At its core, bookkeeping is about keeping score in your business.
The financial reporting that a bookkeeper puts together for their clients is the scoreboard that shows if a business is doing the right things from both a sales and operations perspective to keep it profitable and thriving. But what if things aren’t looking as good as you want them to on your financial reports?
You have two options: make more sales or cut back on expenses.

-
Why you shouldn’t be tempted to add too many extras to “fill out” your offerings
-
Why making rushed hires to patch holes in your business might be a sign of operational inefficiencies
