TBL Episode 54: Why your accountant should NOT be doing your bookkeeping

I don't know how to say this gently, so I'm just going to say it. Very few accountants are good at bookkeeping.  I share this because many entrepreneurs believe that it would make sense to have the person filing their taxes also be the person that's managing their bookkeeping.  This arrangement would seem both convenient and logical, right? Unfortunately for online entrepreneurs, they usually end up disappointed with the experience because they realize that the bookkeeping service they're receiving is only designed to help the accountant file the tax return.  Bookkeeping can be so much more valuable and impactful than just preparing for tax season. So for this episode, we discuss: Why you should be keeping your accountant focused just on your taxes Why a dedicated bookkeeper is so important once your business hits six figures a year in revenue Why bookkeeping services can be so inconsistent and frustrating How Evolved Finance uplevels bookkeeping for your business What you should be expecting from a bookkeeper as an online business owner What we do differently to help you understand your business better Why most bookkeeping isn't up to par
