Running a business means being the bookkeeper, the social media manager, the marketing team, the admin assistant, and probably customer support too. Oh and then there’s actually doing the work your clients hired you for.

If managing your books has become one of those “I’ll get to it later” tasks that never actually gets done, it might be time to bring in some support.

Here are a few signs it could be time to hand off the bookkeeping side of things 🙋‍♀️

1. Bookkeeping Is Taking Up Too Much of Your Time

If you’re spending hours each month trying to track expenses or figure out why something’s not balancing, that’s time you’re not spending growing your business. A bookkeeper can handle the numbers so you can stay in your zone of genius.

2. Your Books Are... Lowkey a Mess

Be honest… are you months behind? Haven’t opened your QuickBooks in months? Have a backlog flagged emails that say “upload this to QuickBooks”? You’re not alone. And you don’t have to dig out of it by yourself. A bookkeeper can help clean it all up and get things organized again (without judgment! 🤗).

3. Tax Season Sends You Into a Spiral

If “filing taxes” translates to “frantic scroll through your bank feed,” we’ve all been there. Keeping your books up to date throughout the year means way less stress when tax time rolls around!

4. You’re Guessing Your Way Through Business Decisions

Not sure if you can afford a new hire? Or wondering whether you’re actually making a profit after all your expenses? If you’re making financial decisions based on gut feelings instead of real numbers, it’s probably time to get some clarity. A bookkeeper can help with that.

5. Your Business Is Growing (Yay! 🥳)

Growth is exciting, but it usually means more to keep track of. More clients, more invoices, more expenses... and more room for things to slip through the cracks. A bookkeeper can help keep everything running smoothly as your business gets busier.

6. You’ve Made a Few Money Mistakes

We’ve all done it. Paid the same invoice twice. Missed a bill. Got hit with an overdraft fee. Little mistakes add up fast. A bookkeeper helps you stay organized so those slip-ups happen way less often.

7. You Want Support, But Not a Full-Time Hire

You don’t have to bring someone on payroll to get solid financial support. Working with a virtual bookkeeper (hello! 👋) gives you the help you need without the cost of hiring in-house.

If even one of these feels familiar, it might be time to get some bookkeeping support in place. Not just so things are tidy, but so you can make smart, confident decisions. And feel way less stressed in the process.
