Clean books without the full-time hire

Small and growing businesses face a common dilemma: bookkeeping is essential, but it’s not complex enough to justify a $55,000-$75,000/year full-time accountant - yet it’s too important to do yourself between meetings. Invoices pile up, expenses go uncategorized, bank accounts stay unreconciled, and by tax season you’re scrambling to get your books in order. An accounting virtual assistant bridges this gap. They work inside your QuickBooks, Xero, or FreshBooks account to keep transactions categorized, invoices sent and tracked, bills paid on time, and bank accounts reconciled monthly. Our accounting VAs aren’t general virtual assistants learning accounting on the job - they arrive with bookkeeping training, accounting software certification, and experience maintaining books for businesses like yours.

What a dedicated accounting VA delivers

Always-Current Books

No more month-end scrambles. Your accounting VA categorizes transactions, reconciles accounts, and updates your books weekly so your financials are always current and audit-ready.

QuickBooks & Xero Certified

Our accounting VAs are trained and certified on QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, FreshBooks, and Wave. They know the software inside and out - no learning curve on your dime.

Invoice & AR Management

Your VA creates and sends invoices, tracks payments, follows up on overdue accounts, and applies payments in your system. Cash flow improves when invoices go out on time and collections happen consistently.

Expense Tracking & Categorization

Every receipt captured, every expense categorized to the correct account, every reimbursement processed. Your VA maintains clean expense records that make tax preparation straightforward.

Save 60-70% vs. In-House

A full-time bookkeeper costs $45,000-$65,000/year plus benefits and software. An accounting VA from Acelerar costs $8-$12/hour with no overhead - saving you thousands annually while delivering the same quality.

Tax-Ready Financials

When tax season arrives, your books are already organized, reconciled, and categorized correctly. Your CPA or tax preparer gets clean data - reducing their billable hours and your tax prep costs.

Accounting Virtual Assistant FAQs

An accounting VA handles day-to-day bookkeeping tasks: transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, invoice creation and sending, accounts receivable follow-up, bill payment processing, expense report management, receipt capture and filing, payroll data entry, financial report generation, and vendor payment tracking. They work as an extension of your accounting team for routine, recurring tasks.
Yes. Our accounting VAs hold certifications in QuickBooks Online (QBO ProAdvisor), Xero Advisor, and/or have completed formal bookkeeping training programs. Many have commerce or accounting degrees. We verify certifications before assignment and match VAs to clients based on software expertise and industry experience.
Every accounting VA follows a multi-step verification process: transactions are categorized using your chart of accounts and rules, reconciliations are completed with variance documentation, and a senior reviewer spot-checks work monthly. We maintain 99%+ accuracy rates and provide detailed reconciliation reports so you can verify the work.
An accounting VA handles the day-to-day data entry, categorization, and reconciliation that makes up 80% of bookkeeping work. They do not replace your CPA for tax strategy, compliance advice, or audit representation. Most clients use an accounting VA to handle routine tasks, which reduces the hours (and cost) they need from their CPA. Your CPA focuses on advisory work; the VA handles the data.
Acelerar’s accounting VAs range from $8-$12/hour depending on certification level and task complexity. Most small businesses spend $1,000-$2,400/month for 15-25 hours per week of bookkeeping support. Compare that to $45,000-$65,000/year for an in-house bookkeeper, and the savings are significant - with no benefits, equipment, or software licenses to provide.
