On a pretty regular occasion, small business owners will reach out to me for help, when they need to qualify for a loan or regulatory approval for the their business.

Many times, they need to present financial statement but have not done any bookkeeping nor are they using QuickBooks to keep track of their financial transactions.

But they need these finanical statements so at the very last minute they retain the services of a financial/accounting professional to help with a last minute rush job.

Many new and small business owners dont understand the value of maintainign their books can bring to them.
