The Person With the Most Financial Control in Your Business

cfo podcast Jan 30, 2023

It's not your CFO or tax professional, so who do you think it is?

You may be surprised to find that I believe your bookkeeper has the most financial control in your business. Your bookkeeper determines how your financial data is logged and shared. They hold a lot of power in the decisions they make.

If they don't have a basic understanding of what is deductible, you could be missing out on tons of tax savings.

 

"If you can find someone to work with who's really good and works well with you as a communication channel and as a resource and just a sounding board, then you found a great professional to work with."
