Tip to Tackle Your Bookkeeping Blues

Feeling the Bookkeeping Blues? Here’s How Your Accountant Can Help!

Running a small business is your passion, but it also comes with challenges. One big one? Keeping your finances organized. Your juggle a million things, and feeling the bookkeeping blues can easily become a source of stress.

But what if your accountant wasn’t just a number cruncher, but a partner in your success? They can help you ditch the stress and unlock the power of your finances to grow your business.

Here’s how your accountant goes way beyond basic bookkeeping:

1. Tech Time-Savers: The world runs on tech, and accounting is no exception. Your accountant can show you how to use awesome tools like automated accounting software and accounts payable automation to save you tons of time and effort.

2. Money Flow Matters: Getting paid on time and paying your bills on time keeps your business healthy. Your accountant helps you streamline accounts receivable and payable management, so your cash flow stays strong.

3. Making the Most of QuickBooks: QuickBooks is a popular accounting software, but getting the most out of it can be tricky. Your accountant, especially with local expertise (like Colorado QuickBooks consulting!), can show you how to use it to keep your finances organized, accurate, and accessible.

Just like Carly, a client who raved about Perlinger Consulting on his QuickBooks ProAdvisor site!

“Glenn to the rescue! I knew just enough Quickbooks to be dangerous. Meaning, I was messing everything up. I found Glenn online. And, he has been incredible. He helped me set up new systems. I now understand everything from the basics to the complex. Glenn is available when I have questions. We meet every few weeks for a tutoring session where I bring in lists of questions. Thank goodness, he always has the answers. Like I said, Glenn to the rescue.” No more bookkeeping blues for Carly!

4. Learn and Earn: Maybe you want to handle your own finances (and good for you!). Glenn offers QuickBooks training for beginners, empowering you and your team with the knowledge to manage your own books.
