Your Questions about Getting Started with Accounting
What can I do now to straighten out my books?
Start with simple software like QuickBooks or Xero. These programs are designed for non-accountants and have tutorials to help you get set up. We can also help you with basic accounting training to get your business on track, including tools for free cash flow formulas.
How long does it take to get started?
Onboarding with us usually takes 15 to 30 days. It depends on how ready you are and how much work needs to be done. We help with everything from setting up profit and loss statements to organizing your books.
Do I still need in-house bookkeeping or accounting staff?
It depends on your business size and needs. Some clients keep their in-house staff while we manage them. Others rely entirely on us for all their bookkeeping and accounting. We offer solutions for small businesses with or without existing teams.
What is the difference between Hatcher CFO Solutions and hiring a local bookkeeper?
We’re not just a bookkeeping firm. While bookkeepers handle simple tasks like tracking expenses, we provide full financial services. We help businesses plan for growth, optimize financial reporting, manage free cash flow, and create strategies to reach their goals.
