Professional bookkeeping services are crucial for monitoring cash flows, daily expenses, managing invoices and of course keeping your financial records true and up-to-date. Despite the many obvious advantages of bookkeeping, there are however some downsides that can impact the efficiency and profitability of your business.
Below will discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of bookkeeping to help you better understand the practice.
- Meeting your Legal Obligation
One key advantage of bookkeeping is that it ensures you’re meeting your legal obligations in maintaining accurate and up-to-date financial reports for your business. This includes recording and tracking revenue and expenditures in order to pay appropriate taxes annually. Failing to do this can land you in hot water against government penalties.
- Creating Accountability and Transparency
Accountability and transparency are another benefit of bookkeeping. Bookkeeping allows you to search up transactions to confirm prices or payments previously made which creates accountability.
Accountability is also created among business partners who have authorisation to access company books to review cash flows. This gives business owners greater internal a control as recent bookkeeping software can alert business owners about any fraudulent activity such as for instance, an employee is channelling company assets elsewhere.
Bookkeeping allows for greater transparency as business owners can access their books to show potential investors who are interested in the business’ financial position.
- Accurate Data
Bookkeeping also allows business owners to make informed decisions about their business as it provides “hard data”. This hard data is all about information about the progress or financial position of the business that is accurate and clear.
Is the business slowing down or running smoothly? Such questions can be answered with bookkeeping which can guide business decisions such as whether it is justifiable to close down a store location or hire more employees.
- Time
Time can actually be a downside to bookkeeping. Even with automated computer software, collecting financial records, tracking errors and so on can take hours. It also is time consuming to add new information, maintain the books and analyse the records which can hinder the pursuit of financial decisions.
- Cost
Cost is also another disadvantage of bookkeeping. For smaller companies, employing an external bookkeeping service can be expensive as can buying the necessary bookkeeping software which need to be updated and replaced once newer versions come out.
