Business owners are innately able to handle a modicum of complexity when it comes to the accounting and financial aspects of their businesses. If this isn’t true, they likely won’t be in business for long or are really good at delegation. Indeed, business-minded entrepreneurs and service professionals begin their business journey with some financial skills. The question then becomes: are these skills adequate when growth occurs, and is delegating these growing complex financial duties worth the cost?
Even simply having these questions in mind is an indication of some “big idea”, which by the way is generally a good one. Yet, there are a couple fearful doubts that generally stop business owners from outsourcing their accounting. Simply put, they think it’ll be too expensive and the duty is too sensitive to trust to some unknown service. Maybe there’s more reasons, but those are a good start.
These fears/questions/doubts are understandable roadblocks to come against, yet what’s it really like on the other side of these? Most aren’t willing to find out until they realize how cumbersome their in-house accounting has really become. So when and how does a business owner get to this point, anyway?
Good question. Let’s list a few reasons why small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) become burdened with in-house accounting:
- Regulatory Changes (Taxes, Compliance Issues)
- Complex Data Privacy and Fraud Concerns
- System Integration Understanding
- In-House Financial Team Turnover
- Employee Payroll Complexities
When and why to outsource your accounting needs are basically answered at the same time. Basically, when the time and resources SMBsexpend is greater than the cost of outsourcing – this is the tipping point, which sparks the consideration process. Now, recognizing this point and not believing the fallacies (highlighted before), becomes the real obstacle for change.

Results of Finding a Trustworthy and Efficient Accounting Service
SMBs, generally, have limited staff and resources, and in the process of: marketing, implementing new ERP, CRM, WMS, VoIP systems,onboarding, training, dealing with insurance, managing customers, stocking inventory, and taking out the trash – dealing with taxes, payroll, and accounting is just a bit too much.
