How can a professional bookkeeper help a small business?
How can a professional bookkeeper help a small business?
Bookkeepers are integral to small business. They reconcile the bank accounts, ensure creditor bills are correct, chase debtors, and prepare cashflow forecasts, as well as undertake compliance such as payroll, PAYG and GST returns. It is not unusual for the bookkeeper to be the centre-point of a small business. Bookkeepers are often the first to see the cashflow trend of the small business and are well positioned to advise on using software to streamline the business.
A bookkeeper helps your business stay organised
Proper organisation is crucial for any business to succeed. It helps a lot that you’re able to find relevant business information anytime when the need for it arises. The financial records of your company will also be of great help to several parties, including your accountant, the ATO, your customers, employees, lenders and investors.
It gives you back your free time to do other important things
How many hours do you spend working on your books instead of working on your growing your business? How many nights do you spend shuffling paper, instead of spending time with your family? Or chances are you will keep putting it off until it’s a major chore and take you ten times longer to do it.
