Frankston Bookkeeping: How To Save Time and Money

You’re reading this because you’ve realised that there may well be benefits in using a professional bookkeeping service for your Frankston business.

We come across many owners and operators of small businesses from Frankston to Narre Warren that believe they’ve saved themselves time and money by getting a friend or relative to “do the bookkeeping”.

Would you send out an inexperienced salesperson to do an important high-paying deal with your BEST customer? Chances are, you’d want to send someone who’s experienced and can best represent your business, for fear of losing such an important contract.

Yet many small business owners in South East Melbourne take the attitude that the bookkeeping is just something that has to be done to keep the ATO happy at the end of the quarter or end of year.

Bookkeeping is an intrinsic part of your business.
Without a good bookkeeping system in place you have no idea how your Frankston business is performing.

“My acountant tells me all that!” we hear you say. That may well be the case – but often you get to see your accountant with figures not from the current financial year, but the previous financial year.

Your accountant will only be going on the information that’s supplied – unless you want to pay your accountant to do the bookkeeping that your wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, mother or mother-in-law has already done!

Are You Paying Your Accountant To Do Bookkeeping?
Either way, if you want a set of books that is accurate and upto date, don’t you think that you should have the best person for the job? After all you’re probably working your backside off, losing sleep, having no holidays, and putting everything you can to run a successful business – and then you go and blow it because you think you are saving a few dollars on bookkeeping fees.

That’s like buying a big flash car and then running it on cheap unleaded petrol – it may get the job done short term, but it could cost you big time in the end.

We had a leaking waste pipe under the sink recently. Simple five minute job, go down to the loacl hardware store pick up a new part, then try and put it all back together. Five hours later, still hadn’t got the job done. In the end we decided to call a plumber, one of our clients. He called in at the end of the day on his way home.

“Oh, this is a simple job”, he says. Goes back to his truck, gets a couple of bits and pieces, and in two minutes the job was done. How much did that job cost us? Five hours of our time, plus the trip to the hardware store, and the stress and grief. Yet the whole job, done properly by the plumber, cost a few dollars.
