The number one biggest reason I see businesses putting off hiring a bookkeeper?

Hint: it’s not because they aren’t ready to hire one. In fact, they KNOW they need to hire one, and do it sooner rather than later.

But there’s one problem: Their books are a mess. Maybe they’ve been mixing personal expenses with business. Maybe they don’t use a great system. Maybe they simply don’t know what they’re doing.

Whatever the case, many business owners are simply embarrassed to have a bookkeeper get ahold of their books before they have the chance to “fix” them.

But here’s the thing: you’re not going to fix those books. And even if you do, you might “fix” them all wrong. Want to know how to make this transition easier on yourself and your future bookkeeper? I’ve got the answer for you right here.

You shouldn't ever feel pressured into hiring a bookkeeper.

It can be an incredible weight lifted off your shoulders, yes. It can be a huge asset to you and your business, yes. But if you're not actually ready to hire a bookkeeper for whatever reason—whether that be because you don't have the cash flow or the sales or it simply doesn't feel right—you shouldn't go against your instincts and do it anyway.

So if you know you aren't ready yet, what do you do in the meantime?

Ignoring your bookkeeping until you're ready to hire someone to help isn't the answer, but there IS an answer...and I'm going to tell you all about it in Episode 12 of the Simply Booked Podcast! 😱 Listen now on your favorite streaming platform!

I’m not coming to you alone today, friends…

I’ve asked one of my wonderful clients, Catherine Andrews, to come on the podcast and chat! When we had our discovery call together, I just knew Catherine and I were going to work together, and it’s been an amazing partnership ever since.

She’s here today to talk about what bookkeeping offers to business owners, what it’s like being a highly sensitive individual in business (something we both have in common!), and more!

Finances can be a touchy subject even for people with the toughest skins, and I want to do everything in my power to make it simpler and easier.

Listen now to find out how hiring a bookkeeper can help!

I took a big, big leap in my business recently, guys...

I OUTSOURCED FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!

Now, I know what you're probably thinking: "What do you mean, you outsourced your podcast? Why do you need to do that? Don't you just hit record and then upload the file?"

The answer? I WISH it was that easy...and now that I've outsourced it, it actually sort of is! If you're on the fence about outsourcing, I don't blame you; it's a scary thing to do for the first time. But I'm here today to tell you all the reasons you need to trust your instincts, take a breath, and take the leap!

My first employee was not actually a human; it was a software platform. This software platform does SO MUCH, you guys! So much that once I realized that I have been able to justify NOT hiring a human for the first 10 months of my business thanks to this do-it-all software.
