Why Use a Bookkeeper?

Small business owners often take care of everything from sales, production and billing to taking out the trash. The best businesses are lead by people who learn to delegate and focus their time on what they do best. Outside bookkeepers can get your accounting needs met at a third of the time and a fraction of the cost of doing it yourself. Most small businesses accounting records can be reconciled with only a couple of hours a week. No need to hire a person full time OR do it all yourself.
