Why “Doing It Yourself” Bookkeeping Gets Expensive
Many business owners handle their own bookkeeping in the early days. It makes sense — money is tight, and there aren’t that many transactions. But as the business grows, DIY bookkeeping often turns from cost-saving to costly.
1. Time Costs More Than You Think
Every hour spent reconciling accounts is an hour not spent on sales, customer service, or strategy. At some point, your time is worth far more than the bookkeeping bill you’re avoiding.
2. Mistakes Compound
DIY bookkeeping often leads to miscategorized expenses, missed write-offs, or incorrect GST filings. A small mistake once a month turns into a big cleanup job at year-end — and accountants charge extra for that.
3. Lost Insight
Bookkeeping isn’t just compliance. Done properly, it shows where money is coming from, where it’s going, and which parts of the business are most profitable. DIY often reduces bookkeeping to “just data entry,” leaving you blind to those insights.
The Fix: Know When to Let Go
Outsourcing bookkeeping doesn’t mean you stop paying attention to your numbers. It means you get accurate records, time back in your week, and the ability to make decisions based on real data instead of gut feeling.
Doing your own books feels like saving money — until you realize what it’s really costing.
