Spring Into Outsourcing - Here’s Why

Spring is in full bloom and the summer months are upon us! Our list of things to do seems to get longer and the days become busier. It’s only normal for some things to eventually slip through the cracks, but your bookkeeping cannot be one of them. Outsourcing is a great way to ensure that your books are completed and accurate at all times, while also not having to think about it at all! Not convinced? We have some more reasons outsourcing may be right for you…

Pass it off to an expert. 

Passing off your bookkeeping to an expert will have you resting easy, knowing your books are in the right hands. Rather than hiring an employee who may need to be trained, you can work with a knowledgeable expert who will be ready to get started. By using an expert, you can also ensure you’ll be receiving the best quality work. 

Save money. 

By outsourcing, you eliminate the time it takes and money it costs to interview and on-board a new employee. This also saves you from the costs of adding a new employee, whether part-time or full-time, and the costs related to doing so. When you outsource, you also only pay for the service you have completed. This cuts out the costs of paying an hourly or salary employee, so that you’re only paying for the time spent on the service. 

Save time.

You no longer have to sort through your stack of receipts, log your transitions, or anything else - your bookkeeper will take care of it for you. This means you have more time to focus on other areas of running your business. Spending less time on your books is one of the big wins of outsourcing! 

Maximize your resources. 

As a small business, you may not have access to the best resources, for an array of reasons. By outsourcing to a reputable company or bookkeeper, you’ll likely gain access to some of the best accounting software out there. 

Flexibility. 

You get to decide which bookkeeping tasks you’d like completed. If you want to hand over your basic day-to-day entries but continue doing payroll yourself, that’s fine. If you want to take your hands off the reigns completely, that’s also fine. You decide which tasks you need done. There is a flexibility with outsourcing that you may not necessarily have otherwise. 

If you’re still on the fence about outsourcing, consider doing your own research. It may be helpful to schedule some consultations with potential bookkeepers or companies to see if outsourcing would be right for you and your business.
