordable cost.

Stress

Printing and mailing your own checks on demand from the convenience of your home, office, client locale, or travel location is the most convenient and affordable way to issue check payments—except for having someone else do it for you. Outsource your check printing and mailing to Checkeeper to reduce the work and the stress. Checkeeper can issue checks for one-time, high-volume orders or for routine bill payments and paychecks. Try out the check printing and mailing services Checkeeper offers to reduce even more of the time required and stress incurred with getting payments sent out and accurately recorded.
