I hope you are having a wonderful December and getting ready for the holidays!

I know this is a busy time of the year, and you likely have a lot on your plate. But I have a question for you…

How much time do you spend managing your books?

I get it—DIY-ing your bookkeeping might seem like the hero move to save some cash and persist as the captain of your financial ship.

IT’S NOT!

In fact, doing your own books can hurt your small business in many ways.

Here are some of the reasons why you should stop doing your own books and hire a professional bookkeeper instead:

1. You are wasting your precious time.

According to a survey by SCORE, the average small business owner spends 41 hours per month on accounting and finance tasks.

That’s more than a full workweek every month!

Imagine how much more you could achieve if you could spend those hours on your core business activities, such as developing your product, marketing your brand, or serving your customers. You could grow your business faster, increase your revenue, and improve your customer satisfaction. Or you could just take some time off and enjoy your life.

You deserve it!

2. You are risking your accuracy.

Bookkeeping is not easy.

It requires a lot of attention to detail, knowledge of accounting principles, and familiarity with tax laws and regulations.

If you are not an expert in these areas, you may make mistakes or miss important information that could cost you money or get you in trouble.

For example, you may record transactions incorrectly, miss deductions, overpay or underpay taxes, or fail to comply with reporting requirements.

These errors could result in penalties, audits, or legal issues that could damage your reputation and your bottom line.

3. You are missing out on valuable insights.

Bookkeeping is not just about recording numbers. It’s also about analyzing and interpreting them.

A good bookkeeper can provide you with accurate and timely financial reports and insights that can help you make informed decisions and plan for the future of your business.

For example, you can learn about your profitability, cash flow, budget, expenses, inventory, sales, and more. You can also identify trends, opportunities, and challenges that can affect your business performance.

With these insights, you can optimize your operations, increase your efficiency, and achieve your goals!

4. You are limiting your options.

This is not a one-size-fits-all solution…

Different businesses have different needs and preferences when it comes to managing their books. Some businesses may need monthly, quarterly, or annual bookkeeping services, while others may need weekly or daily services. Some businesses may prefer cloud-based or online bookkeeping software, while others may prefer desktop or offline software. Some businesses may need specialized bookkeeping services, such as payroll, invoicing, or tax preparation, while others may need general bookkeeping services.

A professional bookkeeper can offer you a variety of options and customize their services to suit your specific needs and preferences. You can choose the best option for your business and enjoy the benefits of flexibility and convenience.

Now, hold your Santa hat! Before you dust off that calculator again, consider hiring a professional bookkeeper who can take care of your books for you and provide you with the best service possible. A professional bookkeeper can save you time, money, and stress, and help you grow your business and achieve your goals.

I've been down this road since 2012 and guided numerous startups to successful, thriving, and sustaining businesses.
