Can Anyone Be A Bookkeeper?

By Sue Whyte


Isn?t bookkeeping just plugging one or two figures into a P. C. 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 computer programme which then miraculously spits out an ideal set of accounts.

Hmm, if only!!

Bookkeeping, or in a sense good bookkeeping, is more concerned than merely pumping numbers into a program and it's a misguided a real long shot concept that bookkeepers are just glorified data entry operators! Good bookkeepers will be a handy asset to your business. Good bookkeepers understand how to enter figures into a PC programme properly, or write up a ledger, but more importantly, they know precisely 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. Unfortunately for many entrepreneurs it isn?t until a they are in a state of despair because they haven't any notion of what is happening in their business.

Sound all to familiar??

Personally, it gives me and my team a superb sensation of satisfaction to be well placed to take a complete data entry mess and change it into a neat, tidy and correct set of accounts. Nonetheless with any service which adds some value it has a monetary investment, and in my opinion, it's an investment worth making and unfortunately (hindsight being 20/20) one that would have been better spent in contracting a bookkeeper from the word go and not having a messy situation in the first instance. It?s no coincidence that once a business has engaged a pro bookkeeper and has simple to read profit & loss statements as well as a clear understanding of how their money is being utilized , that these entrepreneurs become firm converts to employing a bookkeeper.

Think of a bookkeeper as you would an accountant. A bookkeeper will aid you with your business and will make your accountant?s job a lot easier.

You wouldn?t get your office helper to do your taxation assessment 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.
