When owning a business the financial aspect of it can be overwhelming. So it’s not surprising that many owners decide to hire a bookkeeper to handle the finances.
Yet, even though they decide to let someone else handle their money, they might not have any expectations of what the bookkeepers will do for them.
It is important to hold them to a certain set of expectations to make sure you are getting the most of what you’re paying for.
Hold Them To A High Standard
Most importantly, make sure you have good communication with your bookkeeper. You don’t want to misunderstand them or vice versa so make sure you are both speaking the same language.
This will lead to a great relationship, which is important considering the information they have access to.
It would also be smart for you to have them educate you on certain aspects of finance. This way you have more of an idea what’s happening, and can keep up the good communication with your bookkeeper.
A Bookkeeper can do so much more than entering your vendor bills! Have them dive into your financial statements to unleash profits. Do you know what your EBITDA and ROI is? No? A good bookkeeper can tell you and tell you why you care.
Lastly, you want to make sure they are competent; this can be seen by how they handle your finances as well as conversations with you. Competency leads to improved financials and they will absolutely make a difference in your company.
