7 Benefits of Outsourcing Your Bookkeeping This Year

Maybe you’re wrapping up your books from last year—or maybe you’re just getting started. Maybe you’re somewhere in between. But, wherever you are, you’re starting to consider what life would be like if you decided to start outsourcing your bookkeeping.

One of the first things creative business owners and coaches tend to outsource in their business is bookkeeping, and for good reason. When your books are in order, you have more insights into your income and expenses, more clarity in making business decisions, and a smoother tax time experience.

And that’s just the beginning.

So, if you’re considering hiring a bookkeeper this year, here are some of the benefits you can experience:

#1. Financial Clarity

Since your bookkeeper is keeping track of your accounts every month, they often share statements along with insights once the month is complete. This insight helps you to better understand your business’s financial health (and see just how profitable your services are).

#2. Tax Efficiency

When you work with a bookkeeper, you have access to the best strategies to minimize tax liabilities and ensure compliance with tax regulations. Plus, your bookkeeper will have your year-end report which can easily be sent over to your tax professional for quick filing.

#3. Budgeting and Forecasting

With monthly statements and insights, you now have the information you need to create a realistic budget and financial forecast to plan for growth and manage cash flow.

#4. Cost Control

A potentially unexpected benefit of outsourcing your bookkeeping is that when you invest in a bookkeeper you also get cost control. Your bookkeeper will help you identify and reduce unnecessary expenses in your business to improve profitability.

#5. Business Advice

Since your bookkeeper has your financial insights and information on hand, you can get additional insights into financial decisions, investments, and growth opportunities based on data analysis.

#6. Technology Integration

You’re not stuck trying to set up Quickbooks or Xero on your own. Your bookkeeper will help with implementing accounting software and the tools to streamline financial processes.

#7. Year-Round Support

One of the biggest benefits of outsourcing your bookkeeping? Year-round support. You get ongoing access to your bookkeeper to ask any questions and get financial guidance beyond tax season.
