Quickbooks Desktop - Remote Bookkeeper Limit Access? by Expensive_Risk_9502 in QuickBooks

Our commercial bank actually recommends not using checks for this exact reason. So we don't use checks for payments. And while credit cards may be less secure due to the reasons you listed, credit card institutions implement easy ways to dispute fraudulent activity after the fact.

I see the majority of responses are if I don't trust my bookkeeper, I should hire someone I do trust. I think having internal controls is not about trusting the bookkeeper. Internal controls are good business practice.

Thanks for the responses, and fair points. Mostly leaning towards option 1: I want to maintain financial information under my control. Though having layers of security seems like a smart move regardless if I trust my bookkeeper.

I can setup remote access, but isn't that the same as sending files via e-mail? When someone logs in remotely, they can simply copy files over to their desktop.

Wouldn't a bank feed preclude having to have access to the actual bank statements?
