Why You Should Hire a Bookkeeper or Accountant, Anton Ewing
October, 2011
by Anton Ewing, J.D., C.P.A., C.F.P.®, P.C.
A Certified Financial Planner, lawyer, and seasoned accountant, Anton Ewing has experience in a wide range of financial areas, including tax management, accounting, audits, financial planning, and preparing financial statements. At his CPA firm, based in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California, Mr. Ewing has offered clients a number of services, including bookkeeping, since 2004. Here, he explains some of the advantages of hiring a bookkeeper to facilitate the tracking of a business’ financial affairs.
Many entrepreneurs and owners of small businesses start out planning to do their own accounting and bookkeeping. However, this task can take as many as 10 hours a week. Additionally, with the complexity of financial regulations and practices, even small errors can cause serious problems for a business. Hiring an accountant or bookkeeper assists business owners as they regain the time they need to devote to their companies while ensuring that all financial details are properly attended to and organized.
Business owners should view a bookkeeper or accountant as a key part of their management plans. These trained professionals can offer advice on a wide range of issues, including things like buying a company vehicle, planning for taxes, and avoiding late fees and redundancies. Although hiring such a professional is an expense, an experienced bookkeeper can apply careful accounting practices, often saving businesses money.
Although accountants sometimes offer bookkeeping services, bookkeepers and accountants serve different purposes. While accountants provide “big picture” advice, including strategic advice, tax-filing services, and profit-and-loss documents, bookkeepers handle the day-to-day financial operations, including overseeing employee payroll and paperwork, invoicing, and paying bills. Depending on your budget and the size of your company, you may wish to hire an accountant, a bookkeeper, or both to facilitate the management of your professional finances.
