So it is time to decide on recruiting some help. When deciding to do it yourself vs referring out, a few things need to be noted. It has been said that the best accountant will pay for themselves. I subscribe! Unless you were a numbers wiz in school, I do not recommend being your own accountant. Be sure to organize your information so you have accurate numbers to report and keep costs down. There are a number of online programs to help you do this. I personally like Xero to track my income and outgo.
