If you have answered “Yes” to some of the above, then you may want to consider employing a bookkeeper.
Do I need a bookkeeper or an accountant?
Small businesses often ask, “Do I need a bookkeeper or an accountant”. The answer is normally “both”.
Bookkeepers and accountants do different things and have very different roles to play in assisting business owners to manage their finances properly.
Bookkeepers charge far less for their time. It therefore makes sense for them to do as much of your work as they can – bookkeepers record the financial transactions of a business and present them in a neat and correct format, whether in a book, on a spreadsheet or other software and will normally complete your VAT return. They will spend more time with your business and really get to know how it runs and what you want them to get out of the figures.
Getting it right from the offset will mean that you have regular information about your business that you understand from your bookkeeper and reduced annual fees from your accountant.
