Bookkeeping services of Bookkeepers Plus Inc. for businesses in Long Island, NYBookkeeping is a broad term used to include all the tasks that involve the creation and maintaining of records about all financial transactions in your company. It is the function that basically comes BEFORE your accountant or CPA does his or her work... the work for which you pay a much higher hourly rate due to the expertise required. Commonly businesses do not realize this and have their accountant do quite a lot of bookkeeping work, thus paying an unduly high price for many tasks that a bookkeeper would perform at a far lower cost.
The problems of bookkeeping from the business owner's viewpointHiring a bookkeeper is not always the best alternative to paying a premium to have your accountant perform the bookkeeping tasks. Firstly, your business needs to have grown to a certain size before you can afford a full-time bookkeeper comfortably. Secondly, who's to say when there's enough work to keep a full-time bookkeeper busy day in and day out? Thirdly, the growth of your business isn't going to stagnate at the level where there's just enough work for your bookkeeper, obviously. So once the work increases beyond the capacity of your bookkeeper, you're again in the same mess, having to consider hiring an additional bookkeeper who may have too little to do for quite a while until your company's transactions again bring you to the same quandary. Fourthly, how will you know whether or not the person you hire is really professionally adequate to keep your books, transactions, receipts, checks, invoices, bills and whatnots in correct order? And how do you estimate whether or not the job could be done faster or in a more effective way? Or evaluate if the way your bookkeeper does things is the best in terms of your interests, so your costs are minimized? Yet the problems won't stop here. Establishing and maintaining your own bookkeeping function, you'll need to invest quite a bit. An office room with ample space for storing the documents, folders and materials. Computers with printers and whatnots. Accounting software with training, updates for new software version, and the cost of technical support. Additional training (materials and courses) for your bookkeeper(s) as they need to keep up to date with all the changes in bookkeeping / accounting / taxation laws, rules, regulations and practices... ...and all the costs that come with any additional employee. Now, here's the "two rules of outsourcing" with which you can evaluate any member of your team and the importance of having that function performed by an employee within your company:
I think it's safe to say that bookkeeping is not directly included in either of those categories above. Thus it is a routine that can easily be outsourced. It is also a function whose outsourcing is bound to bring mainly benefits to your current situation. Ask yourself this about bookkeeping: Do you really WANT these headaches? Or would you prefer to use your time in a more productive way?
Outsourcing bookkeeping: How to save money and avoid problemsWhen you outsource your bookkeeping to a professional bookkeeping firm then you get the best of two worlds. You will save about 50% on cost by not burdening your accountant or CPA with these tasks which factually misemploy his or her level of professionalism. And you won't have any of the risks or problems associated with employing one or more bookkeepers. You pay only for tasks DONE and completed to satisfactory standards. You receive only the results, never any problems that we may or may not have in creating the results for you. You'll never again have any employee-related problems with bookkeeping and all the tasks that go with it. Solutions only, never problems... and at 50% less cost than if you had your accountant or CPA perform the same tasks.
