How L&L Bookkeeping Protects Your Business When Key Staff Are Out
When a key team member takes PTO, goes on leave, or unexpectedly leaves your company, who makes sure your books keep moving forward?
For many small businesses, this is the moment things start to slip—bills don’t get paid, payroll questions go unanswered, or tax deadlines creep up. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
At L&L Bookkeeping, our systems are designed to protect your business from disruption, especially when your internal team is unavailable. Whether someone is on vacation, out unexpectedly, or transitioning out of the company, we’re here to make sure things don’t fall apart while they’re away.
We’re Not Just a Vendor—We Act Like Part of Your Team
When you work with L&L, you’re not relying on just one person to keep your books on track. You get a dedicated bookkeeper backed by a whole team that knows your business and your books. That means:
No gaps when your internal admin or bookkeeper is out
No delays on reconciliations, payroll, or vendor communication
No confusion over where things stand or what needs to be done
No scrambling for logins, files, or due dates
We’ve seen how disruptive it can be when a key team member is suddenly unavailable. Our job is to make sure that you don’t feel it.
We Build Continuity into Every Account
At L&L, our entire system is set up to keep your business running smoothly, even when someone on your team—or ours—is out. We document your processes, track every recurring task, and store your data securely.
Here’s what that looks like:
Financial Cents: Our project management software tracks all ongoing and recurring tasks
SmartVault: Your documents are stored securely and accessibly, so no one’s digging through email
Shared accounting@ email: Keeps communication centralized so we don’t miss a thing. ICYMI: We covered this in our previous blog post here.
Internal backup support: Your lead bookkeeper is your main contact, but others are trained and ready to step in
Whether it’s your team or ours taking time off, your books don’t miss a beat.
Real-World Scenarios We’ve Helped With
A client’s admin unexpectedly went on extended leave—and we were able to handle vendor communication, upload documents, and keep payroll moving without any delays.
During a staff transition, we used our documentation and access systems to help onboard the new internal hire quickly—without having to re-do or re-explain anything.
A long-time client took their first real vacation, knowing L&L had everything under control. (Yes, that’s a win we count.)
One client shared that working with L&L feels like having a full-time bookkeeper on call. Unlike a part-time hire who may only work two or three days a week, our team checks accounting emails daily—so when something comes up midweek, we’re already on it.
Lori’s Take:
“We’ve had clients go through major staffing transitions—sometimes with zero notice. Because our systems are in place, we’ve been able to keep everything moving, help train their new hires, and make sure no one falls behind.”
