Every business starts at a
specific place and grows at different rates. As your business grows, you may need the honest opinions from different professionals or consultants as to the pace and
direction that your company is taking. Outsourcing a proven bookkeeping service could prove hugely beneficial to you as the business owner for a number of reasons
as discussed below.
Unbiased
information from accountants and bookkeepers
An external accountant can help
your business to stay on path toward targeted profits, while your internal bookkeeper is emotionally attached to the business. However,
hiring an external bookkeeper will be beneficial because their work and examination of the finances will be more objective. Thus, they will give crucial insight that can greatly change
the financial situation of your business. It is important to get both positive
and negative information.
Reduced
costs
Outsourcing a bookkeeping service should save you money in different ways. To begin with, you do
not have to pay for their payroll taxes. Since the bookkeeper is not your permanent
employee, they do not have the right to paid vacations and other employee
benefits that may apply in your company. Your permanently employed bookkeeper
would have less work to do especially when your business is at the crucial
growth stage and with hundreds of transactions, freeing up their time for more critical functions. Your external bookkeeper will
also ensure that the business saves as much as possible by acting as a watchdog
for the company - without being clouded by an emotional tie to the company.
It could easily be much cheaper for you to pay the
bookkeeping service as compared to having a permanent accountant in your
business. Similarly, a trained accountant gets the chance to work for more than
one company hence growing their experience in the business practices they
specialize in.
Reduced
turnover risks
It is common for an internal
bookkeeper to leave your business possibly because of a better opportunity in
the market or to pursue personal interests. This can cause a financial mayhem
in your business from un-captured business transactions to poor cash flows.
Outsourcing a bookkeeping service ensures that business is not affected much
once your internal book keeper leaves. It is highly uncommon for a bookkeeping service
to drop your business as one of its clients since their interest in on long term
business.
Your
business and industry needs an expert
Notice the difference between
general bookkeepers and expert bookkeepers. You need to be in a position to
locate a bookkeeping expert to cater to your unique needs as a company and in
the industry where you serve. Always ensure that the expert that serves you has
worked with other companies with similar interests and size to yours. This
means that they have market and industry experience to see your business grow
as well.
Focus
on your priorities
Your external bookkeeper gives you enough time to focus on other important issues concerning your
business. Seeking to focus on your company sales? Do you have the relevant
business reports? Your external bookkeeper should produce them for you so that
you know where to base your focus. While they tackle specific business
operations, your bookkeeping service can advise you when unforeseen costs arise or identify areas for higher profitability - which is why you are in business in the first place.
