PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

THE PROBLEM:

You know that your company must either grow or fail. But effectively growing your company often requires you to choose between spending money you don't have or spending time you can't afford to lose. This is particularly true when it c omes to your bookkeeping.

In attempting to strike a balance between getting the books handled properly and trying not to spend too much time and money, many businesses make some common mistakes:

• Allowing the bookkeeping to fall apart. Some entrepreneurs allow their financial records to fall into disarray. This means that while they are focusing on other aspects of their business, money is lost, accounts are mismanaged, and bills are left unpaid. Poor bookkeeping costs money. Maintaining good financial records the first time will always be less costly and time consuming than fixing mistakes later.
• Spending time on the books when they should be running the business. Others spend too much time and energy doing the bookkeeping themselves. Time spent on the books is time not spent bringing in business, managing staff, or simply catching their breath.
• Hiring a full-time bookkeeper before it is necessary. A third common mistake is prematurely bringing someone in-house to handle the bookkeeping. This can be a tremendous financial burden for something that is better handled on an as-need basis. Also, there is more risk in hiring an individual than there is in a qualified team.

There is a better way…
