Isn?t book-keeping just plugging 1 or 2 figures into a P. C. programme?

In brief, NO!

It continues to astonish me how many people out there and in business think that all bookkeepers do is enter figures into a P. C. programme which then miraculously spits out a perfect set of accounts.

Hmm, if only!!

Book keeping, or in a sense good bookkeeping, is more involved than just pumping numbers into a programme and it's an ill-judged a real long shot concept that bookkeepers are just glorified info entry operators! Good bookkeepers will be a handy asset to your business. Good bookkeepers know the way to enter figures into a PC program properly, or write up a ledger, but as significantly, they know exactly where and how those figures should be entered.

Attempting to unravel a mess that a non-bookkeeper has made is a long thing! It?s something that we at Bookkeeper?s Base do all the time. Sadly for many entrepreneurs it isn?t until a they are in a state of desperation because they have no idea of what is occurring in their business.

Seem all too familiar??

Personally, it gives me and my team a great feeling of satisfaction to be well placed to take a total information entry mess and make it into a neat, neat and correct set of accounts. Nevertheless with any service which adds significant value it comes with a monetary investment, and to my mind, it's an investment worth making and sadly (hindsight being 20/20) one that would have been better spent in contracting a bookkeeper from the word go and not having a untidy situation first of all. It?s no coincidence that once a business has engaged a professional bookkeeper and has easy to read profit & loss statements as well as a real understanding of how their money is being used , that these entrepreneurs become firm converts to employing a bookkeeper.

Think about a bookkeeper as you would an accountant. A bookkeeper will aid you with your business and will make your accountant?s job much easier.

You wouldn?t get your office helper to do your tax estimate for you, so why would you let them run blindfolded with the financial info that goes into it?

Contact a real Perth bookkeeper and get your book-keeping done professionally.
