Why Your CPA Wants You to Hire a Bookkeeper
Psst… Your CPA is trying to tell you something.
They want you to hire a bookkeeper.
“But I already have a CPA. Why do I need a bookkeeper?”
We’re going to get into that more, but first, you need to know: it’s not the same job.
In order to have a financially healthy and functioning business, hiring a CPA and a bookkeeper
(A.K.A. the dream team) will help you find even more success in your small business.
5 Reasons Your CPA is Secretly Begging You to Hire a Bookkeeper
1. Clean books
Your CPA loves it when you come to them with clean books. It makes their job easier!
Imagine if someone came to you in your business, asking for you to provide a service based on incomplete or mistake-ridden information…
Let’s just say, you wouldn’t love it.
Help your CPA do their job by hiring a bookkeeper to ensure your books are clean.
2. Bookkeeping is not a CPA’s job
They don't want to do it. And really, it's not part of their job. A CPA’s job is to help you file your taxes and inform you of your legal responsibilities with your finances.
It’s not their job to keep track of your income and expenses or help you increase your ROI.
That’s the daily task of a bookkeeper.
3. Forming a dream team
Your CPA is going to need specific answers and information from you that you might not know. But don’t stress!
Your bookkeeper’s got your back. If you have a bookkeeper, your CPA can ask them important questions that you may not know the answer to.
Place two money-savvy heads at the foundation of your business’s financial management, and you’ll be on your way to an increased ROI and more dolla dolla bills, ya’ll.
4. Reduced errors
To err is human. But you can’t afford that.
Documenting and organizing all your daily or weekly financial information within your business (like payroll, expenses, profits, and billing) ON TOP of running it is tiring.
So tiring, it can often lead to accidents and mistakes.
You work hard in your business. This is one of the reasons can’t afford not to hire a bookkeeper.
5. This one’s for you: Reduced CPA fees!
Sometimes, you have to spend money at first to save money in the end.
