“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.
