While focusing on marketing your brand, looking for leads, generating sales, attending meetings, and basically performing all the endless tasks to bring in new business, the recording of all those daily monetary transactions can easily become overwhelming.

Out of date or poorly prepared records can hinder the growth of your business, and adversely affect its financial health.

But how you may ask?

Cash Flow

by keeping on top and ahead of who owes you money, who you owe, and identifying expenses that are bringing down your bottom line, so that important cash management decisions be made. To do this you would need to know exactly what comes in and what goes out of your business, when and for what.

Budgets and Forecasts

by recording all financial transactions in accordance with proper financial standards, you not only gain insight on the financial health of your business, you are able to identify trends which will aid you in planning ahead.

SARS and taxation

by submitting an accurate representation of your business' financial status for the purposes of determining the correct rate of tax.

There are a number of reasons why a small business owner should seek to outsource their core bookkeeping and accounting functions to a qualified bookkeeper.

Here are a few to put context to the importance of such a task.

• While you may feel you do not need, or want a bookkeeper, your only other alternative is to become one yourself so that you fully understand the financial performance of your business.


• Your business requires a significant amount of your attention to grow your idea into a viable product or service. As the founder, your time should be devoted to strategy, marketing, funding and other key areas that require your focus.


• Not many business owners have backgrounds in finance or even a working knowledge of accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliations and taxes.


• While you very well could handle everything in your business, the problem is you’ll have no time left at the end of the day for yourself or your loved ones. You’ll be missing that balance every person needs in order to stay healthy and not burn yourself out.


• Although you may believe you have a good idea about the state of your business, a qualified bookkeeper will give insight and guidance in terms of where your funds are going and how your efforts are paying off.


• It’s hard to imagine that the financial aspects of your business make you excited. You likely have no passionate feelings about entering bills and reconciling bank accounts. A bookkeeper most certainly enjoys those tasks, so it makes sense to hand this over to someone who thrives in that area.


• The last thing any business owner wants is to get audited or have SARS after you just because you forgot your provisional or annual tax filings, filed them incorrectly, or overstate/understate your net profit.


• Although you may think you are saving money by doing everything yourself, the fact is that a professional bookkeeper actually saves you more. That’s because there is a reduced level of risk for human error, lack of knowledge, missed payments, tax obligation due dates and delayed accounts receivable.


• Time is money. Time that you could be using toward sourcing new business and bringing in revenue.
