Hiring a bookkeeper may cost money but it could actually save you money (and stress) in the long run. There are multiple reasons a business may benefit from a professional bookkeeper like ours here at Millhouses Accountancy. We’ve been helping businesses throughout South Yorkshire keep on top of their business’s finances for years. So, why do businesses choose to use our bookkeeping services?

1) Having a bookkeeper allows you to focus on your business

You can devote your time to the needs of your business while the bookkeeping is left to experienced, qualified individuals. Something that may take you 4 hours of stress and recalculating could take a bookkeeper just 30 minutes. Hiring a bookkeeper could be a more time and cost effective option.

2) The chances are, you didn’t start a business to pull your hair out over the accounts – so don’t!

A professional bookkeeper has all of the knowledge needed to deal with these otherwise stressful and often tedious situations. They are qualified to handle these areas of business and they will be able to catch any potential errors. We ensure taxes and bills are paid on time, ensure forms are filled out correctly. We’ll also help you avoid fees and penalties by keeping up to date on all the accounts and forms.

3) Gives you a fresh & unbiased perspective

When it comes to looking at the finances and the future of your business it pays to get the fresh and unbiased perspective of a professional. Bookkeepers will be able to look at the bigger picture and help to advise you on areas where your efforts are succeeding and any areas of concern. Understanding the numbers and any irregularities will help you to gain clarity on what’s working and what’s not.

4) Ensure bills are paid on time

When you are running a business, it is easy to forget to pay a bill or run late on payments. This can result in late fees and impact your credit score. A bookkeeper will help you to avoid this by keeping your accounts in order and ensuring bills are always paid on time.

5) Peace of Mind

Not only will handing the bookkeeping over to someone else free you from the hours of dealing with a task that you most likely hate, it will also give you the peace of mind of knowing it is completed on time and without any errors. When it comes to taxes, VAT reclaim, invoices, paying bills, managing payrolls and even the day to day finances of your business a bookkeeper can prove to be an invaluable asset.
