If you ask most business owners and managers what they enjoy doing
most during the work day, "bookkeeping" usually comes
right after "dealing with the IRS." It just doesn't rank
very well on the enjoyability meter.
And enjoyability aside, bookkeeping can be a somewhat daunting
task. The reality is that, in order to keep clean, useful books,
you have to have a reasonable background in accounting. You don't
need to be a CPA, but it's not so simple that you'll have a complete
understanding by only reading "Bookeeping for Dummies,"
either.
(Did you know that "bookkeeper" is the only word in English
that has three consecutive pairs of letters? No, "bookkeepers"
does not count...)
In addition, keeping accurate records will pay huge dividends at
tax time (no pun intended), because whoever prepares your tax forms
will be thrilled to see that most of their job has already been
done. This allows them to focus on the important matters, which
translates into a shorter preparation time as well as a lower cost
for you.
Without doubt, the most popular software for small business
bookkeeping is QuickBooks. For some people and some businesses,
it's very simple to get started, and in minutes they are up and
running. In some cases, however, it takes a longer thought process
to set up the software correctly. After all, your accounting software
is more than just a tool to record income and expenses. You should
also be using it as a management tool to generate reports so that
you can really see what's going on with your business.
We have signficant experience with QuickBooks, and we've used it
with clients in a number of industries. Whether you need help setting
your software up, or you'd like someone to teach you how to use
it, we can help. Or maybe you'd prefer to rid yourself of the task
altogether, in which case we can support you on a part-time, outsourced
basis.
No matter which way you go, you'll find that we can make keeping
accurate, relevant records simple.
