Hybrid Team for Bookkeeping
A Bookkeeper VA and an Invoice Chaser on the Same Books.
A Bookkeeper VA keeps your books, and an Invoice Chaser Digital Employee follows up on overdue invoices, drafts the reminders and logs every reply. Anything that leaves your business waits for your Approve unless your rules let it through.
Each one takes the part of the job it suits.
In short
What Is a Hybrid Team for Bookkeeping?
A Hybrid Team for bookkeeping puts a Bookkeeper VA and an Invoice Chaser Digital Employee on the same books. HireTrainVA recruits your Bookkeeper VA, and a dedicated account manager manages them. The Invoice Chaser checks for overdue invoices, drafts the reminders and logs the replies. Anything that leaves your business waits for Approve unless your rules let it through.
It is one version of a Hybrid Team. The person comes from our Bookkeeping VA role, and the Invoice Chaser is one of our Digital Employees, built for your business. You can also compare the three ways to hire.
Who does what
One Set of Books, Split in Two.
Here is how a Bookkeeper VA and an Invoice Chaser share accounts receivable follow-up, from the daily check to the weekly results.
| The step | Who does it | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Reconcile accounts and categorize transactions | Bookkeeper VA | An odd transaction needs someone who asks the right question. |
| Check for overdue invoices | Invoice Chaser | The same check every day, against your open invoices. |
| Draft each reminder | Invoice Chaser | Friendly at first, firmer as the invoice ages, in your words. |
| Approve what goes to the customer | Your Bookkeeper VA or you | A person keeps the final say, unless your rules let a reminder through. |
| Log replies and promises to pay | Invoice Chaser | Every reply is recorded against the right invoice. |
| Handle disputes and payment plans | Bookkeeper VA | A customer who disagrees or is short on cash needs a person. |
| Report the week | Invoice Chaser | Reminders sent and replies logged, in its weekly results. |
How approvals work
You Set the Rules. The Reminders Wait for a Yes.
The Invoice Chaser checks, drafts and logs. Anything that leaves your business waits for Approve unless your rules let it through.
- Each reminder arrives in an Inbox, yours or your Bookkeeper VA's, with Approve, Send back or Take over.
- Your rules can let routine reminders through and hold anything firmer, or any customer you name, for a person.
- It starts supervised. Once it delivers consistent results, it runs on its own, and you choose which steps still need approval.
- You choose who looks after it: HireTrainVA, someone on your team, or your Bookkeeper VA.
- A dedicated account manager manages your Bookkeeper VA from day one.
