Do I need a bookkeeper?
If you’re spending hours on your books every week, falling behind on monthly close, or making business decisions without accurate numbers, you need professional bookkeeping.
Most business owners start doing their own books to save money. That works until you hit about $250k in revenue. Past that point, the time you spend on bookkeeping costs more than hiring someone who knows what they’re doing.
You need a bookkeeper when your books are more than two months behind, when you don’t know if you’re profitable, when tax season is stressful because nothing is organized, or when your CPA keeps asking you to fix errors before they can file your return.
If you’re doing over $250k in annual revenue and bookkeeping takes you more than a few hours per month, hire someone. The time you save is worth more than the cost.
