Professionals who handle all the work—including the bookkeeping—on their own can benefit from online, cloud-based financial management tools that streamline the payment process and save time. Consider some benefits that online software can offer companies run by only one or two people:
Automating tools eliminate a substantial amount of manual data entry required for creating and updating records. Automating tools that connect to one another can sync payment and payroll data across multiple platforms at once, eliminating the need for users to manually enter the same transactional data numerous times, in various places, which can lead to inconsistencies in the records.
Multiple people doing the bookkeeping can lead to mistakes when a singular, standardized system is not rigorously followed. Software tools can help systematize processes, but device-specific downloads are difficult to share among many people, and they often don’t allow for remote access or real-time updating. Online tools for accounting and payroll offer sharable features that simplify and streamline multi-user access and keep everyone on the same page with up-to-the-minute data.
Even a business without employees may still have freelancers and contractors to pay from time to time. Online payment software can provide tools to calculate payment checks and record and store the data for later accounting and tax preparation, as well as for better record-keeping in general. And when the business grows to the point of needing employees, online payroll software can help make the paycheck calculation and delivery process less complicated.
Checkeeper offers solorpeneurs and partner owners:
Checkeeper puts no limits on the number of checks you print each month or the number of templates you create. There are no extra fees for heavy account usage, so solopreneurs are free to print as many or as a few checks as their payment needs dictate. A free trial—followed by an affordable monthly subscription—unlocks all the features of unlimited check printing for as long as you operate the account.
Save the time you would normally have to spend entering payment transaction data by letting Checkeeper do it for you automatically. Every account comes with an online registry that automatically records and stores the details of each check created. The registry can be searched according to any check field or any custom time frame when you need to pull up a more comprehensive list of checks issued within a given month, quarter, or year. Enhance accuracy and reduce the errors inherent to manual data entry with an automated registry that never omits or incorrectly records check information.
Checkeeper works for many solopreneurs as a stand-alone service for check printing and mailing, but it can also work as an add-on to other financial software to offer customizing check options to the array of payment tools already available. Checkeeper integrates with QuickBooks Online, Gusto, Square, Xero, Odoo, and more, syncing check data with the other platforms and offering a streamlined way to issue payments to freelancers, contractors, suppliers, and other occasional or regular vendors you depend on to conduct business.
When the bookkeeping becomes too complex, time-consuming, or burdensome, many entrepreneurs look into taking on some professional bookkeeping assistance. Checkeeper makes it easy to share the work with a co-owner or an outsourced assistant. Professional bookkeepers and accountants are familiar with online check printing, and Checkeeper was designed with them in mind. Link a virtual bookkeeper or assistant to the Checkeeper account for no added fee to authorize them to issue payments on the business’s behalf. Limit the user permissions to only designated features, if necessary, and keep track of all the transactions initiated by secondary users. Business owners who are already working with a business partner can invite the partner to share access to the Checkeeper account, adding efficiency, convenience, and accountability to the payment process.
Printing your own checks on demand is a great way to save time and money and add efficiency to the payment process; an even better way is to have Checkeeper do all the work for you. Checkeeper can print ordered payment checks from their fulfillment center and have them in the mail, typically within the business day, according to the priority delivery speed chosen. Have a one-time, high-volume check order that exceeds the time and resources you have available? Checkeeper prints orders of hundreds and thousands of checks for customer rebates, refunds, settlement payouts, and other mass payment types so that busy offices do not have to. A call or email can get you a custom quote and time frame for large orders.
Solopreneurs learn to work effectively from a lot of different sites, including home, client locations, and even vehicles when necessary. Checkeeper is cloud-based and optimized for mobile so that it can travel where you do. Access your account from anywhere, using any device you work with, and print checks on any standard home or office printer. Don’t have a printer handy? Checkeeper offers online check printing and mailing services for busy professionals who don’t have the supplies or the time.
