5 Signs You Need a Bookkeeper

Good bookkeeping is important to running a business effectively. But if you’re running your own business and you’re doing your own books, here are 5 signs that you might need to get someone else to do them for you.

1. You’re falling behind
If you’re struggling to lodge our business activity statements (BAS), order stock, bill your customers or to pay your bills on time, then it could be costly stifling your opportunity to grow your business.

2. It’s taking you away from other business tasks that you need to do
Your time is precious, and if you’re spending time on bookkeeping that you need to be spending on other things, it’s time to get some bookkeeping help. Then you’ll be able to focus on the things you do best.

3. You’re not sure if your business’ financial records are accurate
Bookkeeping is a financial skill and if you make mistakes in your bookkeeping, it could be costly for both you and your business.

4. You’re not sure if you’re legally compliant
A good bookkeeper can help to make sure you meet all your legal obligations to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

5. You’re paying an accountant to do your bookkeeping
Accountants charge more than bookkeepers do. If you’re paying an accountant to do your bookkeeping, you’re probably paying too much.
