Running a business takes a certain kind of tenacity. There are constant challenges–everything from running out of coffee beans to a very short deadline for a major customer. And at the end of the day, you have to sit down and do the books. But here’s the thing – you don’t have to. That’s the perfect time to hand things over to a bookkeeper.
Hiring a bookkeeper has many benefits, including:
1. Allowing you to focus on what you do best
Your time is valuable. A bookkeeper lets you spend that time improving and growing your business, focusing on strategy or customer relationships instead of punching numbers or worrying about tax compliance.
2. Maintaining organised records
A bookkeeper can help ensure tax deadlines are met, minimise reporting errors, and collate all the information you and your accountant will need for end of year tax obligations.
3. Peace of mind
You’ll leave work knowing that your finances are being taken care of. No more sleepless nights.
4. Helping maintain your work/life balance
So many of our clients tell us that they do their bookkeeping late in the evening or on weekends. Hiring a bookkeeper allows you to spend your business hours focusing on your core business needs and your personal hours focusing on yourself or your loved ones.
5. Maintaining Cash Flow
You are busy running your business. You might not notice that some of your customers haven’t paid you. Bookkeepers can record payments to ensure your customers are paying you and can chase those who have not paid. This will help your business remain cash flow positive!
6. Reducing Errors
Bookkeepers are professionals with a passion for paying bills, reconciling payments and filing taxes. Our team are detail-orientated, focused on bookkeeping, and love what they do. They aren’t pulled in many different directions, so you can be confident that your books are in good hands.
7. Helping you budget well
When your income and expenses are well organised within your accounting system, it’s easier to review this data and create a budget. You can then easily track future income and expenses against the budget because it is organized and consistent.
8. Expertise in technology and software
Our team knows how to use accounting tools to their highest capabilities. This means we can use software to provide you with accurate and valuable financial information while still being efficient. With cloud-based software, we don’t even have to be at your business location–we can help you remotely anytime, anywhere.
Let’s be honest, you probably didn’t get into business for the thrill of bookkeeping. But honestly, we did! If you’re interested in hiring a reliable, trustworthy, good bookkeeper, give us a call or check out our Services page for more details.
