Sometimes you want to say, “Just GO AWAY! I’m trying to get some business done here!”
But you love your bookkeeper, don’t you? Your bookkeeper provides information to the accountants, bankers and future investors. They maximize your cash flow. They keep track of your receivables and contact your customers that haven’t paid you if they run even a day late.
They know who your most profitable customer is and which customer you need to fire. They can tell you how much of your bank balance is available, including outstanding checks. They organize your files so you can find things without having to dig through piles of papers. They respond to the unexpected letter from the IRS that you have no idea what to do with. They even prepare checks for you to sign, and the envelope and the stamp. They do the work that you hate to do and may even cause you intense anxiety.
Sometimes you just want to jump across the desk and give them a big hug for making your life so much easier--but a smile and a thank you will do! Bookkeepers are a key part of your financial process. They must understand several aspects of accounting, have a strong sense of time management, and be organized. If you are in need of a bookkeeper, reach out to us at www.budgetease.biz to see how we can make your financials (and QuickBooks) work for you.
