I recently received an email with the subject line, "Why You Should Fire Your Bookkeeper," and while I usually don’t give these things much attention, this one really had me shaking my head.

Let’s get real for a minute—bookkeeping isn’t just some tedious task you can just throw together during tax season. If you’re still hanging onto outdated ideas about what bookkeeping is, you are likely holding your business back.

Let’s be real for a second—bookkeeping isn’t sexy. However, it is a necessity, and it can be a pain in the ass if you don’t know what you're doing. That’s why outsourcing your bookkeeping can be a game-changer. So, let’s talk about why you should stop banging your head against the wall trying to balance the books yourself, and how outsourcing that shit can save you time, stress, and money.

Need a bookkeeper? Of course you do! You care about your finances and what goes on in your business. You know there is no one better equipped to guide you on this journey than a perspective partner like yours truly.

If you've ever believed that bookkeeping solely revolves around numbers, well, it's time to think again. Here are 7 surprising ways I'm here to be your guiding light on our journey together.

As we gear up for the holiday festivities, it might seem counterintuitive to talk about rolling up our sleeves for some year-end financial tidying. But guess what? The fourth quarter (Q4) is the prime time to give your bookkeeping the TLC it deserves.

So, put down the pumpkin spice latte & candy corn (just me? ok..) for a minute and let's dive into why Q4 is the absolute best time for your annual bookkeeping cleanup.

There is so much to know when it comes to doing your taxes, and as a small business owner, I know you’re already juggling too many job titles as it is. When you take on the role of your own bookkeeper, business advisor, cash flow analyzer, and even tax preparer - things can get dicey quick. While bookkeepers don’t usually do tax prep and are definitely not any kind of tax attorney, they CAN get your finances set up in a way that can help your tax professional come April 18th. 

Fact or fiction: your bookkeeper only files your taxes and hounds you for your receipts. Fiction! Bookkeepers are so much more than just the guy that bothers you about your tax forms.
