Revolutionizing Small Business Finances: How Truly Bookkeeping Stands Apart from Traditional Services

Hello everyone, Kelli here, the founder of Truly Bookkeeping. Today, I want to address a crucial question that many business owners ponder: “Managing finances is a crucial aspect of running a successful business. How does Truly Bookkeeping uniquely address the financial needs of small businesses compared to traditional bookkeeping services?”

For many years, bookkeeping has been seen as a purely transactional job, often working behind the scenes. Traditional bookkeepers were typically given information after the fact, without being included in discussions about the business’s finances, despite having valuable insights. This perception is shifting in our industry, and more bookkeepers are stepping into advisory roles. This evolution is at the heart of what we do at Truly Bookkeeping.

At Truly Bookkeeping, we see ourselves as more than just number crunchers. We are trusted advisors who have a deep understanding of what’s happening within a business because we monitor their finances regularly. I firmly believe that numbers tell stories. Give me a spreadsheet, and I can describe what’s happening in a business by just looking at the numbers!

Bookkeepers are a HUGE asset to our clients. We possess knowledge that no one else has for that business. Since we work with a diverse range of clients, we understand common problems and effective solutions. Our expertise is invaluable because we take the time to have meaningful conversations with our clients. We ask questions and genuinely care about their business holistically. We understand that finances affect every aspect of a business and are, in turn, affected by every part of the business.

Running a business can be lonely, and no business owner is an expert at everything. All business owners need support, and that’s how we view our job—to provide support to business owners in whatever way we can. Our goal is to relieve you of the stress associated with financial management, allowing you to focus on what you do best: growing and running your business.

So, how do we uniquely address the financial needs of small businesses? Here are a few key ways:

1. Advisory Role: Unlike traditional bookkeepers who may only handle transactions, we act as advisors. We provide insights and guidance based on the financial data we manage, helping you make informed decisions.
2. Proactive Monitoring: We don’t just record transactions; we actively monitor your finances, looking for trends and potential issues. This proactive approach allows us to identify and address problems before they become significant.
3. Holistic Understanding: We understand that your finances are intertwined with every part of your business. We take a holistic approach, considering all aspects of your business to provide comprehensive financial management.
4. Personalized Support: We take the time to understand your unique business needs. Our personalized approach ensures that you receive the specific support you need to thrive.
5. Knowledge Sharing: We leverage our experience with a variety of clients to bring you the best practices and solutions that have been proven to work across different industries.

At Truly Bookkeeping, our mission is to help you succeed. We believe that by providing expert financial management and advisory services, we can support you in achieving your business goals. If you ever feel overwhelmed by your finances or simply want to ensure that your business is on the right track, we are here to help.
