Our Messy Path to Outsourcing Our Bookkeeping
The first time we outsourced our bookkeeping, we hired a woman in Texas. She explained that our books were a mess and promised to “clean them up.” We knew our books were messy before we hired her, but it was manageable. Our doors were open, payroll was processed smoothly, and the bills were being paid. Let’s face it. Accounting is made-up nonsense. It’s arbitrary, random, and often illogical. But we have to do it. I had to get the bookkeeping done or face the consequences, so I pushed on with the wacky Texas bookkeeper and hoped for the best.
