Why should I hire a bookkeeper?

Running a business can be stressful. When you’re a busy business owner doing what you do best, spending time trying to maintain records can bring added stress to your already busy life. So why not let a bookkeeper take some of the work from your plate?

A bookkeeper knows the ins-and-outs of what is allowable and disallowable, VAT rates on specific items and will make sure that your accounting records are frequently and accurately maintained and reconciled. This allows you to understand your business’ financial position very easily, ensures that any drawings or dividends you’re taking are allowed, and saves you the stress of trying to guess what things are and how they should be recorded.

Bookkeepers are continually involved in Professional Development, so they're always up to date with changes in legislation, becoming a trusted advisor to your business, and ensuring your compliant with the relevant authorities.

A bookkeeper saves you time from admin work to focus on the things that you enjoy doing! Whether this is giving you more time to put into your business or freeing up your personal time to spend with family and friends, having a professional bookkeeper maintaining your records saves you the time and effort of doing it yourself, and gives you peace of mind that everything is in order.

Some bookkeepers will also offer management accounting services, to help with cashflows, budgeting, forecasting and understanding your business' financial position through easy-to-read reports. This gives you the opportunities for easy growth as you can see where your business needs to improve, what it is doing well and how you can invest and expand your business (if you want to, of course!)

Hiring a bookkeeper to your business is an asset and the cost of a bookkeeper will save you time and money in the long run. To find out more about using our bookkeeping services, take a look at our services, or get in touch!
