Should You Outsource Your Bookkeeping?

Think about how much time you spend going over the accounts. Now think about whether you feel that is time well spent. If the answer is negative, then you really ought to consider outsourcing the job. Just in case that line wasn't persuasive enough, here are some of the reasons why:

1. Reduce the cost associated with having employees. Having employees is expensive; there are payroll taxes, benefits, health insurance and staying compliant with the ever-changing laws. By outsourcing to a reputable firm you can rest assured you won’t need to worry about these additional costs.

2. Your bookkeeper will be doing more than just logging transactions for you and giving you a bottom line at the end of the quarter. Your bookkeeper is there to provide you with valuable financial metrics on your business allowing you to see how you’re progressing financially.

3. When you do your own accounting, you aren't compensated in any way for the time you lose doing it. When you outsource to a third party, whatever you spend on obtaining and retaining their services is tax-deductible.  The best part is you don't even have to know about that, because your accountant does, and will claim it for you automatically.

4. If you do your own accounting, then you are in fact accountable. That means should you make a mistake, all the liability for that mistake will fall on you. In the absolute worst-case scenario, you could even be facing prison time for it. On the other hand, if you hire an accountant to do your accounts, they will be liable if they screw up.

5. You get to save some money. Instead of you having to fork out for all that fancy accounting software and the interminable upgrades that seem to always be lurking just around the corner, your accountant has to foot the bill for that themselves.  That's a huge saving right there, and there are quite a few others besides.

6. And the most important of all, a bookkeeper is an outside eye on your business. Your provider of bookkeeping services is especially valuable for this because, while they’re on your team, they’re also on the outside, which gives an invaluable outsider perspective. Your provider will be well versed in the most vital financial processes of your business and will be able to help you examine your profits and losses when making your financial plans and business strategies. Remember, your bookkeeper isn’t just there to crunch the numbers. They’re there to help your business thrive.
