Our clients come to us for many reasons, but mainly because they want an expert eye that saves them time, money and alleviates the hassle of managing the books. Here are our top 7 benefits to outsourcing your bookkeeping as a small business owner: 

#1 – Scale Your Business
When you can detach yourself from your bookkeeping workload, you have time to focus on areas of your business that are poised for growth.

Saving time = gaining new clients.

#2 – Cut Overhead to Increase Profitability
You reduce accounting costs by not having an in-house bookkeeper. By paying an outsourced certified bookkeeper, you automatically increase the value of your firm. It means you don't have to pay for things like payroll taxes, overhead and, sick leave. Another bonus is that you manage your outsourced bookkeeper more stringently to ensure you are getting what you pay for. 

#3 – Tax and Audit Ready Financials
When we talk about peace of mind for your business, there is nothing that will help you sleep better at night than knowing that your business is audit-ready at any given moment. Bookkeeping firms are always working on your books, ensuring that they are ready for the next tax cycle or ready for any kind of audit that may come your way.
