What's worth being afraid of

The scary part of bookkeeping isn’t what you see. It’s how long you’ve gone without seeing it. 

When you don’t know what’s coming in or going out, you start to fill in the blanks with guesses. You might think you know how your business is doing, but it’s easy to get caught up in the day to day and miss the signs until it’s too late. 

And if the idea of committing makes you hesitate, having a good bookkeeper almost always pays for itself. The cleanups, IRS notices, late penalties, and trying to sort through everything on your own when you have other things to do? Those are what can really set you back. 

Knowing your numbers won't remove every unknown, but it will give you perspective and confidence to face what's ahead.
