How Can A Bookkeeper Fix Leaking Pipes
How Can A Bookkeeper Fix Leaking Pipes
Recently we discovered a leak in our mains water supply - we had been paying for water that we hadn’t been using, and were totally unaware of the leak until some landscaping work was being carried out in the front yard.
So we called a plumber who was more than happy to attend to this problem. Guess what? We didn’t want a plumber, what we wanted was a solution to our problem of leaking pipes, because we didn’t know how to fix the problem ourselves.
When you engage a bookkeeper, you are paying for a solution to your problem - you are paying for skills, knowledge and expertise.
Five minutes work and $160 later, we no longer had a leaking pipe!
The next time we had a leaking pipe, guess what? We didn’t call out the plumber, we just went down to the local hardware store and purchased similar accessories that the plumber used to fix the first leak, and fifteen minutes later the job was fixed for around $25 dollars (plus our time)
When you employ a bookkeeper (whether full-time, part-time or as a subcontractor), you are paying for their expertise as well as their skills, just as we paid for the plumber's knowledge and we learned from watching him.
You can watch and learn from your bookkeeper. You can even get your bookkeeper to teach you the necessary skills to do the bookwork, if that's what you want. Or you can decide to focus on what you do best in your business and let the bookkeeper do the rest in keeping track of your finances.
Yes, but my accountant does all that! - Really? Think about it. More often than not, you do not get to see your acountant until the end of the financial year, by which time it may be too late. As Business Owners / operators you need to keep a handle on your finances to keep your business running. In order to do that you need to ensure that your bookkeeping is kept upto date, is accurate and you can readily access relevant reports.

When you engage a bookkeeper, you are paying for a solution to your problem. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you need (or want) a bookkeeper - you just want the book-keeping work done. So how does that relate to leaking pipes?
