Ok, I have no name for this person, but I’m almost 100% positive she’s a female.
Nothing irks me more than people who have no life and go around online trying to stir up trouble for no reason other than they can’t control how they feel when they don’t like something they read, AND they concern themselves with everyone’s business but their own.
I’m minding my own business placing an ad for a Canadian bookkeeper and this is the response I get from this so called professional…
“For someone who needs a bookkeeper 2 hours per month or less – don’t you think your expectations are a little ridiculous?
I could understand if your bookkeeping needs were at least 8 - 10 hours per month.
I have several clients that I have been providing virtual bookkeeping services to for 2 months to 3 years. Average hours per client are 25 hours per month, and I bill at a rate of $30 to $45 per hour.
Not a single client has ever requested the things you are requested.
2 hours per month – how could I take it seriously???”
So, based on her so called educated opinion and experience, a company should NOT screen bookkeepers because none of her clients have ever screened her, and because my work only takes approximately 2 hours per month, I should expect less quality and an independent contractor who is less skilled, than if I had work that equaled 8-10 hours. 
I’m sorry, I have to laugh at the logic behind someone who clearly doesn’t know how to run a professional business, and thinks we should all just hire whomever comes along because Missy over here thinks we should.
She also speaks for the entire bookkeeping community when she says…
“Michelle,
Any qualified bookkeeper that saw your ad would also conclude that your expectation is a little ridiculous. Your response to my email says it all.
And I have no interest in applying for anything with your company.”

I won’t bore you with my thoughts, just beware of who you are hiring online.
It’s interesting to see what people do when they think no one is listening or watching & a few months after I got this response from her (I’m pretty sure she is a female, most men don’t pounce on people for no reason.), I decided I had enough of Canadian bookkeepers. The ones I have hired are nasty, immature, insecure, they don’t do the job properly, they didn’t return my e-mails promptly, they expected me to notify them when I was ready for month instead of them reminding me, & they think they are god’s gift to the work force.
I have decided to ONLY hire Americans now.
