When there doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day for all the important tasks that need to get done, routine bookkeeping tasks tend to get pushed off until another time. While they may not seem urgent, postponing and neglecting the financial management can lead to expensive consequences. Online check printing streamlines the bookkeeping and payment processes, and saves thousands of business owners valuable hours (and dollars) every month. If you've never tried online check printing, consider six signs it's time to upgrade to Checkeeper:

1.   You are taking on an additional revenue stream

If your business is expanding, or if you are adding a second revenue stream, you may need to pay expenses from more than one checking account or track them separately. Checkeeper makes it easy to add secondary or tertiary business ventures to your online check printing account. Add the name and contact info for each new business inside your ‘Administration,’ and create a separate subscription that can still be accessed from within your current login and dashboard. Each new business will have its own online registry, check templates, and saved settings so that payments can be issued and expenses can be tracked more accurately and efficiently. Instead of operating multiple logins, accounts, passwords, and dashboards, consolidate your check-printing access and keep records in one convenient online location.

2.   You’re spending money on late payments and fees

Late payments to your vendors and creditors can damage your reputation, affect your credit, and incur late fees, penalties, and potential interest charges that get you nothing of value in return. And while a lot of online payment options are available to submit last-minute payments, many come with their own fees and service charges that are passed on to you. Checkeeper makes routine bill-paying as simple and streamlined an affair as possible with one fixed monthly fee that enables unlimited checks: create needed checks on demand, or upload a CSV file with invoice and payee data to create multiple checks at once; save even more time and money by integrating your Checkeeper account with other online payment software to directly convert unpaid invoices into checks, complete with attached invoice tables.

3.   You aren’t keeping track of your expenses

Don’t know where all your money is going every month? When the bookkeeping falls into neglect, it is easy to go off-budget and let spending get excessive. Checkeeper makes analyzing and tracking expenses a simpler process by keeping an automated, online record of every check created. Access your online registry from anywhere, and search it according to any check field, including date, payee, amount, or memo, when you need to research a payment. When it’s time to reconcile accounts, analyze spending, or turn over records to your accountant, Checkeeper makes it simple run clean reports according to any date range. Need a comprehensive report for all checks created? Export your entire check history in only a few clicks.

4.   You have recently adopted an online accounting software

Online financial tools for businesses have made routine bookkeeping, payroll, and bill-paying a more automated, efficient, and accurate process for a lot less of an investment than in the past. While online accounting and bookkeeping software can help improve financial management, not all programs come equipped with customized check-printing options. Checkeeper can work alongside virtually any system you use, and it can integrate with many other widely-used accounting and payroll software services designed for small businesses.

5.   You have a large, one-time check order

Even if you can handle your typical monthly check volume from your office, there may be times when a large volume of checks needs to go out. Checkeeper handles high-volume check orders for customer refunds, rebates, settlement disbursements, reimbursements, and other one-time check distributions that exceed the supplies and resources most offices can handle. A call or email can get you a custom quote for a large, time-sensitive order. Checkeeper can also assist with large batches of payroll checks that can be in the mail—delivered directly to your employees or back to your own office—expediently and efficiently.

6.   Your usual payment service has shut down

The recent global tech outage is not the first time companies have had to address a large-scale disruption to their system for handling payroll and payables. When the software or service your business typically uses to disburse payments is suddenly shut down or discontinued, Checkeeper steps in with ready-to-go, on-demand, unlimited check printing. Checkeeper can be adopted within minutes so that payments and paychecks can continue to be issued on time. Use Checkeeper for as long or short a term as needed—a free trial followed by a no-commitment monthly subscription allows users to try Checkeeper without risk and cancel anytime.

Online check printing and mailing has been used by hundreds of thousands of businesses, bookkeepers, law firms, nonprofits, organizations, and individuals for over a decade. Checkeeper makes the upgrade to online check printing fast, simple, and affordable.
