Dear Taiko,
I am a bookkeeper in Enschede. Far from Gouda... I don't know any collegue over there. I have some ideas about how you can select the right bookkeper for you:
- References offcourse... what you are doing now.
- Do you understand if he explains you something about his profession?
- When will your annual account and taxes be ready?
- How can you keep track of your finances?
- Diploma's, insurance, staf, etc (everybody can call himself a bookkeeper)
Concerning price:
- Agree on a fixed price. Additional costs only allowd after the were approved by you.
- Will he charge for phone questions during the year? Or is this a service?
