3 Ways To Tell If Your Business Would Benefit
From A Bookkeeper

• Bookkeeping and accounting are for many, the
  duller aspects of running a small business, and
  yet still, many entrepreneurs slave away over
  their books for hours on end each day, week or
  month, often never gaining any real insight into
  their business.
• Perhaps many small business owners mistakenly
  believe that in taking care of the books
  themselves, they are saving themselves money, but
  this is rarely the case, in fact, it is often the
  opposite.
• Here are 3 ways to tell if your business would
  benefit from a bookkeeper, and the chances are
  that if you dont already have one, youll think
  seriously about employing one after reading the
  following

• Do you run out of time when trying to tackle your
  books? If the answer to this question is yes,
  then you really should consider hiring a
  bookkeeper. If youre struggling to keep on top
  of your books, who knows what other aspects of
  your business are suffering too? Good time
  management is crucial for a successful small
  business, and spending hours poring over the
  books when a bookkeeper would have them finished
  in a matter of minutes, just seems silly. Of
  course, its an extra expense, but if other
  aspects of your business are failing due to the
  amount of time youre having to devote to your
  books, then that extra expense would be money
  well spent.

• Is bookkeeping an enigma to you? If you struggle
  to understand how to process your books, and find
  it hard to get to grips with the financial
  aspects of your business, then youd be best
  admitting that youre in muddy waters and should
  seek professional help as soon as possible. You
  could end up making costly mistakes, and youll
  never be able to get a clear picture of where
  your business is going.
• Bookkeeping bores you! While we may joke around
  about bookkeeping and accounting being two very
  dull types of work best left to men (or women) in
  grey suits, wouldnt you rather be spending your
  time and energy connecting with your customers or
  promoting your goods and services?

• The thought of outsourcing any aspect of your own
  business may not sit well with you, but it could
  also be counterproductive, especially if your
  heart isnt in it and you could easily end up
  making mistakes. Simply put, youre running a
  business and you need to do it in the most
  efficient way possible. If that means outsourcing
  your payroll, then thats really what you should
  do.
• So, if you can relate to any of the above three
  points, or even all of them, it really is time
  that you consider hiring the services of a
  bookkeeper. Being stubborn and wanting to do
  everything yourself, only works if you know how
  to do it and want to do it.
