5 Signs It’s Time to Hire a Bookkeeper

  1. You Don’t Have an Accounting Background 

Managing your bookkeeping is much more complicated and time-consuming than most people think. A professional bookkeeper knows how to record and document your business transactions properly. Daily experience with accounting software and problem-solving makes a bookkeeper much more efficient at getting the job done.

 

  1. Your Messy Books Have Cost You Money

 Are you paying bills late and missing out on discounts or incurring late fees? Or are you unable to collect from customers as quickly as you would like? An experienced bookkeeper knows how to help you stay on top of your bills and invoices. The time you spend on bookkeeping is better spent serving your customers and growing your business.

 

  1. You Want to Connect Third-Party Applications to your Accounting Software But Aren’t Sure How to Do It

There are many Third-Party Applications available these days – and they are all telling you they can connect to QuickBooks. While it is true that many applications CAN connect to QuickBooks, there are a number that should not. Connecting the wrong application or incorrectly setting up the app can have a devastating effect on your books. Some of the most extensive and costly clean-ups I have performed resulted from connecting third-party apps. Save yourself from that ordeal. Don’t rely on the claims made by the vendor. Enlist the help of a bookkeeper experienced with third-party apps.

 

  1. Your Records are Disorganized

Are you searching for a receipt but unsure where to find it? Do you spend too much time tracking down your records when the IRS asks for more detail? Often, organizing records falls to the bottom of the priority list. A professional bookkeeper sets up a system to organize your records – and keeps it maintained going forward.

 

  1. You Don’t Know How Much Money You Made

Do you know how much money you made last month? Are you able to tell which products and services are most profitable? Are your expenses too high for your industry? If you struggle to answer these questions, it’s time to bring some help on board. A skilled bookkeeper provides detailed reports to help you manage your business.

 

And a Bonus Reason:

 

  1. You Just Don’t Want to Do It

The most common reason people hire professional bookkeepers? They just Don’t Want To Do It. Take advantage of the freedom you enjoy as a business owner. You don’t have to do everything yourself. Most thriving businesses outsource the parts they don’t like. And let’s face it -If you loved bookkeeping, you’d probably be doing it full-time.
