Whether you’re a new entrepreneur or a seasoned business owner, accurate and up-to-date bookkeeping is essential to making informed decisions and ensuring the long-term health and viability of your company. However, just like drinking enough water or getting enough sleep, timely bookkeeping is not always easy to do. That’s one of the reasons outsourcing your bookkeeping to a professional bookkeeping service is so beneficial. There are seven others. Keep reading to discover them and the word they spell.
Reduced Costs
Outsourced, or third-party, bookkeeping helps you save on payroll and operating expenses such as those associated with hiring, training, and providing benefits for an in-house bookkeeper. You can therefore redirect funds towards the core of your business.
Optimized Time Management
Whether you do the bookkeeping yourself or allocate the work to an employee, logging, analyzing, and reconciling financial records takes time away from other important managerial activities. By outsourcing bookkeeping services, you and your team can focus on improving and growing your business through excellent services, processes, and overall operations.
Better Financial Insights
To get an accurate picture of your company’s finances at any time and make solid business decisions, you need up-to-date balance sheets and lists of cash flow, profits, and losses. A professional bookkeeping service regularly provides these reports and insights for you to consult or share with stakeholders, employees, and financial advisors.
Efficient Tax Compliance
Just like flu season, tax season comes around every year. With an outsourced professional bookkeeping service, you will be ready to prepare and file your government remittances (including HST/GST) and payroll taxes such as T4/T4A, T3, and T5 slips accurately and on time.
Reduced Errors
Third-party bookkeeping services are comprised of experienced, trained professionals who use automated software to track finances, resolve issues, and thereby reduce errors that untrained bookkeeping staff or in-house bookkeepers may make, especially in their initial period.
Tailored Financial Solutions
By outsourcing your bookkeeping to a service, you gain the opportunity to collaborate with financial professionals who seek to understand your unique needs and do more than reconcile the numbers. They also customize financial plans, offer advice and guidance, and provide a comprehensive approach to your business’ finances including investments, taxes, insurance, estate planning, and more.
Scalable Services
As your business grows, so will your bookkeeping needs. With an outsourced bookkeeping service, you don’t need to worry about hiring additional staff to manage the increased volume. Your third-party service will scale and grow with you.
