Seasonal Business Financials

Greetings, I'm Donna Molin, a seasoned bookkeeper with a proven track record in managing financial data for businesses of all sizes. I've helped many entrepreneurs gain a better understanding of their financials, and today, I want to tackle a phrase that is commonly misunderstood in our industry—'organized and detailed'.

The phrase "organized and detailed" might seem like an obvious requirement for a bookkeeper, but including it in a job ad suggests a lack of understanding of the bookkeeping profession. It's comparable to advertising for a baseball player with the requirement that they must be able to catch and hit.

At the core of bookkeeping is the inherent need for organization and meticulous attention to detail. Emphasizing these traits in a job posting is unnecessary and may indicate a lack of appreciation for the essential skills a bookkeeper brings to the table.

As a financial manager, strategist, and analyst, our goal is to educate entrepreneurs on how to make their business efforts more effective. We want to help you increase your income, reduce losses, and generate pure profit. It's important to correct misconceptions about bookkeeping and back-office operations, as these misunderstandings can lead to financial damage and added stress for business owners.

This video aims to provide valuable insight, even if it comes across as tough love. By recognizing and respecting the skills and traits that a bookkeeper inherently possesses, you can better support your financial team and ultimately strengthen your business's financial foundation.
