Debunking The Myths About Outsourced Bookkeeping
2

• There are many myths surrounding the outsourcing
  of such vital business services as bookkeeping,
  and here are just a few of the ones that are
  simply not true
• When you outsource, you lose control
• Contrary to what many owners of businesses fear
  to be true, when you outsource your companys
  bookkeeping duties, youre in fact gaining more
  control as youre in a better position to assess
  your goals and overall financial position. Having
  an outsourced bookkeeper keeps you right at the
  helm of your business, and when they give you
  regular access to timely and accurate financial
  data, you can make so many more educated
  decisions.

• Outsourcing is too expensive
• While it is of course true that you must pay to
  outsource your bookkeeping duties, its perhaps
  more important to consider what you save when you
  do so. Not only are you saving valuable time that
  you could be spending more wisely, but you may
  even save money in the long run as youre able to
  make more informed decisions related to the
  financial aspects of your business.

• Business security may be compromised
• Its only natural that as a business owner,
  youll be worried about the confidentiality of
  your company accounts, however, its important to
  keep in mind that professional outsourcing firms
  use the very best technology to help them keep
  all data secure, and its in their interests as
  well as yours, to keep all data safe.

• The outsourced bookkeeper is not trustworthy
• This statement is as ridiculous as it sounds! The
  professionals who are now handling your
  bookkeeping duties are just as concerned about
  customer service and profitability as you are,
  the only difference is that they have a naturally
  objective approach. This approach, far from being
  a negative factor, is a hugely positive one and
  puts them in a fantastic position to spot any
  unusual business activity and suggest more
  effective ways of running your finances.

• Outsourcing may take up more time
• This is another, equally ridiculous statement and
  professionally outsourced bookkeepers do the
  exact opposite, in fact. As they know their work
  inside out, all you need to do is let them do
  their job and reap the benefits afterwards.
  Operating electronically enables most outsourced
  bookkeepers to take advantage of cloud-based
  solutions to quickly and conveniently store and
  exchange financial data and other relevant
  information between client and service provider.
  Your job is made much easier and youll have much
  more time free to focus on other, equally
  important aspects of your business.

• Hiring a bookkeeper may be something that as the
  owner of a small business, you think you need to
  do, but outsourcing it gives you so much more
  flexibility and the option to use their services
  as and when you wish. A full-time bookkeeper is a
  big financial commitment, and when you try to run
  it yourself, in-house, it can take up a lot of
  time. Outsourcing such important duties as
  bookkeeping has never been easier, and most
  businesses will find it advantageous to use their
  services.
