Did you know that poor accounting services is one of the top 10 reasons that businesses fail today? The trouble is, maintaining an in-house bookkeeper can be extremely costly. Thankfully, businesses can afford trustworthy bookkeeping by relying on outsourcing. Here are some other reasons you should add outsourcing a good bookkeeper to your business model for long-term success:

  1. You Don’t Have the Time
    Let’s face it—you likely feel as though you have so many balls in the air on an average day that the thought of bookkeeping barely enters your mind. This situation is exactly why DIY isn’t workable for most business owners. While there are programs like QuickBooks bookkeeping available for purchase, you will still need someone prepared to utilize it correctly. That’s a process that takes both training and time—time you don’t have. Instead of putting more of your own hours on the clock learning a new skill, outsourcing a knowledgeable, accredited bookkeeper will save you time and money in the long run.
  2. Unless You’re a CPA, You Don’t Have the Expertise
    It’s not an insult to say you aren’t qualified to maintain the books at your business to keep yourself out of the IRS’s crosshairs. Simply put, most business owners are more focused on providing a service, selling a product, and focusing on the day-to-day operations and needs of staff and customers to tackle another library’s worth of knowledge and bookkeeping discipline. It’s not part of your wheelhouse, nor should it be.

    Part of you knows that you might be in over your head with keeping your own books for your business, and it’s perfectly normal to feel that way. As stated above, you don’t have the time, the resources, or the knowledge required to commit to quality bookkeeping. By stretching yourself thin to fill so many roles, you might miss vital details in the daily running of your business—and those are details you simply cannot afford to let slip.

Why You Need Third-Party Help

While it might seem a simple option to hire an employee to do your bookkeeping in-house, it is usually more advantageous to find a third-party financial professional like the staff at One Books. Why?

  • We’re unbiased. An employee on your payroll might make errors and be hesitant to disclose them, fearing the loss of their job. Instead, it is better to rely on an outside observer with an unbiased view. An outsourced bookkeeper can approach your books analytically and carefully, leaving nothing to chance.
  • We have experience. At One Books, we have more than 25 years of experience in the field of bookkeeping. We have extensive knowledge of QuickBooks Pro, and we use that insight and expertise every single day to benefit our highly valued customers.
