Running a business is hard work and can sometimes be as draining as it is rewarding. Entrepreneurs who try juggling all aspects of their business’s operations can burn out if they aren’t careful.
BELAY works with business owners who are looking to get the bookkeeping and accounting off their plates so they can focus on growing their business. Here are five signs it is time to consider using an outsourced bookkeeping and accounting firm.
Chasing Your Tail
Have you forgotten to pay a vendor?
Have your fingers crossed you’re caught up on payroll taxes?
Wondering how much you’ll owe the IRS?
Outsourced bookkeeping might be for you then. Just because you’re running a business doesn’t mean you know everything about being a business owner. Identify the things you need help with and find a team that will let you focus on what you’re good at.
BELAY works with entrepreneurs to create processes and efficiencies so things like A/R and A/P, payroll, and sales tax don’t fall through the cracks.
Stressed All The Time
There is only so much you can teach yourself about bookkeeping and accounting, which is why many business owners elect outsourced bookkeeping and accounting as a proactive way to manage their finances. Accountfully is a team of skilled CPAs, accountants, and bookkeepers. Looking at a P&L or balance sheet isn’t stress-inducing; it’s an opportunity for us to find ways to improve your bottom line.
Losing Its Shine
If the passion behind your business is losing its shine and you’re ready to throw in the towel, it’s time to ask yourself if it’s your passion that's fading or the overwhelming amount of things you’re juggling. Don’t fall into the trap of being perpetually frustrated— delegate the things outside your skillset. If you’re a food entrepreneur or running a digital agency, chances are you aren’t genuinely interested in coding transactions or processing payroll. Believe it or not, the Accountfully team is genuinely interested in coding transactions and processing payroll. We are passionate about what we’re good at, so you can continue being passionate about what you’re good at.
Turned Over All Stones
The internet is a powerful tool for business owners looking to learn some bookkeeping basics but a growing business needs more than just the basics. It needs proactive management and support from a team of bookkeepers and accountants who can help business owners make strategic decisions. It’s okay to operate solely while things get started, but once you feel like your business is getting past the basics, it’s time to consider an outsourced bookkeeping and accounting team that will function like your CFO.
Treading Water
If you’ve figured out a good system so your bookkeeping is getting done but you think there’s probably a more efficient way of doing things, there probably is.
