Bookkeeping - is it just about number crunching?

The majority of business owners that employ a bookkeeper intially consider the support as simply completing accurate records to enable the business to meet its legal obligations of filing accounts and paying any tax due. But is a professional bookkeeper more value to your business?


Of course this is the primary role of a bookkeeper, but what is literally at the bookkeepers finger tips that can make a difference to your business?

• Their knowledge of what makes up a good financial system

• A systemised approach to your work that can integrate easily into your day to day working

• Their experience of other businesses and how they operate or analyse financial information

• The know how to get the most from your financial software package

• The passion for numbers and getting it right first time

• The relationship with local accountants, knowing what they want from you and when

• An understanding of your business financials to support your decision making

• A knowledge of your business, more than just the financials, as a trusted partner

• Your happiness, as you are no longer doing it!!!
