391: Is Your Bookkeeping A Mess Whether You Are Starting A Business Or Side Hustle, A Solopreneur, Entrepreneur, Mompreneur, Freelancer, Accountant, Bookkeeper, VA, Business Owner, Or Self-Employed

When you have a small business, it is easy to think you can handle all of the tasks that need to be completed and wear the many hats that come with owning a business. This may be true or even possible when you are just starting your business, but as your business grows and each task starts to take more time, you will find you may not be able to handle everything yourself and may need help. One of the first tasks small business owners look at hiring out is their bookkeeping. It is often listed as the most frustrating aspect of owning a small business and it doesn’t matter if you are doing your bookkeeping manually or using QuickBooks, Xero or Wave to help automate your bookkeeping. You may have felt this way and wanted to hire a bookkeeper from the very beginning of starting your business if you didn’t feel qualified or confident doing your bookkeeping, or maybe you really like keeping track of all the money coming in and going out of your business. Either way, there are some pretty important signs you will notice in your small business which will help you make the decision of whether or not you need to hire a bookkeeper to help you master your small business finances. Many small business owners think hiring a bookkeeper is expensive, but in reality, depending on how many transactions you have in your business, you may be able to have your bookkeeping done for as little as $100.00 per month. Today I’m going to dive into a few of the signs you may need a bookkeeper and help you decide if and when you should start thinking about hiring a bookkeeper for your small business. Your financials tell you a lot about your business and help guide you to make sound business decisions, but when you don’t have accurate, reliable and timely information, you and your business could start to suffer. Listen in and find out if you may have reached or are getting close to reaching these important signs that you should hire a bookkeeper for your business.
