Posted in: Tips & Insights
You’re in the sweet spot—your business is thriving, you’ve got lots of clients and business, you have great employees, but you’re not quite busy enough to hire a full-time accountant. Or you’re doing exactly what you love, and you’re really good at it, but since it’s a business, the government expects all the accounting to still get done, even though you have zero interest in it. This is where bringing in a quality bookkeeper might be the right move.
Order Out of Chaos
Every business needs someone managing the financials on an ongoing basis. That’s where having a bookkeeper in place is essential.
Avalon Accounting says that a bookkeeper will typically:
Reconcile your accounts at the end of each month
Record and pay bills on their due date
Create and issue invoices
Keep tabs on your cash balance
Process and reconcile payroll
Track, file and pay sales tax, and
Provide reports
Stay On Top Of Your Business Transactions
All businesses of all sizes generate financial transactions. Staying organized and up-to-date on these transactions is critical for business success—all the decisions you make for your business are better decisions when they are based on current information. Your business will be more profitable with a monthly review of your financial statements.
Small businesses may have an accountant that looks after their taxes, but may not see the need for regular accounting services. Keeping on top of your bookkeeping reduces your stress levels—knowing your accounting is taken care of and up-to-date lets you focus on what you do best—running your business.
