Can Any person Be A Bookkeeper?

By Sue Whyte


Isn?t book-keeping just plugging 1 or 2 figures into a PC program?

In a word, NO!

It never fails to astonish me what number of people out there and in business think that all bookkeepers do is enter figures into a P. C. programme which then miraculously spits out an ideal set of accounts.

Hmm, if only!!

Book-keeping, or in a sense good bookkeeping, is more involved than just pumping numbers into a program and it is an ill-judged a real long shot notion that bookkeepers are just glorified information entry operators! Good bookkeepers will be a useful asset to your business. Good bookkeepers understand how to enter figures into a PC programme correctly, or write up a ledger, but as significantly, they know exactly where and how those figures should be entered.

Trying to unravel a mess that a non-bookkeeper has made is a long thing! It?s something that we at Bookkeeper?s Base do all the time. Sadly for many entrepreneurs it isn?t till a they're in a state of desperateness because they have no idea of what is going on in their business.

Seem all too familiar??

Personally, it gives me and my team a wonderful sensation of satisfaction to be in a position to take a total information entry mess and make it into a neat, tidy and accurate set of accounts. Nevertheless with any service which adds significant value it has a financial investment, and in my viewpoint, it's an investment worth making and unfortunately (hindsight being 20/20) one that would've been better used in contracting a bookkeeper from the word go and not having a untidy situation in the first instance. It?s no coincidence that once a business has engaged a pro bookkeeper and has straightforward to read profit & loss statements as well as a clear understanding of how their money is being utilised , that these business owners become firm changes to using a bookkeeper.

Think about a bookkeeper as you would an accountant. A bookkeeper will assist you with your business and will make your accountant?s job much easier.

You wouldn?t get your office helper to do your tax estimate for you, so why would you let them run blindfolded with the money info that goes into it?

Contact a real Perth bookkeeper and get your book-keeping done professionally.
