Madison Brown, founder and CEO of https://madisondearly.com/ (Madison Dearly Bookkeeping), realizes and understands hiring a bookkeeper may not be as sexy as hiring a social media manager or copywriter. But knowing your numbers may be one of the most important things to know to have the ability to level-up your business. In this episode, I sit down with Madison to discuss, “Should a bookkeeper be your first hire?” Spoiler: Yes, yes it should! Hiring a bookkeeper allows you to know your numbers and level-up your business. When you’re ready to hire a bookkeeper, you’re not just a freelancer anymore. You’re the CEO of your business. If you don’t know how much money you have to hire employees, a business coach or join a mastermind, how are you going to confidently be able to do these things that are pivotal to the growth of your business? You have to know if you can afford those things because you don’t want to run your business on debt. It gives you so much more clarity and freedom as a business owner.
