THE ROI OF HIRING A BOOKKEEPER

Hiring a bookkeeper is an investment.

So, what kind of return can you expect from investing in a bookkeeper for your business?

DIY vs. Professional Bookkeeping: Understanding Costs, Risks, and Benefits

As a business owner, it’s tempting to manage every aspect of your operations, including bookkeeping. While this do-it-yourself approach might seem cost-effective at first, it’s often time-consuming, and stressful, and can lead to costly mistakes.

On this page, we’ll delve into the significant benefits of hiring a professional bookkeeper. You’ll learn how expert bookkeeping services can ensure accurate, up-to-date financial records, streamline tax preparation, and empower you to make informed business decisions. We’ll also discuss the hidden costs of DIY bookkeeping, including the substantial time investment required and the risks associated with potential financial inaccuracies.

Ultimately, whether you choose to outsource your bookkeeping will depend on your business’s specific needs and circumstances. However, by understanding both the tangible and intangible costs and benefits of professional bookkeeping services, you’ll be equipped to make a well-informed decision about the best approach for your business’s financial management.

How Much Is Your Time Worth?

As a business owner, it's important to recognize that your time is valuable, and just because you own your business, it doesn't mean you should work for free.

It's worth calculating how much your time is worth to understand the opportunity cost of doing tasks that can be outsourced.

For example:

  • If you're a freelance graphic designer, how much do you charge for a logo that takes 10 hours to design and revise?

  • If you spend 30 hours a week running your e-commerce store, what is your average weekly profit, and how much does that translate to an hourly wage?

  • If you have part-time employees at your brick-and-mortar store, how much are they making per hour?

For instance, if you spend two hours a week doing bookkeeping, you could use that time for activities that reinvest in your business, such as planning new markets to move into, researching new products to carry, finding ways to reduce expenses, or taking business management courses.

By outsourcing your bookkeeping to Simplifi Bookkeeping, you can focus on higher-value activities that grow your business and increase profitability.
