Episode 0011: FAQ Contractors Bookkeeping Services
You Have Three Choices Regarding Your Contractors Bookkeeping And Accounting Service
#1 - Do it all yourself
#2 - Hire A Bookkeeper
#3 - Outsource It
Number One makes sense if you have 10,000+ hours of training and practice required to master Construction Accounting.
Number Two would make sense if it was not so risky and cost so much. I invite you download a Bookkeeper Hiring Guide which has some of the same checklists we use when hiring a new construction bookkeeper. And it would really help if you knew about some of Traits of Bad Bookkeepers.
Number Three can be the least expensive and most financially rewarding or the most expensive of the three options. I invite you download a Contractors Bookkeeping Service Hiring Guide. The key is to make sure you are getting a firm that has a team of people who understand construction bookkeeping and accounting servicing your account, not just one lonely bookkeeper lost and confused 10% of the time and winging it the other 90% of the time. Finally, if your contracting company is the USA for goodness sakes make sure all of your contractors accounting and bookkeeping stays in the USA and preferably in a commercial office and not somebody’s house or garden shed.
