Would Your Small Business Benefit From Hiring A
Bookkeeper?

• If you are the owner of a small business, it can
  be difficult to weigh up the pros and cons of
  hiring a professional bookkeeping service do you
  try and save money by going it alone, or do you
  pay out and have someone else calculate your
  books for you?

• Here are a few pointers to help you decide
• What a bookkeeper actually does
• A bookkeeper will help you with some of the day
  to day tasks involved with running a small
  business keeping payroll up to date, submitting
  and following up on invoices in a timely manner
  and paying any bills. They will also help to
  track the expenses of your business, and ensure
  that they have all been recorded accurately ready
  for tax time.

• When might I need to hire the services of a
  bookkeeper?
• If someone is already doing your bookkeeping for
  you - even if it is you yourself - but you or
  your paid member of staff finds that working part
  time just isnt enough to keep on top of things,
  then it may be time to consider hiring a
  bookkeeper.
• Some small businesses begin with hiring a
  bookkeeper for several hours a week within a few
  months of starting a new venture, and then as the
  business progresses and things begin to
  stabilise, they start spotting trends. Business
  owners are then able to see more clearly where
  they might be able to save money, which might not
  have happened without the help of a professional
  bookkeeper.

• How will hiring a bookkeeper benefit my small
  business?
• A bookkeeper is a highly trained professional,
  with in depth knowledge of the ins and outs of
  finance and record keeping. Because of this, they
  can help you to avoid making potentially costly
  errors that could damage your small business in
  more ways than one.

• Not only that, but they will enable you to see
  your business from a different perspective you
  doubtless work on every aspect of your business,
  every day, whereas a bookkeeper will arrive with
  fresh eyes and a fresh spin on things - forcing
  you to examine certain aspects of it that may or
  may not be running smoothly, and to make
  strategic changes as necessary. It may be that
  youre actually able to save money on goods and
  services that you didnt think possible, or
  simply hadnt noticed.

• A bookkeeper will undoubtedly allow you more time
  to focus on other aspects of your business. When
  trying to cope with all of the administrative
  tasks on your own, it can be easy to lose sight
  of the main aim of the business or to lose the
  energy to work on building it up.

• Tax knowledge is essential when running your own
  business, and who better to guide you through the
  many nuances of federal and state tax returns
  than a bookkeeper. Not only can they assist you
  in filing your returns, but they may spot the
  early warning signs of issues that might cause
  you problems in the next tax season, too. Along
  with their expert advice and guidance, they could
  help you to find deductions and other ways of
  gaining a larger return at the end of the fiscal
  year.
