Great bookkeeping applies systematic routines and accounting principles to ensure the financial data of the business is valid. Keeping the books in great shape monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually takes time and money, and sometimes it is worth it and sometimes it is not worth it until the fiscal year-end. How do you know how often you should have the bookkeeping done?  

As an entrepreneur, it can be challenging to juggle all areas of the business. When so much of your time is taken up with operations, marketing, and customer service, it is the accounting that tends to suffer. Procrastination on your accounting requirements will have a detrimental effect on the success of your business. To avoid this scenario, hire a great bookkeeper who will save you time, improve cashflow, avoid expensive pitfalls and provide peace of mind.

While some of them have been able to pivot sales streams to online successfully, others suffered from the lack of human capital.
