First of all, we have to compare those companies and take a look at their business licenses. An officially registered accounting company must have the business license issued by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and if the company does not even have a business license, we definitely should not trust it.
The second is to look at their agency bookkeeping licenses because an agency bookkeeping accounting company must have the Acting Bookkeeping Qualification License issued by the Finance Bureau. However, this does not include the accounting firms, and financial consulting companies because they already qualify to act as an agent for bookkeeping.
The next step is to review the office environment and personnel of the accounting company. It is good to choose one that is closer to your own company to get more convenient communication. Formal accounting companies must have their own office space and office equipment, and accounting companies without office space are not trustworthy.
The ideal company should also have a manager (generally the owner of the company), the field service (responsible for obtaining and sending information), a bookkeeping accounting (responsible for doing accounts), an audit accounting (usually an accountant with many years of experience or even a certified public accountant, familiar with Various industries to prevent companies from making mistakes). When the bookkeeping agency receives the original accounting vouchers and materials of the entrusting unit, it also needs to go through the handover procedures, otherwise, it will be difficult to find if it is lost or damaged.
Finally, we need to take a look at the hardware equipment of the company. With the in-depth development of accounting digitization, computer accounting has replaced manual accounting. Therefore, the general agency bookkeeping company should have a special accounting computer and install the corresponding financial Software, and related hardware equipment.
