Budgeting is a process that helps you predict your income and expenses during a set period of time. A detailed budgeting process allows you to analyse your whole business into parts and their respective functionality.

Many business owners I talk to don't have a problem growing their business, they have a problem managing that growth. Often when a business grows rapidly without being prepared it can lead to strains on the owner’s time, stretched resources, unhappy and disengaged employees and pressure on the finances of the business.
No doubt that as a small business owner you will want to know the headline figures but you may also have to do the bulk of the bookkeeping to keep costs down. “How hard can bookkeeping be? I’ll just do it myself.” This isn't an unusual thought for some small business owners but the reality can be quite different.
“Virtual bookkeeping services are scary. They will not work.” It’s a common misconception of those who have not tried yet the various online accounting services. But as soon as they’ve signed up for a virtual small business accounting service, they soon realise the benefits of it.
Many businesses these days are looking to outsourcing as part of a successful long-term competitive strategy – one that cuts administrative costs and increases administrative efficiencies.

With the help of mobile phones and tablets, accessing your financial documents on the go can be achieved with cloud technology. Despite the availability of these tools, only relatively few small business owners are using them. If you’re one of those owners who are resistant to the concept of this technology, it’s probably the right time for you to overcome your fears.
