So you think you don't need a bookkeeper?

So you think you don't need a bookkeeper?  Well in some cases that may be true.  But think of it this way.  The time that you spend on billing, collections, payables could outweigh the time spent on looking for new business...and in the end what have you to show for it?

Bookkeepers not only record the information after it happens, we also take care of the billing and payables as they happen.  How can you concentrate on meeting with that new client while in the back of your mind you are thinking about preparing that invoice for Mr. Jones, that telephone call to Ms. Johnson regarding her past due bill or did I make that payment to PSEG this morning?

Business Owners wear many hats but bookkeeeping shouldn't be one of them.  Just like you hire Sales Representatives to sell your service or Customer Service Representatives to handle the customer inquiries you need someone managing your Accounting Department.

Now, you are the Solo Owner, the Sales Representative and the Customer Service Department all wrapped in one.  And you are trying to manage your bookkeeping as well.  After talking with clients and customers all day...what is the first thing you want to do? Bookkeeping?...Not!
