“Why do I need a bookkeeper?”
We get asked this question a lot! This, and “Do I even need a bookkeeper? Can’t I just do it myself?”
The short answer? Maybe you can do it yourself — but, maybe a bookkeeper is your best investment!
The level of bookkeeping support that’s right for you and your business depends on many factors — from how complex your business’s books are, your number of employees, and your monthly transactions, to your company’s trajectory, and more. It also depends on your comfort level and confidence in your own books, but perhaps most importantly, how much time and energy you want to invest in the nitty-gritty of keeping your ledgers clean and your reports filed.
Do any of these sound like you?
You’ve been in business for a while and it’s getting harder to stay on top of your business finances
Money hits your account and then leaves without a clear record of where’s it’s coming from — or going to
Your bookkeeping costs you time, energy, and stress, leaving you less time for your business (and maybe your friends, family, and hobbies too), or…
You’re just getting started in business, but you’re not sure about choosing a business entity, getting a tax ID, or how to set your books up
For new business owners, it can be hard to know where to get started. You may not need a full time bookkeeper quite yet — we offer customized services to point you in the right direction right out of the way. Getting started the right way saves time and money, preventing the hassle, stress, and unnecessary costs of backtracking to get your accounts in order.
If you’ve been in business a little longer and you have a general understanding of how to keep your books, the big question to consider is where your time is best spent. While we know money isn’t everything, it’s a reality of running a successful business or organization — and ultimately, time is money. So if you’re spending valuable working hours dealing with debits, credits, and payroll, googling definitions and how-tos, and you’d like to get those hours back, CLEAN Bookkeeping can create more time in your schedule for the important parts of running a business — while giving you peace of mind that everything is done right.
Whether you’ve been in business for a minute, months, or years, we’re here to help you get rocking and rolling, the right way.
