In-House Bookkeeper vs. Independent Contractor
If you’re a business owner who’s made the decision to hire a bookkeeper to help manage your financial records, the first question to ask yourself is if you should hire an in-house employee to fill that position, or if you should partner with an independent contractor.
In the paragraphs that follow, I'll give my two cents on both options.
Generally speaking, one advantage to an in-house position is that it will probably cost less per hour. Keep in mind, however, that you’re hiring an actual employee, which means that you, as an employer, have certain legal obligations to that person. Additionally, although you might pay less in terms of the person’s wage, you will also be responsible to pay social security, medicare, workman’s comp, and state/federal unemployment taxes for the hours they work.
Why Should I Hire a Bookkeeper?
You probably got into your current line of work because it's something you enjoy doing. But as a business owner, what happens when the administrative part of the business starts to interfere with your passion?
Perhaps you've found yourself at the following crossroads a time or two.
On one hand, you could do the work you're passionate about, the work that makes your company profitable, and the work that motivated you to get into that industry to begin with. Or, on the other hand, you could do the administrative work, and tackle the growing to-do list that's getting in the way of growing your business and bringing in revenue.
