Case Story
Our professional services client needed to streamline its time tracking system and invoice clients more efficiently. Under its legacy system, they were still creating all invoices manually. It took two whole days to compile information and send invoices!
An Astra Online Business Manager reviewed the current process and identified areas for improvement. Then they created solid deliverables, researched and found the right digital tools to meet these deliverables, and worked with an Executive Assistant and Bookkeeper to implement the program.
Using a mixture of Clockify, Excel, and business analysis, Astra reduced the billing process from two days to just two hours, saving our client 14 hours per month in labor. Freeing up time by creating better processes enabled our client to grow without a lot of added administrative muscle to make it happen.

client love
When I was referred to Astra, I was in search of a backup plan. My company’s processes were just okay but there was an opportunity to implement systems that would minimize mistakes and make the most of the tools my business used. With the help of Astra, we were able to maximize budgets far better than before and really harness the tools like Quickbooks. Their pricing and level of sophistication is second to none.

FAQs
What are some tasks my virtual Bookkeeper can perform?
Your Bookkeeper will be a full-cycle Bookkeeper, completing all functions of the process before your files are sent to your accountant for year-end filing. These tasks include accounts payable (AP), accounts receivable (AR), payroll, data management, bank reconciliation, credit card reconciliation, reporting, sales tax filing and compliance, among many other tasks. With your Bookkeeper in place, you can spend less time tracking receipts and more time growing your business.
What reports does my virtual Bookkeeper send me every month?
It really depends on your request and your business. The most common reports are profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and income statement. More are available upon request.
Do Astra’s virtual Bookkeepers have minimum hours?
You can access a highly skilled Bookkeeper for a commitment as low as 5 hours per month.
How is Astra different than other virtual services companies?
At Astra we only hire North American Executive Assistants and Bookkeepers with 10+ years of experience supporting business owners, entrepreneurs, C-suite executives, and board members. You will have a dedicated virtual Bookkeeper who will work directly with you day-to-day.
Am I locked into a contract?
We do not lock anyone into anything. Our contracts are flexible, allowing you the freedom to scale our services up or down to best suit your business needs.
In the spirit of honoring our commitments to you, the only thing we require is 30 days’ cancellation notice so we can plan the separation respectfully.
Am I ever charged for overages?
Generally, no – but if you do require extensive evening or weekend work, we will discuss how that will look, and you’ll know about overages long before you see anything additional on your bill. You will be charged for your QuickBooks account, but we receive a preferred rate so you will be saving money on dues. We also use software such as Wagepoint and Dext, which will be billed back to you, if applicable.
