Why do I need bookkeeping? Why should I outsource bookkeeping?

Well there are several answers to this question, but let me give you a few:

• Probably the most important reason, if you run a business in Canada or the USA, it is a legal requirement. By law, the government requires you to keep certain business records and penalties may apply if you do not comply.
• If you maintain good bookkeeping records, it will be easier and faster to complete your business activity statements and other tax obligations when they are due.
• Good bookkeeping records provide information to allow you to monitor the performance of your business on an ongoing basis and make informed financial decisions.
• It makes it easier to maintain your creditors and debtors when your bookkeeping records are up to date, so this ensures you aren’t paying a supplier twice or that your customers are paying on time. This all helps with the health of your business.
• It can actually SAVE YOU MONEY, by having bookkeeping systems in place, you can find your financial information much quicker and this will save you time and ultimately, money.
• Garbage in, garbage out. Quality and accurate information in, quality and accurate information out!
