When is it time to hire a Bookkeeper?

Most likely, you started your small business because you enjoy the challenges of being an entrepreneur. You are devoted to your company, your employees and your clients. You're on top of the world and the future is bright. There's nothing you haven't thought of and nothing that could get you down, except…
OH, WAIT! BOOKKEEPING!

1.You loathe the thought of entering receipts into a financial system or software program.



2.You spend too many hours working late in the office tackling bookkeeping issues.


3.Your frustration level grows higher each time you work on your books.


4.At tax time, you stumble to get your paperwork together for your accountant or CPA.


If you are spending more than a few hours a month managing your paperwork, payroll, and taxes-- chances are you could benefit from the services of a professional bookkeeper.


If your small business has grown to the point where it is getting difficult for you to keep up with the paperwork, you don't have time for bookkeeping, or the budget to hire an in-house bookkeeper, an outside professional bookkeeping service may be just what you need.


Spend more of your valuable time running your business


Allow for more free time with friends and family


Or, whatever else you would rather be doing besides bookkeeping


If you are like most small business owners, you're lucky to find a receipt when you need it—for something purchased a month ago. And for most of us, unless you do bookkeeping for a living, you probably live with an overflowing receipt box that gets higher and higher until tax time arrives and maybe beyond.


Here's a question:On a daily or weekly basis, how much time does it take you to organize your receipts and bookkeeping? If you're finding it's taking way too much time away from making your business successful, then it's probably time to look for someone who can assist you with these tasks.




Sometimes it's better to free up your time for those things that are more important to you and vital to the success of your business.

Listen to your inner wisdom, and if/when the time is right and your budget will allow, hire someone to take off the pressure. Your peace of mind will be well worth it.How much time do you spend keeping track of:


Receipts, budgeting, invoices, bank accounts, payables, receivables, and payroll?

What about tax documents and the yearly hassle of filing your taxes?

Managing all of these little details can easily consume a great deal of your valuable time, and as you are well aware, time is money!

Maybe it's time to call for help!
