I haven’t managed my own books  before; I’ve always relied on a CPA for that. They’ve made the process pretty smooth for me.

James Anderson · Answer

I do, but I’m thinking of hiring help.

Lonny Shatzel · Answer

I let a CPA handle my accounting, and it’s been a big relief. They’re much better at it than I could be!

Matt El Mouktafi · Answer

I tried to manage everything myself for my first company, definitely was a mistake 😅

It takes so much time and can create so much issues if you’re not good at it, now i’m paying an accountant and it’s amazing. I barely think about this anymore

Answer

Bookkeeping is such a pain, I feel you! I tried to do my own books at first too but it was a huge time suck. Switched to an online bookkeeping service (Bench Accounting) and it's been a game changer. They handle everything and free up so much of my time to focus on the biz. A bit pricey but totally worth it IMO if you can swing it. Def recommend outsourcing the books if you can!
