5 Signs It’s Time to Outsource Your Bookkeeping (Before It Costs You More)

March 31, 20252 min read

Many business owners hesitate to outsource their bookkeeping because they see it as an unnecessary expense rather than an investment. That is until they realise that doing it themselves is actually costing them more. 

Here are 5 clear signs it’s time to get support: 

  1. You are spending too much of your time doing your books instead of running your business. Actually, processing the data is only part of the story and I always say the magic happens when you use the data to help you drive the business to where you want it to go too. If all your time is going on the doing you will be missing the ways to improve your business. 

  1. Your books are always behind, and your cash is always a worry. By outsourcing your bookkeeping it will likely be updated daily, weekly or monthly as a minimum. This enables you to see how your business is performing, and the data can be used real time to project your cash giving you peace of mind or the foresight that you need to change something before you really do run out of cash. 

  1. You worry if you are compliant with tax. Having outsourced support in this area will mean you always know what you should be doing and when. 

  1. You’ve made errors that have cost you money in the past. 

  1. You want better insights to support your business growth. How often do you speak to other business owners that started with a dream of more money and a flexible lifestyle that end up work twice as hard for half as much.  

Part of why I am so passionate about helping business owners to have accurate up to date financial information is so it can help them to ensure their business is actually giving them the life they want to lead.  

Working with a financial business partner helps you to step into to actually managing the business and leading it the right way towards your dream.
