Business owners are busy enough with everything they need to do to keep their company inline. Doing your own bookkeeping takes a ton of time because you are not a professional at it. You need to learn how to do it correctly and it always takes longer than you might expect. Here are three reasons why you might feel like you are behind in your bookkeeping.
Lack of Time
As a business owner you are extremely busy. You are trying to run your company, go to meetings, keep track of your employees, and all the other tasks you need to do. Your days are usually very long and full of stress. When it comes to finances you do not have a lot of time to do them well. They do not seem very important to you until something is due, or you need a financial report. Then it adds even more stress because you are trying to get your finances together with very little to no time. Having someone do your bookkeeping for you would allow you to have one less thing to do.
Lack of Knowledge
If you are a business owner, you may not have a lot of knowledge about bookkeeping and finances. It is hard to know how to properly keep track of all your finances and know where you need to save and spend more money. There are 28 million small businesses just in the United States. Of those 28 million companies 66% of them break even or lose money. A big reason for that is because a lot of businesses owners try to handle their finances themselves and they end up losing money because they do not know how to do it correctly.
Mis-Prioritizing Tasks
As a business owner, you focus on how to make your company successful. You may not keep track of your finances as closely as you should. Finances are more of an after thought when you think about your company. But, they should be a huge priority. You just may not have time. When you prioritize your finances, it makes it a lot easier when tax time comes around and when you need to turn in your financial statements.
