You did what now? Yep! Here’s why:
Why buy a bookkeeping firm?
- The last few years I was doing small business advising and kept seeing bad, out dated bookkeeping. So we’d refer clients over to a good option and it was transformative. Clients suddenly had up to date financials, they started to understand their numbers, and they could make decisions with data.
- I had an itch to buy a business and kept coming back to bookkeeping.
- It can be solid margins with recurring revenue and a chance to serve the small business clients I love.
Are you an accountant?
- No. There’s a great team of 10 employees and solid systems. I’ll focus on growing the company and will hire to replace the owners billable work.
- I took a decent amount of accounting classes in undergrad and MBA. I minored in finance. I spent time before the closing brushing up on accounting courses and learning bookkeeping.
- The advising work I was doing before involved reading financial statements, working within Quickbooks, building forecasts, cash flow planning and more.
- I’ll continue to learn and get accreditations to know how to help our team.
