What risks do I face by managing my own bookkeeping?
Trying to handle bookkeeping on your own can lead to inaccurate records, missed tax deadlines, and costly compliance issues. Without expert oversight, you may not be in the best financial position to take advantage of tax-saving opportunities, struggle to track cash flow or miss early warning signs of financial trouble. Inaccurate books can also create stress during audits and tax season, making it harder to confidently make informed business decisions.
