Goodwill Bookkeeping Services Ltd

“A lot of small business owners ask themselves “Do I really need an accountant or a bookkeeper? Initially, the answer is “NO” - I can do”
When you start a business your main focus is to get your everything off the ground. Balancing business takes up more and more time. Little by little success and growth come your way and then you realise that it's inevitable, you have to catch up on your financials.
Many business owners come my way to do a quick cleanup before the end of the financial year. The priority becomes reconciled books ready to file a return instead of full visibility. A accountant/bookkeeper is more than just hire to perform services that you dread doing yourself. Bookkeepers specialize in different areas and industries. They are there to help you strategies your books, clarify your cash flow, set up daily and monthly processes and give clarity on Income versus Expenditure (Profitability). Above all bookkeepers free the business owners times so that they can concentrate on marketing their business and keeping ahead of all necessary compliance and have some life balance.
Although you can attempt and succeed in doing it yourself, we are experts in our field just as you are in yours, where the art of delegation comes in place.

WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO DELEGATE FINANCIAL TASK?
As a business owner, you know that you're an expert in doing your job and have very high-ranking skills but not necessarily involved in financial management. Focusing your time on your tasks will generate more revenue.
A professional accountant or bookkeeper knows the industry well and is required to stay up to date with the latest practices and processes. They also know how to leverage the software to make the best use of it, getting the job done in a fraction of the time of someone less experienced.

WHICH TASKS SHOULD YOU DELEGATE?
Depending on your experience, resources, size and scope of your business.
Point to be noted is - a bookkeeper is likely to be able to smash out the jobs that take you hours to do. Your time is better spent with what you are good at.

Being my own boss - Work-Life Balance. “I love that I have a great degree of control and freedom within my job and would like the same for my clients

I am very passionate about my job and the love for helping small to medium business owners reach their optimum growth and success. Have worked in New Zealand's most prominent industries for the last 25 years. My business exposure lead her to the realization that my bookkeeping knowledge could be used to help more than just one employer but, instead help many small businesses succeed.

Small business owners in all industries want more time to live the life they have worked so hard to build. That can mean more time to be creative in their business, more time to build operations, or more time to spend with family. Although we cannot control how much time we have, we can control how we use it. The key is to use cloud based technology in your favor.

Many small business owners find themselves spending so much of their valued time tracking their finances with no real clarity in sight. It can almost feel like running a marathon with no definition of where the finish line is, meaning that…



✅You spend your time trying to run an operational business while also running behind your finances to make sure it was all recorded.

✅Making decisions based on an estimate of what you have in the bank and not what you have available to spend according to your books.

✅Feeling uninformed about the real costs your business incurs on a monthly basis.

✅Not being able to budget or forecast because you haven’t caught up with entering financial data into your software.

✅Having to access three or more different software packages to reconcile transactions.



With everything else already on your mind, this just adds more stress and pressure. Not at all what you pictured when you thought about being your own boss.

How do I know this? Before I started my business I worked with organizations that had little to no accounting software in place. This was a hindrance not just to the owner but to those around them also trying to do the best job they could. I was able to help in implementing or improving accounting systems that allowed for clarity of numbers and ease of access to company files. Now, I am committed to helping those small businesses be the best they can be by using technology in their favor to save them time better spent elsewhere.

Your next question might be, how can I do the same?

I can help in assessing the current systems in place and strategise bookkeeping systems to streamline, facilitate, and automate financial data. This will empower small business owners to make confident decisions for their business and their lives.
