5 Key Ways Hiring a Small Business Accountant Will Save Your Dream

August 25, 2015 By The Balance Sheet

As a small business owner, you were able to make your passion and dream become a reality. As your business grows you will have to graduate from doing everything and begin to employ others to cover certain administrative tasks. An accountant can help you realize your dream in five interconnected but distinct ways.bs1-edited

Year-Round Accounting Tracking is Not Your Problem

Having a competent accounting team support you year-round means you don’t have to track IRS deadlines. Your accountant tracks tax deadlines for your business and makes sure the IRS receives accurate and complete forms in time.

Outsourcing Accounting Services is Cost-Efficient

Your time is valuable. Your employees’ time is valuable. It is a waste of time and resource to try and have someone “learn on the job” when you can outsource to an expert and not have to pay for training. Your team member can focus instead using their skills to help your business grow.

Ultimately, you will save by avoiding training and the additional salary of an in-house accountant.

Accounting Services Gives More Control Over Your Small Business

Maxine Taylor of The Balance Sheet in West Palm Beach, Florida says that businesses “armed with accurate records of past and current books are better able to make projections and financial decisions for their businesses.” Which then leads to the ability to make better decisions.

Well-Done Accounting Leads to Intelligent Business Decisions

“Intelligent decisions” means deciding on a direction based on a good premise. A well-maintained and complete database leads to accurate financial reports and charts. These help you assess the health of your company and choose actions to improve and strengthen it, which ultimately leads to higher profit.

Accurate Accounting Leads to Higher Profit

As ‘The Five Stages of Small Business Growth’ by Niel Churchill and Virginia L. Lewis put it, profit is at the heart of bookkeeping. Your accountant can make sure you have the right bookkeeping foundation, that costly tax and IRS mistakes don’t occur, and that you receive the financial analysis of your business that you need for decision-making. Ultimately, all of these efforts are geared towards making your business more profitable. A good accountant never loses sight of that goal.

Making your dream business flourish requires having a great support team, especially in regards to accounting. Contact Maxine Taylor, the power behind The Balance Sheet, today for a consultation and find out how she can put her experience and expertise to work helping you build and strengthen your dream.

Great Accounting Services for Small Businesses to Exceed the Basics

August 25, 2015 By The Balance Sheet

Many entrepreneurs wear multiple hats, from managing marketing to managing employees; the responsibilities can quickly add up. One task they should pass on to an expert is the company’s accounting. Hiring an accountant specialized in small business accounting provides security and ensures that your finances are in order. They can also keep your personal finances on track. Your local small business accountant can easily become a trusted advisor and your go-to person for accounting, allowing you to focus more on the growth of your business.

How Do I Create a Relationship with my Accountant to make them a Trusted Advisor in my Business?

Your accountant should be:

  • Dedicated to your business
  • Trustworthy
  • Able to provide effective advice
  • Consistent
  • Able to provide full disclosure in their decision making process
  • Be a good listener

All of these traits help lay the groundwork to build a long-lasting business relationship.bs2

Once you feel you have a trustworthy and professional accountant, it’s important to sit with them and discuss what’s important to you and your business. Discuss what type of working relationship you would like to have. Your small business accountant will appreciate your openness and will likely become someone that you can trust with your accounting needs.

How Can my Accountant Help Balance my Personal and Business Finances?

As a small business owner, it’s very important to separate your personal and business finances. Blurring the lines between the two can result in muddy finances. Different rules apply to each entity and staying up-to-date with business regulations and requirements is much easier when your business doesn’t have to compete with your household. Your trusted accountant will be able to help you handle each of them.

What Does this Mean for my Bottom Line?

Handing over your personal and business finances to a small business accountant provides many benefits:

  • Saves money
  • Saves valuable time
  • Ensures proper completion of paperwork
  • Provides confidence that local laws and timelines are adhered to
  • Aligns business and personal goals and actions
