Why Bookkeepers Rock! With sponsor Bento for Business!
.
Thanks to automation, the role of a bookkeeper has drastically changed and widened.
.
Appy Hour with Liz and Heather Bento for Business! Heck yeah! I’m a Bookkeeper!
.
Not only does the title bookkeeper mean something different now, but it is also a title to take pride in and feel accomplished for. Accounting and bookkeeping firms now have time to offer extra services and are in the best position to recommend small business apps!
.
Over the last few years, there have been so many new inventive names for bookkeepers, and I have a hard time keeping up! How about instead we appreciate what they do and acknowledge their roles have changed?
.
In a world so full of automation, it is essential to slow down and appreciate the bookkeepers, who spend hundreds of hours ensuring the business receives quality support! We have all been there! Stayed up late, rushing to meet a deadline. And yes, there are times for automation, but when it comes to guidance, advice, and old fashion, help people do it best! You are not replaceable!
Bookkeepers provide more than transactional data!
.
Bookkeepers fulfill several critical tasks.
.
- Recording & validating company financial transactions – correcting any issues or transactions
- Accounts Receivable – creating estimates, invoices, collecting payments, & recording payments as well as collections
- Accounts Payable – entering bills, paying bills, and recording expenses
.
There are a lot of Moving Parts to Keep Track of!
.
Businesses are not tidy. They are messy monsters with good days and bad. On bad days bookkeepers are the ones who answer any office related questions. It’s a messy job! Maybe Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs should follow one around for a day, that would make his head spin.
.
Choosing what to Automate
.
Bookkeepers often are the gatekeepers when it comes to recommending new workflows and including apps. They are the ones with their hands on the process and can often see when a 3rd party app could improve the workflow. This is why we invited Bento for Business to join us to help small businesses and bookkeepers with tracking expenses and safeguarding against fraud.
