As a small business owner, I am quickly becoming familiar with all the paperwork and bureaucracy involved in starting a business. And while sometimes cumbersome, it is important to maintain financial and business records properly.

Bookkeeping is the process of recording a business or individual’s financial transactions and is usually performed by an Accountant department. There are several advantages to maintaining accurate records, but three come to mind. 

  • Allows business owners to align their finances with goals
  • Makes business more appealing for bank loans
  • Provides a real-time overview of finances

Small businesses typically start off as Sole Proprietors with limited resources. In these instances, hiring a bookkeeper is beneficial in the role of financial recording and planning the businesses’ financial situation. 

So how do you know if your business needs a bookkeeper? Ask yourself these questions.

  • How much time do I spend on bookkeeping and updating my financial records?
  • How much cash can I put towards this effort? Experienced bookkeepers are significantly less expensive than CPAs but offer the same services.
  • Are you prepared for tax season? Do you understand the tax laws and policies? Are you organized and knowledgeable enough to prepare the proper tax documents?
