Bookkeeping Myths

"Outsourced bookkeeping & accounting is too expensive"
- Take a moment to add each cost associated with having an in-house accounting department; salary, benefits, payroll taxes, etc. Also, take in to account the resources and time used to acquire and fire personnel. Hiring an independent firm to handle your bookkeeping and accounting needs is a true investment at a fraction of the cost. Through outsourcing, you pay for what you need – nothing more, nothing less.

"Outsourcing firms don't perform as well as in-house"
- Outsourcing firms are solely focused on the task at hand, whereas in-house personnel can easily become distracted by other aspects of the business.

"Outsourcing is a difficult process"
- If you've been keeping decent track of your company's records, it should be relatively easy for you to outsource your accounting functions. Generally, it only takes us two weeks to on board a new client.
