Some businesses are afraid of outsourcing professional accounting & bookkeeping services because of some misconceptions. It is important for business owners to understand the role and importance of bookkeeping and accounting services and why it is necessary to hire a bookkeeper. In this article, we are going to talk about common misconceptions about bookkeepers and help you understand them well.
Bookkeepers are scary
This is one of the biggest misconceptions in the industry. Most people are scared of bookkeepers. Perhaps it is because they are embarrassed about telling the bookkeeper about the state of their finances and they fear being judged by the bookkeeper. What business owners should know is that irrespective of their financial position, a bookkeeper is a valuable professional who will keep your information confidential.
Bookkeepers are redundant
With all the introduction of software and social media Cheap Air Max TN , companies are running countless adverts to business owners and informing them about how easy it is to do their accounts. What they fail to realize is the need to have a bookkeeper. They only realize the importance of bookkeepers after they have started using the service.
Bookkeepers are genius mathematicians
It is crucial for bookkeepers to have some numerical literacy to perform their duties properly. However, a lot of bookkeepers are not genius mathematicians as many people think. This myth has prevented a lot of people from joining the profession because they think that you must be a genius mathematician to become a bookkeeper. Most people offering accounting & bookkeeping services in Irvine California are not mathematics geniuses because it is not a must to be good in math and have a finance degree to offer quality bookkeeping services. Being good in data and spreadsheets doesn’t mean that you are also good in mathematics. Most bookkeepers can do mathematics but only when they use a calculator or write things down. You don’t have to be very fast with doing mental arithmetic.
Data-entry is the only thing that bookkeepers do
Most people believe that bookkeepers are just low-level data clerks. Most people don’t understand how much skill, work and precision is involved in bookkeeping. In fact Cheap Air Max 720 , bookkeepers spend a lot of time solving complex problems and fixing mistakes performed by other people. This is why most bookkeepers charge an hourly rate.
Accountants are better than bookkeepers
Most people like to compare accountants to bookkeepers. While it is true that accounting is built from the work of a bookkeeper, the myth that accountants are better than bookkeepers can harm the reputation and the confidence of bookkeepers. Bookkeeping is crucial and it ensures that there is completeness and accuracy of financial records before the information is used by accountants. Accountants audit, analyze and address the information to get the bigger picture.
Bookkeepers are useful to large companies alone
Accounting & bookkeeping services are necessary for any type of business; whether big or small businesses. Whether it is a small business or a large business Cheap Air Max 95 , as long as money is involved, every business needs a bookkeeper to run smoothly.
Two weekends ago I had the great pleasure to be visited by a new friend, Ricardo Flores. Ricardo and I first connected last November when he participated in the 17th LIVING THE FULFILLED LIFE FOUNDATIONAL PROGRAM. Since then we've been exploring how Ricardo could bring the Life On Purpose Process to the Spanish speaking portion of the world since he was born in El Salvador and speaks fluent Spanish as well as English.
I had a full and invigorating weekend with Ricardo Cheap Air Max 97 , who now lives in San Antonio. We went to Simpsonville to a Catholic church on Saturday night to hear Tony Melendez, a very talented singer that Ricardo had heard about and discovered was going to be in this area over the weekend.
Tony was born without arms -- a result of his mother receiving thalidomide while she was carrying Tony. He taught himself to play the guitar with his feet as well as doing everything else with his feet that most of us do with our arms and hands without a moment's thought. He was called to sing to the world and in 1986 had the opportunity to sing to Pope John, who at the end of the music Cheap Air Max 270 , walked over to Tony, embraced him and encouraged him to take his gifts to the world which Tony has been doing ever since. ( )
Listening and watching him helped put life in perspective. I was reminded of the quote that goes something like - I felt bad that I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet. Any excuses I've been giving myself about furthering my own purpose and mission seem to evaporate.
Meeting Tony was a great inspiration to both Ricardo and me. Bringing a transformational program like the Life On Purpose Project to a new segment of the world suddenly doesn't look so hard.
