Is a Bookkeeper Right for You?

 As soon as you start a business, you need to start keeping track of every transaction, no matter how small, coming in and out of your accounts. Depending on the volume of these transactions, you may not be able to handle this yourself. Many entrepreneurs feel that they can do it themselves, but as your business grows, you may struggle to find the time and even question if you are doing it properly. 

Do you experience any of the following?

• You are too busy to categorize transactions as you are focusing on other parts of your business
• Your accountant does your bookkeeping
• Sales have increased, but your profits have not
• None of your accounts are reconciled
• Behind on your taxes
• Your books are never up to date
• Are you literally keeping your bills and receipts in a shoe box or in the console of your vehicle
• Not clear on what you’re spending and making
• Playing the catch-up game every year-end
• You missed out on tax write-offs

Small business owners who struggle to keep up with their accounting benefit from outsourcing their payroll and bookkeeping. Poor bookkeeping is one of the top reasons that small businesses fail, and not seeking assistance could be what stands between you and success.

As a small business owner, you need your financial data to be current and accurate so you can make good business decisions.
