Salt Lake City Bookkeeping Blog

I say it to our team all the time:

We are a customer service business that does accounting.

And I truly believe it. 

When you look at the businesses you continually buy from what do they have in common? In addition to great products or services that you want or need I guarantee most of them have outstanding customer service.

How nice is it when you buy something from Amazon or Zappos and it is just not perfect so you return it and there are no questions or hassles? What about when you get instantaneous support and problems solved through a web chat or phone call where you didn't have to wait?

You will continually support businesses that offer great customer service.

The accounting industry is not different. We are in the service industry and therefore need to offer outstanding service.  

Let me explain how we have designed the customer experience and service at SLC Bookkeeping so you can understand what makes us different and what you can expect working with us.

Cash flow management became a big concern for a lot of businesses this year, especially after COVID really set in. The problem was that most businesses not only didn't have a good handle on their cash flow, but their accounting system was not set up in a manner that made cash flow management possible. 

There are a lot of POS systems out there. But it can be really difficult to find which systems work best for your restaurant, and what is going to integrate with QuickBooks well.

As a food truck owner, there is just too much to do. Ordering food, hiring and training help, preparing food for each day, taking customer orders, cleaning, and the list goes on and on. How can you expect to have time to care about making money?

Driven by ambition, most business owners tend to think beyond the realms of the possible. I know this because I’ve dabbled in the business world for a good minute.

Running a business is as fulfilling as it is stressful. There is joy that comes from seeing your idea become reality. It doesn't hurt that as a business owner, you get to be your own boss, schedule your work hours, and have the opportunity to help your community.

Nevertheless, there is more to owning a company that product creation and marketing. While it is important to improve your products and get your brand message across audiences, keeping tabs of your expenditures and making sure your business finances are in order is just as essential in running a successful enterprise.

Needless to say, bookkeeping should be a priority for every business owner. As mundane and tedious as it is, ensuring that your books are in order can be the difference between making a profit and losing your investment.
