079 - Should I Try to Fix My Books Myself or Hire Help?
Description
Hey, hey, bookkeeping besties! Trying to fix your own bookkeeping is a lot like deciding whether to pull your own weeds or hire a landscaper. Both are totally valid at certain stages of life.
I have some clients who have come to me, and just with a little bit of direction, education, and support have done fantastic DIYing of their own bookkeeping. I teach them to clean it up, then catch it up, and then keep it all straightened out.
Actually, one of my very first clients who I taught how to use QuickBooks has circled back around, and now I'm doing full service bookkeeping for her, and when I got back into her QuickBooks, she had kept it up so well.
I want to give you encouragement that it's doable to keep your own books, but I've also seen people with thousands of transactions left to be categorized, no reconciliations done, and a deadline for their tax preparer. They've been really stressed out and they have much more success hiring someone to do it for them. So in both of those scenarios, you just have to know what season of life you're in. We're gonna break this down even more in this episode. Let's dive in!
