As an
entrepreneur who is "sales orientated" you stand a much better chance
of surviving after start up by focussing on selling with minimum time spent on
admin and doing your books.....
"The
thing is", if you DO have a hand in doing your books you will grow your
business faster and be even more successful.
This is a proven fact that you cannot escape, so consider it and make a
disciplined decision and commitment.
You may
say to me "but it’s SO NOT MY SKILL and its BORING so it keeps being moved
to the bottom of my list of priorities and I have bookkeeper who does them once
a year. I can't see how doing my books can help me grow faster or be more successful.
All that
is going to make you change your mind is to actually start doing your books
yourself regularly, at least once a month just after month end.
Not only
will this this empower you to grow your business faster, it most likely will
save you a fortune in annual bookkeeping fees because the preparation for your
bookkeeper will be much more effective and reduce your costs.
We have
been trading successfully for 20 years as a business consultant and developer
of systems in MS Excel for small business. Not one of our sales orientated
clients who we have successfully convinced to try has told me I was wrong. The
success of our own consulting business is solely accredited to this fact. The majority of the small business sales
orientated clients now look forward to month end to be able to do their books
again and see what happened with regards to income and expenses and feel so
much more empowered and confident as the business owner to make decisions and
manage their business.
When it
is easy and logical for the sales entrepreneur to capture the transactions,
like it is in the Excel products that figg has developed, and see the results
on automated updated reports with every transaction captured is empowering and
informative for the improved management of your business, this is proven. A commitment and discipline to do this can
only lead to faster growth and greater profitability.
The figg

I always advise my friends who are in business to prioritize the initial recording of their financial data regularly, as they spend days managing sales and profit. Not only will they learn how to do bookkeeping on their own; they will also be able to assist the bookkeeper in the recording, thus saving time.

Bookkeeping is an integral part of running a business. Having sound bookkeeping enables easier compliance with the Tax Law and other reporting requirements. Also, your business will have more value in the future, especially if you plan to sell the business at retirement. Potential buyers will certainly ask for your bookkeeping records.

Aside from being able to cut expenses for annual bookkeeping, you will also have a well organized quick reference for every transaction you had to compare rates of purchases and income every month. Without scrambling on that part, you get to dedicate more time in other concerns regarding your business.
