Why Bookkeeping Companies Fail

An Essay by Matthew Beck As a small business owner I depend on current financial information in order to manage spending and build our company.Time and money have to be managed carefully in order to prevent overspending on labor and materials. I recently met a small business owner who shared his experience with a bookkeeping company. He engaged them and… Almost immediately the following events happened: The reports were inaccurate Attention to detail was lacking Overcharging for questionable work began almost in week 1 Deletions and merging of sensitive name fields caused distress Promises to do better were given to explain obvious errors and omissions The changes he wanted from his failing bookkeeping service: The bookkeeping company had to provide staff who were qualified to aid him The bookkeeping company had to implement a no excuses mentality- Quality only The bookkeeping company had to follow instructions and directives as given The bookkeeping company had to be accurate and detail oriented Quality When did quality become an abstract concept ? Why is it so hard to find persons who care about your brand ? My answer is this. The average bookkeeper has not seen all of the countless hours it takes to put together a company. They have not seen the hours of worry and stress that an entrepreneur faces in order to succeed. Your typical bookkeeper sees his pay check and not the golden goose feeding him. It is critical that your average bookkeeping company puts your best interests at heart and provides a superior quality product. This needs to be done to protect your reputation and ensure your brand has longevity. Summary Don’t settle for mediocre bookkeeping. Never engage a bookkeeping company that is cold with paycheck driven employees. Seek out a service that has an owner you are comfortable with. Share your concerns and insist on quality.
