Hello everybody, I need to employ someone for maintaining my accounts books and for that I am thinking of outsourcing the work. It is better to do this rather than keep an accountant on the run whole day. But, I want them to work on my pc, as I do not want to upload/scan the account books to other people on their place. I need something like remotely accessing the work that I provide. Can you give me some advice on providers of this criteria?

Yes, there are some of the providers that work on the concept of remote access. They provide their customers with different process options for doing the work remotely. I recently came across one outsourced bookkeeping company that has options for hosted, server-based and the one which you want – remote bookkeeping. This is indeed a good option as you won’t have to upload or give away any data and everything is done on your computers.

You want them to control your desktop remotely? this can be a laggy process and also gives them access to even more files. Have you considered uploading the files to a file hosting service?
