When Should You Hire a Bookkeeper as a Neurospicy Entrepreneur?
(No, Not Just When It’s Tax Time And You Have A Year’s Worth of Expenses To Categorize)
Hey there, neurospicy entrepreneur!
You’ve got a million ideas, you’re crushing sales, you’re almost remembering to pay your quarterly taxes — and you’re about to launch your next Big Thing.
Except… what about the receipts? The spreadsheets? The random sticky notes with cryptic dollar signs on them?
Yeah. Let’s talk about when you should actually hand that mess over to a bookkeeper instead of white-knuckling your DIY finance attempts.
🚨 Red Flags: It’s Time
👉 You spend more time panicking about money than earning it.
👉 Your bank balance feels like a haunted house — you know there’s something scary in there, but you’d rather not look.
👉 You miss invoices, bill payments, or tax due dates because they keep slipping off your mental radar.
👉 Your ADHD hyperfocus means you don’t check your financial systems for weeks — or months — at a time.
👉 You have no idea what’s actually profitable in your business, so you keep guessing.
If even one of these feels painfully familiar? That’s your sign. A bookkeeper can swoop in with a calculator cape and get those receipts out of your sock drawer before tax season turns you into a caffeinated, sweaty, spreadsheet-sobbing gremlin.
🤔 But…What If I’m Not “Big Enough” Yet?
Listen up: you do not have to wait until you’re a 7-figure empire to get bookkeeping help. If you are making any revenue consistently and you plan to grow, a bookkeeper is worth it.
Think of it this way:
You can focus on your zone of genius.
They focus on wrangling the numbers so you can scale without drama.
It’s cheaper to prevent financial chaos than to fix it after a meltdown.
