Ditch the Busywork: Bookkeeping for Accountants

How much time does your firm spend on simple business bookkeeping for accounts? Too much probably.

Every year there’s more demand for a decreasing pool of accountants. You need to provide exemplary service for your accounts… but it does hurt a bit every time you have to tell a prospect that you’re not accepting new clients. These people want your services and could help grow your firm, if only you had the resources to support them.

How much time are you spending on mundane bookkeeping tasks for your existing clients? For highly specialized accountants, that kind of tedium is a waste of their talent. Spending time transcribing and logging is a waste of resources that could be spent on complex auditing, analysis, or compliance work.

Getting bogged down in busywork keeps you from doing more for more clients — and growing your firm the way you want to.

The Bookkeeping Decline

While tech advancements over the past 30 years have definitely had an impact on the world of accounting, the changes to the business bookkeeping side of things has been limited to say the least.

It’s understandable. Everyone has books. How do you get every business to adopt unified standards and innovations? This means you may be getting a ledger that looks like it’s from the 1970s at tax time, and sometimes you’re getting a standard Quickbooks file. This has really only been exacerbated by the decline of “bookkeeper” as a profession, often leaving CPAs and LPAs to pick up the slack.

We all know that standard bookkeeping isn’t something that really requires a specialized accountant. Most firms would rather have consistent, organized books sent regularly for compliance, withholdings, and tax reporting. But, if the alternative may be getting a freezer bag stuffed full of graph paper and receipts…

The ideal situation is that organized books arrive on time every time. It’s not ideal to do books for all these clients rather than take more clients, but who else will?

The fact is, the best way to grow is to find a reliable bookkeeper to do that work for less than your CPAs and LPAs. The right tools for the right job.

Better Bookkeeping With Technology

So many businesses do bookkeeping the hard way. Then their accountants have to sort it all out — at an hourly rate, of course. With recent advances in agentic AI and automation, custom reporting and record keeping systems are no longer reserved for multinational enterprises.

A dedicated bookkeeper leveraging technology specialized for the task can prepare clients’ books far more efficiently than a traditional CPA or LPA, and at a lower rate. Save your experts’ time for what it’s needed on, while also offering a white label solution to make sure all your clients’ books come to you in upstanding condition.

Not only does your firm get some needed flexibility and room to grow, your clients’ lives get easier too. Custom reporting and submission automations let them pay less attention to their books, while their existing systems are working together to create better records in the background.

Meanwhile, your people are freed from their busywork and can do more for existing clients and take on new ones.
