This time around I'm a little smarter. I'm keeping books, records, and customers. I actually have a business plan. I can promise you this, the effort involved in keeping books is worth the payoff at tax time (or when the IRS comes knocking). However, around here we have a lot of seasonal businesses. And if your business is seasonal you need to work like crazy "in season." And that leaves very little time for anything else.
You can't put off accounts receivable / payable and payroll. You must keep your current customers and you'll need to spend some time developing new ones. This is exactly where a VA comes in handy. Give us the jobs you hate doing, the busy work, so you can concentrate on the parts of your job you like and are good at. We can help you an hour a week or 20. Try us and you'll be convinced.
While you are at it take a quick read of this article, "7 Things a Small Business Owner Should Know" it sums up the basics.
