Thanks Paulina! You gave me back hours of my time. Instead of losing my mind over my books, I spent that time on what matters most: my customers.

1. Why do I need dedicated bookkeeping?Let's be honest, to a certain point, keeping bookkeeping in-house makes sense. When it starts to feel unmanageable (e.g., you're falling behind, you're losing track of expenses and payments, etc.), it is beneficial to consider hiring someone like Trades CXO. Small business bookkeeping for trades has unique elements that a general accountant might not be familiar with (e.g., WIP accounting for big jobs, payroll implications if you're moving between cities for jobs, etc.). When it starts to get hard, Trades CXO can help.

2. Can a bookkeeper handle tax preparation?Trades CXO's bookkeepers will ensure you have everything you need to be prepared for tax season. However, when it comes time to file taxes, we recommend that you engage with a certified tax professional (e.g., CPA). We'll give you everything you need to ensure you and your CPA get the most out of your tax filing.

3. What's the difference between an accountant and a bookkeeper?There are many differences, but the main one to focus on is that bookkeepers manage day-to-day books, which is important for a tradesperson. It ensures you're staying profitable with every job. Accountants are important for tax filings and audit preparation. Most folks do not leverage CPAs for day-to-day bookkeeping as it is cost prohibitive. The most common model we see with our clients is that Trades CXO provides them day-to-day support via bookkeepers. Then, customers engage with local CPAs during tax filing.

4. How can good bookkeeping benefit my businesses?Good bookkeeping keeps you from making costly mistakes (e.g., overspending on a project, losing track of a payment) that puts your business at risk. The most common reasons small businesses fail are: 1) not having a growing, consistent customer base and 2) not achieving sustainable profits on their jobs. Trades CXO can help with both!
