In today’s evolving business environment, managing finances can be overwhelming. However, entrepreneurs can uncover significant potential by collaborating with a dedicated bookkeeper.
For years, Details Matter Bookkeeping & Advisory has supported bookkeeping needs for Frederick County businesses — a legacy owner, Katie Hanna, proudly upholds after taking over the business from her mother. With a discerning eye for detail and a genuine commitment to service, Katie elevates bookkeeping from a mere task to a collaborative partnership.
As a long-time resident, she understands the unique challenges and opportunities of running a local business. Here’s why working with a professional bookkeeper like Katie helps entrepreneurs focus on what truly matters:
1. Building a Strong Financial Foundation
One of Katie’s top priorities is establishing a robust financial foundation for her clients through tailored service packages. The Essential package provides fundamental bookkeeping services, maintaining accurate records to provide a clear picture of cash flow. The Growth package offers in-depth strategy sessions for informed decision-making, while the Premium package offers small businesses a full accounting department at a fraction of the cost of hiring employees.
2. Reducing Stress for Tax Season
With tax season around the corner, the pressure of deadlines can feel overwhelming, especially for business owners trying to do it alone. "Whether it’s getting organized or hiring a bookkeeper, taking action early is important. Waiting until the last minute to categorize and reconcile 12 months of expenses is stressful, but starting now helps avoid the rush and ensures you're prepared for smarter tax planning."
3. A Partner in Your Business Journey
Katie transcends the traditional role of a bookkeeper, serving as a dedicated partner in her clients’ business journeys. As a small business owner herself, she understands the unique challenges entrepreneurs face. With a bookkeeping certification and QuickBooks expertise, Katie treats her clients' financial records as her own, tailoring strategies to align with their growth vision, whether launching a startup or managing an established business.
4. Freeing Business Owners to Focus on What Matters Most
Managing finances can divert business owners from essential tasks, like cultivating community relationships and devising growth strategies. "Many business owners have a sense of spending but lack clarity on growth. Accurate data is essential for making informed decisions," Katie said. "Once we have a baseline, we can see which parts are thriving and where improvements are needed. Without it, you're operating in the dark." DetailsMatterBookkeeping.com
