Why Bookkeeping is Important

Many consider tax saving strategies as the main reason to do bookkeeping but there are actually more benefits to consider. Great bookkeeping can help with decision making, prepare you for audits, help with taxes and more. A business owner who intends to succeed and grow over time can therefore gain much by having a great bookkeeping system in place. Our bookkeeping process at Motl Accounting provides our clients with financial statements, performance graphs, comparatives and payroll reports at the click of a button for their convenience. We also prepare their income taxes on a timely basis to eliminate most tax season worries, so they are always up to date with all the various taxing agencies. They benefit greatly from this and here are a few reasons why:

Audit Protection 

Having a great bookkeeping system or bookkeeper in place can help you when you get flagged for audits by agencies like the IRS. We have helped several clients with audits who in turn have had great outcomes from the process due to our involvement. They end up accepting how rigid of a process it would have been for them to handle alone without our expertise. As your business grows, it’s beneficial to keep good bookkeeping records you can hand over to a bookkeeper or accountant when you realize how big of a task it is becoming. 

Less Stress

We pride ourselves in providing “peace of mind accounting practices”. We understand how stressful it can be when your books are disorganized, there’s a constant nudge to get to it as you know the importance of it being done. The lack of time to get it done on your part typically reflects how busy you are as a business owner and with that might come the inclination to get a professional bookkeeper. Knowing your bookkeeping is handled professionally and constantly lets you have the peace of mind and more time  to run your business. 

Decision Making

Expense tracking, budgeting and good record keeping is helpful for sound decision making. Having a process that keeps you informed on your most important financial information like profits and loss by service or product, sales by client/customer and more can be very helpful in knowing the next logical steps to make for your business. Technology now provides access to reports instantly through web portals and apps so you can make decisions on the fly. There are many insights a business owner can get by understanding their books and even more by having a great bookkeeper that can help keep their books organized while they focus on their passion of running their business.
