As a renowned disrupter of the bookkeeping market, I am often asked why a small business owner needs to rely on professional external bookkeeping support, rather than doing it themselves or considering a cheaper alternative to save money.
This is an easy question to answer because it is a no-brainer.
There are times in your life when only a qualified expert will do. For example, if you are about to undergo brain surgery, will you be happy if you found out that your surgeon was a plumber who had read a book on brain surgery and thinks he knows enough to do the operation? Or would you rather know that your surgeon has many years of experience doing exactly the operation planned for you, has trained his team to the peak of professionalism and that they have an outstanding success record?
Although I am not trying to compare bookkeeping and brain surgery, there is a principle here that applies to both scenarios. There is absolutely no comparison between reading a book or playing with a bookkeeping program for a little while, and the skill and experience of a fully qualified bookkeeper.
But why is this so important?
Your business records are the most important part of your business. As well as keeping the ATO and ASIC onside, having up to date and accurate accounts helps you understand what is happening inside your business, and provides the foundation for making the right decisions.
So, back to why you need a qualified bookkeeper, an employee of My Accounts or at least a member of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers.
