In the fall of 2020, when Shertzer saw an article in the Plain Communities Business Exchange magazine, he contacted Gehman Accounting to see how they might be able to help. He was assured that bookkeeping for small businesses was a key service they provide. When Shertzer asked about the possibility of doing it remotely on his business computer, he learned that remote work was also a normal part of their services.
Now, like clockwork every Thursday by noon, Shertzer scans and emails documents directly to Gehman Accounting. By that afternoon, the bookkeeper enters all data, pays bills and does any reconciling needed. “The process is consistent and disciplined,” said Shertzer. “They are on top of their game in keeping my books clean. It makes for effective tracking.”
Having Gehman Accounting take care of the bookkeeping allows Shertzer Equipment Group to maintain positive relationships with their vendors by getting them paid on time. It also allows Shertzer to focus on what he enjoys, buying and selling machinery, rather than spending time tracking accounts payable and accounts receivable.
When asked about the value, Shertzer replied, “They aren’t a big-ticket item for our budget. I would easily spend two or three times the amount of time if I were to do my own bookkeeping.”
Shertzer finished with, “God has been good to us. We are doing our best to be good stewards of what the Lord has given us. Gehman Accounting has been a part of that journey.”
