Frequently asked questions
Does a bookkeeper need to be a CPA?
Many bookkeeping assignments do not require CPA credentials, but the right qualifications depend on the work and your local requirements. Specify the tasks, level of review, and credentials or experience you expect before hiring.
How should I provide accounting software access?
Use individual accounts with only the permissions needed for the assigned work. Agree on the records to maintain, supporting-document process, review steps, and who approves payments or accounting adjustments.
Which time zones can the role cover?
Candidates in the Philippines work US, Australian, UK or European business hours, and each job post says the schedule. Agree the daily overlap before you hire, and remember the clock shifts when the US or Europe changes its time.
How do I pay someone abroad?
Most employers pay by Wise, Payoneer or a bank transfer. Agree the method, the rate and the payment dates before work starts, and keep the invoices for your own records.
Is this person my employee or my contractor?
Most people hired abroad work as independent contractors: you pay an agreed rate and they handle their own taxes and benefits. If you want an employment relationship, check the rules where you are hiring from or use an employer of record.
Does WorkNow charge a placement fee?
No. You can post a job for free, and our team reviews the first one before it goes live. You are never charged a percentage of the salary.
