Someone that takes care of bills while overseas?

Question

Hi,

My landlord hired me a while ago to take care of all his bills for his small business. Meaning I receive and pay his bills on time with HIS bank account. He's often out of town and all. I will be moving shortly and I'd like to know if there is a such a thing as someone that just is in charge of receiving the mail and making sure that it's paid on time? What would that be called? Where could I find someone like that?

Answer 1

They go by many names. Personal financial advisor, personal accountant, wife, crook.

However you want to call it, it is an accountant. If you are trying to put an ad in for someone to replace you then you would be putting an ad in for either an accountant or a secretary. Generally in the broader term of the word an accountant does someones taxes, but in the business and finance world, the accountant who works for them deals with paychecks and bills. They are generally called a secretary even though they are doing the work of an accountant. So you would put the ad in for a secretary, but make sure you put into it the types of programs the person needs to know.

There is no specific job for just those two things, but you can call it a personal secretary for a small business.
