Christmas has passed, the New Year’s celebrations are over, and resolutions are starting to fade with every passing week. For many businesses, winter is a hard season, filled with cold and endless snow and ice.

This year can be different.

Often, we tend to want to hold onto control of our businesses, since they are so hard to start up in the first place. Threfore, how do you know when it’s time to turn to a financial expert?

Here are three signs 2016 may be the time to bring in outside help:

1) Ignorance
Simply put, financial issues are not good issues to practice a “trial by fire” approach in. Is this your first time facing the financial issues associated with running a business? Do you turn to an accountant to help with your personal taxes? If the answer is yes, it’s time to bring in help.

2) Time
Proper financial attention can take a lot of time, if done properly. As the owner of your own business, time is often not a luxury you have an abundance of. If you find yourself working more hours than is healthy, or simply running out of time each day to complete your tasks, a financial expert should be your next call.

3) Desire
Some people simply are not meant to work on the financial end of things. If you run a business, but have absolutely no interest in taxes or accounting, you don’t have to feel guilty. Simply make a call to White and Associates and put our team to work for you.
