Small and medium businesses have limited resources. Often the owners have to do a million things at once. Besides running day-to-day business operations, they even have to do their own bookkeeping. What’s the harm in it? Put simply, it steals your focus from things that need your utmost attention.

Managing books isn’t the most complicated task, however, it consumes lots of time that you could have spent on accelerating growth and taking your business to the next level. You don’t want your time divided among things others can do better than you and distracted from ones nobody can do but you.

The Benefits of Outsourcing Your Books

1. Extra Time

You can free up the hours you invest in tracking transactions and balancing books to focus more on business growth and productivity. Outsourcing bookkeeping frees up time and energy and can help you attain the work-life balance you long desire.

2. Minimize Costs

Virtual bookkeepers do everything an in-house resource does at a lesser cost. Outsourcing bookkeeping implies you only have to pay for services you need and when you need them, which means it is more cost-effective.

3. More Flexibility

Virtual means flexible, and flexibility goes a long way in ensuring your business gets work done efficiently. Business sales go up and down with seasons, and it is pivotal to ensure you have adequate resources during busy months and save some at down times. Outsourced bookkeeping allows you to do just that.

4. Easy Transition

Bookkeeping is required on a day-to-day basis. You can’t afford to fall weeks behind searching for the right bookkeeper. Outsourcing helps you evade the hassle and seamlessly adopt the service you need when you need it.

In-House VS Outsourced Bookkeeping Annual Costs

With all the benefits and compensations added, an in-house bookkeeper in 2022 costs on average $50K/year. Once you add other overhead expenses to the mix, the number goes further up.

In contrast, an outsourced bookkeeper, on average, costs anything between $30-35K/year. This number comes after factoring that the virtual resource does your business bookkeeping for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and 12 months a year. No holidays or sick days!

That makes outsourced bookkeeping 100% cost-efficient. Every buck you pay is paid for the service, not for holidays, benefits, etc. You don’t have to cover your bookkeeper’s expenses if they call in sick.

How Does Outsourced Bookkeeping Work?

Outsourced or virtual bookkeepers do the same chores an in-house resource does; they attend to your financial matters, keep your books balanced, manage your cash flow, and provide you with the financial clarity you need to make informed decisions.

Often, virtual bookkeepers work as an extension of your in-house team, helping them manage the workload efficiently. Many small and medium businesses opt to outsource because it saves money, provides more flexibility, and is equally efficient.

Outsourcing bookkeeping implies delegating the complete financial work of your business to virtual experts who work dedicatedly with you 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and 12 months a year. In addition, you even get to save extra on benefits, insurance, training, and equipment costs.
