I’ve talked to a lot of people who are overwhelmed with the concept of having more than one person in their house. It is a topic many of them had in mind, but it is something that comes up when they are trying to take into account their finances, or when they are hiring someone new. They are asking themselves how much they can afford to pay for a new employee or add on to their current employees.
It is actually pretty common for people who are looking to hire someone new to worry that they can afford to hire that person but not the other ones. This is because people are often not prepared to handle the extra cost and, as a result, end up losing money. One way to avoid this issue is to hire a few people and pay them to handle more than one thing at a time.
We often see this type of scenario when we hire out other people to do a job that we are not willing to do. So this issue can be solved by having two or more people working on the same thing at the same time. For example, maybe one person will be responsible for the payroll and another person will be responsible for accounting duties. Or maybe the person in charge of the payroll will be responsible for the accounting and another person will handle the payroll.
The most common example of this is the owner of a restaurant hiring a manager to do bookkeeping. The manager will hire a payroll person to do bookkeeping and the owner will hire another person who will do bookkeeping duties. Or, the owner of a restaurant hires another person to do bookkeeping and then hires a third person to do accounting. In all of these cases, the person who is responsible for the payroll is not the same one who is responsible for the accounting.
The biggest threat to the business owner is that the person who is responsible for payroll will also be responsible for payroll. This will cause an accounting error in the event that a payroll person is working. This is a huge mistake because there is a great chance that this person will not be doing bookkeeping and will instead be doing payroll. The problem is that the person who is responsible for payroll is not the same one who is responsible for bookkeeping.
This is the problem with payroll for an accounting department. The person who is payroll should be the person who is responsible for bookkeeping. In our first example, this person was the accounting professional, but in the second situation, it is the person who is payroll. If you are both the responsible party for payroll and bookkeeping, you will only make it worse if one of you is working the other one’s job.
This is where a lot of people get into trouble by hiring someone who is not actually responsible for payroll. If you don’t have a written contract with the person who will do payroll, then you will end up with a situation where they are both doing the same job. For example, let’s say you hire someone to do payroll and then they go on vacation until the end of the year. Now, let’s say they hired someone to do bookkeeping, but that person had no job.
I have worked with people who were hired in this situation and it can get pretty ugly. The best solution is to hire someone who has a job that someone else is responsible for. Someone who is responsible for paychecks and accounts payable, for example.
Ok. So let’s say you hire a bookkeeper, who is responsible for bookkeeping but not accounting. What happens next? Well, you hire someone else to do accounting. Now you do accounting. And then you hire someone else to do bookkeeping. So now you do accounting and bookkeeping. And then you hire someone else to do accounting and bookkeeping… etc.
The reason I say this is because accountants aren’t evil. They are just people. They do their jobs. And while they aren’t evil, they still aren’t above criticism. If you hire an accountant, you should be aware that you don’t want to be the accountant’s accountability partner. If you don’t want to be accountable, you should hire a bookkeeper instead.
