FAQs

When should I hire an accountant or bookkeeper to handle my books?

If you are asking yourself this question, the time is likely now. The decision to hire a professional is usually triggered by a business owner’s experience of needing to produce accurate financial data for an insurance audit, tax prep, or a loan application and coming to the realization that their books are either non-existent or are in a complete state of disarray. The accounting data may be so far off it is a detriment rather than a help. Business owners are often costing themselves money by paying more in taxes than they actually need to or missing out on opportunities because they can't produce accurate financial statements. Hiring a professional will help you to maximize the clarity of your company’s books so you have complete awareness of your income and expenses. This awareness fosters growth and success, keeping you "in the black!"

Bookkeeper vs Accountant?

There are many levels of knowledge and many specialties and designations in the industry. Experience matters. Remember that famous commercial about the barber shop that fixes $6 haircuts? We are that barber...er... make that... we are that accounting professional! Combined experience of over 30 years keeping a clean house in your financial records! You may find less expensive help by the hour, but you won't find it less expensive to have less than the best with In The Black!

Why should I outsource my bookkeeping?

Sure you could place an ad, hold interviews, hope that the person presenting themself is all they say they are and that their references are real... Aunt Jo, is that you? You will need to train them, find a spot for them in your office, provide office supplies, etc., etc. Or you could outsource to a trusted professional. Pay the proper amount in taxes, maximize profitability, know the integrity of your books, and most of all, have more time to focus on what you love to do and are passionate about!
