Did you know that more than ⅓ of small businesses across the country outsource business functions like bookkeeping, IT, and marketing?

When you started your business, you likely did so because you had a passion for your product or service and wanted to bring it to the world.

Now, you are running a small operation and most likely doing a lot of the work yourself.

For many, that includes bookkeeping. Often bookkeeping is one of the most stressful and overwhelming parts of running their business because it takes time, and time is something that small business owners don’t always have.

So why not look for expert bookkeepers to assist you in running your business? Adding another person to your team may seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. We have provided outsourced bookkeeping for many years and know how to make the transition to working with us a breeze.

Apart from saving time, there are several reasons to outsource bookkeeping to a professional virtual bookkeeper, and today we will be discussing 3 reasons why you should outsource bookkeeping.

It’s Cost-Effective

As a small business, you may not have the profits to afford an in-house bookkeeper, or you may not even have enough work to justify hiring a part-time one!

Hiring a virtual bookkeeper means you pay for services rendered. In short, you only for the work they put into your tasks. At Redmond, we work on fixed-fee engagements. This way, there are no surprise bills at the end of the month. You’ll also know what you can expect to pay.

You will save money by not having to add a bookkeeper to your payroll, offer insurance or benefits, and you won’t have to create a dedicated office space for them since everything is done virtually through cloud-based accounting software!

It’s Accessible

Speaking of cloud-based accounting, when you outsource bookkeeping, you make your financials accessible to view anywhere, anytime, 24/7. By using software like QuickBooks, Bill.com, Expensify, and Gusto, you are streamlining your processes and integrating them all so that they work together like a well-oiled machine. Your bookkeeper is the captain and runs your financial tasks through these systems to clearly understand your profits, expenses, and other financial information.

You’ll never have to wonder how your business is doing again!

Allows For Growth

By outsourcing bookkeeping, you save hours a week and days per year because you now have professionals handling that task. As a result, your bookkeeping will be more efficient, and you will significantly lessen the chance of error in your statements, ledgers, accounts payable, and more.

As you save time by not doing bookkeeping tasks, you can focus on scaling your business! A bonus is that as you grow, you’ve already got a knowledgeable bookkeeper at your side ready to grow with you!
