A business owner rushed to mail tax forms at the last minute. The speaker learned the hard way that handling accounting solo costs time you need for sales and marketing. Hire a CPA and work with them year-round so tax filing takes a few phone calls instead of panic.
I just left the post office and saw this business owner rushing in last minute to get their taxes mailed out. It reminded me of my own mistakes 20 years ago when I used to do the same, do everything on my own, trying to save a buck here or a buck there. But my friends, if you want to grow your business, you have no time to do your own accounting, your own bookkeeping, your own taxes. Find a qualified accountant and a CPA. And work with them throughout the year so that when it comes to filing season, it'll take you a couple phone calls, get everything in order, and they submit on your behalf. They can e-file. And instead of you dealing with all this paperwork and, and coming in last minute to the post office, you should be out there marketing, selling, pitching, delivering on the services that you sold. That's how you grow the business. Outsource all the back office to qualified contractors and partners.
