So far in this series of posts, we’ve examined what to look for when you’re ready to hire a bookkeeper and how to prevent fraud and mismanagement issues. In this post, we’re going to see why you might want to consider outsourcing your bookkeeping to a specialized team.

When the time comes that you’re ready to get some help with your bookkeeping, a specialized team can provide five key benefits:

  1. Save money. With an outsourced bookkeeping team, you don’t have to hire a full-time employee. You’re able to access only what you need, and not have to pay for what you don’t.
  2. Save time. A specialized team will save you time not only on the hours spent tracking transactions, but also by providing you with recommendations on how to improve your operations from a financial standpoint, saving you even more time.
  3. Rely on experience and expertise. When you have a highly-skilled staff available to you, you can have confidence that your business’s financial health is being looked after by true experts. A specialized team will also be using industry-leading tools that would be prohibitively expensive for you to purchase on your own.
  4. Gain access to a team. When you hire an outsourced bookkeeping team, you have access to several experienced team members, rather than a single person. Teamwork will provide you with a more robust skill set than a lone individual.
  5. Be scalable. Have a sudden growth spurt? No problem — an outsourced team can route additional resources to you immediately. Experiencing a slowdown? No need to worry about laying off employees or moving a full-time person to part-time — an outsourced team is flexible and happy to mold exactly to your needs.
