Bookkeeping
Should You Do It Yourself?
Are you pondering the question “should you do your own bookkeeping or hire a professional bookkeeper”? Wondering just how much money you might save if you added DIY Bookkeeping to your plate and at what time cost. Your logic may suggest that DIY Bookkeeping is cheaper, but on closer consideration hiring a cloud-based bookkeeper will save you time and money.
Consider these experiences and how each scenario could play out…
DIY Bookkeeping – The Potential Extra Costs
You will pay more for your monthly subscription fees (accounting, payroll etc) as an individual company, vs what you may qualify to pay under a group subscription.
What is the hidden opportunity cost of YOUR time? What if you discover you dislike the added responsibility. How much time do you have to shift away from revenue generating activities to manage your books? Your time IS money – are you really saving by doing your bookkeeping yourself?
Are you aware of all your responsibilities and filing/payment schedules? Missed taxed deductions or late filings may lead to higher taxes and penalties. This will become problematic fast. If your DIY Bookkeeping at year end is found to be terribly out of order or not done at all the cost of hiring a professional to fix your books at tax time will be more expensive than having kept your books current with a professional bookkeeper.
You will not have clean numbers. You will not have the financial snapshot you need to consider your spending, investing, and other decisions you face as a small business owner.
DIY Bookkeeping. You’ll get what you pay for and what you put into it.
