So You Think You Need a Bookkeeper (Spoiler: You Do)

Alright, let’s cut to the chase. If you’re here, you’re probably thinking, “Maybe I should get a bookkeeper…” And my friend, the answer is yes.

If you’ve ever lost a receipt in your truck, argued with Excel, or wondered why your bank account and your brain never match - it’s time.

Here’s the thing: hiring a bookkeeper (hi, that’s me 👋) doesn’t have to be scary or complicated. Think of it like hiring someone to clean your gutters. You could do it yourself, but do you really want to? Exactly.

So, how do you get started?

Admit You’re Tired of Drowning in Paperwork.

This is the hardest step. Once you’ve said, “Yep, this sucks and I want help,” you’re halfway there.

Gather Your Stuff.

Bank statements, receipts, invoices, payroll notes scribbled on a napkin … I’ve seen it all. Don’t overthink it. Just get it in a pile, folder, or (if you’re fancy) a shared drive.

Let Me Do the Nerdy Part.

I’ll take all that chaos and put it into order. Numbers will line up, reports will make sense, and you’ll finally know what’s really going on with your money. It’s like magic, but with spreadsheets.

Keep Talking to Me.

Bookkeeping isn’t “set it and forget it.” I need to know if you bought a new truck, hired a helper, or decided to take payment in goats (please don’t). Communication is key, and I promise not to talk in accountant-robot language.

At the end of the day, getting started with a bookkeeper (aka me) is really just about handing over the stress so you can focus on the stuff you actually like doing.

My 2 Cents

Bookkeeping isn’t about making you feel bad for the shoebox full of crumpled receipts in your truck. It’s about making your life easier. You don’t have to know every rule or remember every deadline —> that’s my job.

Think of me like the guy who shows up with the right ladder and the right tools to get the gutters cleaned out. You don’t need to climb up there, risk your neck, or spend your weekend swearing at leaves. Same with the books: let me climb that ladder, and you get back to running your business (or finally taking a Saturday off).

Bottom line: you keep building, fixing, welding, or hustling. I’ll keep your numbers straight. Sound good? Cool. Let’s get to work.
