There’s a great coffee shop / takeaway food outlet in one of our local shopping centres. Go there during the week from around 10.30 am, through to mid afternoon, and you’ll find great food very friendly staff and excellent service.

In the beginning, they would be seen working hard from early morning through to late afternoon, when they closed the doors to customers. Then they would start doing all the cleaning up, stock takes, ordering and preparation for the next day.

As the business has been developing and expanding, the owners became swamped in invoices, till receipts, and delivery dockets. They had no system to deal with the documentation associated with running a coffee shop.

After a while they became increasingly aware of the importance of keeping the paperwork in order, and struggled to get a routine established.

Having already put in long hours, and their heads full of the busy-ness of the day, they would go home and endeavor to tackle the paperwork. Gradually the energy level would drop, and the paperwork would build up.

Right in the middle of the day, and the busiest time for the staff, the phone would ring, and they’d grab the credit card to pay the creditors, relying on suppliers to send through statements at some stage.

Fortunately they realized they couldn’t keep up with the bookwork. They made the decision to engage bookkeepers to keep track of the business. on a number of occasions they found that they had paid bills twice, or became confused about what payments had been made and statements not reflecting the current financial position.

Not only have we as bookkeepers been able to help them streamline their account procedures, we have been able to free them up of their time. Valuable time that they can spend at working ON their business, rather than working IN their business.

Outsourcing your bookkeeping means that you can now go home in the knowledge that you can put your feet up and relax after a hard day’s work. You need not be stressed by the thought of having to wade through a pile of dockets, receipts and invoices.

No longer will you find yourself paying the same invoice twice, because you pay from the statement and then panic thinking you haven’t paid the invoice.

Savvy business owner understands the importance of bookkeeping to keep track of your business.
