Sometimes it’s tough to decide on what type of help you need for your small business, because that help is going to cost you money. But the financials of your business are something that can’t keep. Here are the questions that you should ask yourself, when deciding whether you need an accountant for your small business and it is worth every penny.
Can I Do My Small Business Accounting Myself? Just how much do you know about accounting? Do you understand the difference between single entry and double entry bookkeeping systems? How about the meanings of FIFO or LIFO? What’s an Income Statement? If you can’t answer these questions, and you feel you should be able to, or maybe some of this terminology has come up in conversation at your business, then maybe it’s time to bring in an accountant.
Am I Tech Savvy? Perhaps you use computer software every day, and you play with some apps from time to time, but don’t consider yourself an ‘expert’? This may not have to be a problem when it comes to accounting. Chances are, you’ve got other things to focus on anyway, like selling your product or service. You want an accountant that can easily keep track of your Incomes and expenses, as well as generate other reports like MIS, Ageing Report and Prepare Budgets etc.
What Can an Accountant Do for Me? Do you understand exactly what an accountant can bring to the table? This can help you decide on whether it’s worth hiring one.
An accountant can help you with data management, financial analysis, the generation of financial reports and can also ensure that your company meets regulatory compliance with its accounting practices.
What Happens to My Business Long Term If I Don’t Hire an Accountant Now? Consider your business now. How fast is it growing? Perhaps you’re working late two nights a week, just to keep up on the accounting. Perhaps you feel that’s worth it, just so you have a good grasp on the financials at any given time.
But now ask yourself, is this workload sustainable? Or would you rather have someone who can just give you the top line summaries when you need it? In this way, you can step back from the details and just focus on the big picture. Which is where, as a business owner, you need to be. This will allow you to make better financial decisions for the long-term health of your company.
