What is stopping you from outsourcing to a Bookkeeper?

This question keeps coming up all the time in every social media group, forum and I think the big reason why businesses are stopping from outsourcing to a Bookkeeper is ‘fear’

Like anything that is new, because we feel safe doing things ourselves and yes when it comes to finance and paperwork related to a business, there is that element, will this Bookkeeper know what to do? They can se all my finances and what my business makes and what our profits are. I don’t like others knowing personal details about my business. Will they judge how I have been doing my own books? Will they laugh at me when I provide them receipts in a shoe box?

The answer is NO.

I’ve been a Bookkeeper for over 20 plus years. Confidentiality is the most important part of my job. I have never laughed or joked about a client’s business. I applaud when a client comes to me, because it’s at that time where they are throwing their hands in the air saying ‘could you just do all this’ I’m at my wits end and I don’t have a clue what I’m doing.

Now it’s brave to ask for help.

I understand that fear and bravery both come to mind when a client takes that initial step to outsource their bookkeeping to me.

It’s no different if I was outsourcing and sending my car to a mechanic. I don’t have any idea what goes on under that engine. Do I feel fear, anxiety when I take my car to the mechanic, NO…because my mechanic does this work every day, I trust him to look after my vehicle and get it working to its maximum potential?

That’s how you should feel when you outsource, confident, happy, not fearful or nervous.
