AE Spiller Bookkeeping

“Behind every successful business is someone who figured out how to manage their numbers – not just their ideas.” – Unknown

Avoiding eye contact with your online banking might work sometimes as an individual (though I don’t recommend this as a permanent thing), but when you are running a business, you need to know. You need to know how much money you have. You need to know where your money is going. All of this information about your month-to-month finances is what lets you make the best decisions you can about your business.

Having a bookkeeper lets you concentrate on the business side of things while still getting the financial data you need – without having to go through everything yourself. Anyone who has ever been in business knows that you sometimes end up spending more time on the administrative tasks required to keep the business going than you do on the actual work itself. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be that way. You don’t even have to find space in your office for a bookkeeper.

QuickBooks Online, which is arguably the industry standard for accounting needs, allows your bookkeeper to access your books and do what they need to remotely. You can basically outsource someone to do your books, with the added benefit that they will actually answer the phone when you call, and you don’t have to press 9 for English or wade through a sea of AI operators before getting to an actual person.

You need information. You already know that – it’s not news to you. You need someone who understands your business and is willing to talk to you and walk you through anything that you want to know when it comes to your finances. You want your business to grow so that you can help more people and make more of an impact on the world around you. All of these point to one thing… You need a bookkeeper.

You need bookkeeping. Not just you personally. Businesses in general need bookkeeping. But bookkeeping isn’t always what you think it is. Yes, it involves keeping your accounts and books in order so that when it’s time to do your taxes you, you don’t get grey hair or pull your hair out all together in frustration. Bookkeeping is more than that, though.

Yes, if your books are set up correctly, and all of your income and expenses are categorized properly, it makes tax time easier. It can help ensure that you are saving as much as you can and getting the highest amount in deductions possible. It can definitely help smooth relations with your tax preparer. They won’t cringe when they see you – partially because you won’t be bringing along a box of receipts that they will have to sift through before they can even start on your taxes.

But bookkeeping is about so much more than just taxes. In any situation, your decisions and choices are only as good as the information you have. You buy a car based on the information you have on it. You choose employees or friends based on what you know about the people in question. Businesses succeed or fail based on the decisions and actions of the people in charge. But the people in charge are making decisions and taking action based on the information they have.

Bookkeeping provides you up-to-date information about the performance and status of your business. The reports and data that bookkeepers provide tell you about how your company is doing. They tell you what area of the business is bringing in the most money, what areas are losing money, what is going on with your profit margins, and what could be affecting those.

Bookkeeping lets you keep your finger on the pulse of your business while not having to spend all of your own time trying to manage and sort through the daily financial transactions. We free up your time by handling the books so that you can concentrate on running the business itself, and we provide you the information and insights you need to streamline and improve upon the progress you have already made in building your business.

Having monthly bookkeeping service can be a game-changer for the performance of your business (and for your stress levels).
