WHY ARE THESE BUSINESSES FAILING?
That same study showed that 29% of small businesses failed because they ran out of cash and 23% failed because they did not have the right team. 18% of small business failed because of pricing and cost issue and 17% failed because they lacked a business model.
These four ways equates to 87% of why businesses fail. Running out of cash, not having the right team, pricing and cost issues, and a lack of business model can all relate to not having the right accountant/bookkeeper or not having one at all.
If that was not convincing enough, here are 15 reasons as to why your small business NEEDS a bookkeeper.

Keeping your financial records organized makes it easier to locate and provide to appropriate parties.

7. REPORTING TO INVESTORS
If you have investors in your business they need to know the financial performance to see the value of their investment in you. Providing investors up to date financial statements allows them to make well informed and better decisions in the money they invest and where. Additionally, keeping your investors happy is key, providing them this information not only keeps them happy but maybe opens the door for them to invest more or bring in other investors to continue your dream of growing your business.
8. TRACK PROFIT AND GROWTH
Bookkeeping shows your business’ profitability. The income statement is one of the documents that is included in the financial statements you receive from your bookkeeper. This allows you to track whether your company is in fact making money and how that compares to years passed. With these months and years of income data you will be able to see trends and gain a greater understanding of your business cycles.
9. BETTER CASH FLOW
One of the many things your bookkeeper will do is categorize your spending. Labeling them revenues, expenses, liabilities, receivables and more. All in all showing you the money that is coming in and money going out. Allowing you to see if there are any outstanding balancing and in which period they occurred. Which can help improve your business processes and executing work.
10. IRS AUDIT
Last but not least, the law requires you to keep financial records for your business and to keep them separate from your personal records. If the government receives a red flag on a tax return you filed they could require tour business to be audited. If you do not have up to date financial record it makes that process much longer and more difficult. If you are keeping your records up to date and accurate it may even prevent the IRS from requiring an audit from your business.
