As a business owner, my time is my most critical asset. I could spend the time reconciling my accounts, or I could use that time to handle growth projects, assess my operations for efficiency, or just go out to lunch. I love that.
Of course I pay you, and that costs me money. But your experience and accuracy save me from making costly accounting mistakes that can cost me even more in the future. Investing in you is investing in me. Win, win.
Weekly and monthly bookkeeping and balancing is always valuable to me, but when I was starting up and needed to ensure I set up my accounts and tracking properly, you were there for me. You took on the role of financial organizer so I could stay focused on growing. Without you I wouldn't be where I am today.
There are so many ways that money flows in and out of my business, from little things like new paperclips to big things like adding a new employee, and you take all of those pieces of information and paint them together. You give me the information I need to see the big picture and make informed decisions without getting bogged down in all the little bits. That's pretty darn valuable.
I got in this business for a reason, and it wasn't because I love doing the books. You allow me to focus on the stuff I'm good at, the stuff that keeps me going, the stuff I was meant to do. That is worth its weight in gold.
