Question: How has outsourcing bookkeeping services positively impacted your company?
Helped With Growth
"When we began to outsource this, it helped organize our accounting systems and, in turn, helped us focus on growth areas. Absolutely worth it."
@DarrahB
Increased Confidence
"Having an external bookkeeper has transformed the way we feel about our finances in all the best ways. Working with someone experienced you can depend on, trust and turn to can be really impactful -- not just on the business, but on your anxiety and confidence."

Allowed Focus on Core Strengths
"If you're not an accounting advisory firm, outsourcing your accounting is a great idea to consider. We use an incredibly bright controller who handles the day-to-day accounting, allowing our small team to stay purely focused on our DNA: design and development."

Helped Us Find the Right Person
"I have a horror story about this. I hired someone who was working for four different companies and not doing anything. I really don't understand bookkeeping so that could have been the problem, but it's not a mistake we'll have happen again. Now I've hired a local bookkeeper to come into our office one day a week and manage everything. I hired them off Craigslist, and it's worked perfectly!"

Found a Great Partner
"I received a B- in accounting while getting my MBA. It is not my strong suit, and I would much rather focus on what I'm good at to continue to grow. The challenge I was having with previous bookkeepers that I found online was a lack of redundancy and timeliness. We finally found a great option. It is a company that mixes great tech with great back-end bookkeepers. Love them."

Helped Set Up for Success
"We had an external CPA provide bookkeeping services with our business, and that helped us immensely in getting set up properly at the start so we could focus on growing our company. Not only does having an outsourced CPA take a large portion of the work off our plates, but someone who has worked with growth startups can help structure the accounting for success too."

Saved Us Time
"We were not nearly as efficient at doing our bookkeeping as outsources that do nothing but bookkeeping can be. We now have extra time to focus on core aspects of our business."
@joshaweiss
Created Greater Predictability
"Outsourcing our bookkeeping made it easier to maintain accurate, timely financial records. We're able to use that data to make reliable assessments and predictions about the company's health. This lowers my stress and helps me focus on driving sustainable growth."
@MESlayter
Saved Resources
"Outsource the task to somebody who already has a process in place. You'll likely spend less money and save yourself time that can be focused on what you're doing best."
