One of the hardest things for me as a small business owner, is keeping track of all the expenses and income for my business. I tend to pile receipts everywhere and I don’t print off the invoices that I need from my ebay and paypal accounts in a timely fashion. Guess what happens? Tax time is very stressful for me!
It is difficult to find someone who will do bookkeeping for small business, but I think I may have found one. Accounting Paradise charges a small flat fee for small businesses that need help setting up and keeping their accounting systems. They also offer a discount on the QuickBooks Program.
I don’t need Payroll services (since I am the only employee), but they do offer that as well.

I totally agree with you about bookeeping being one of the hardest things about being a small business owner.
I have been running a multiple six figure home business since 2001 and the bookeeping was horrendous since I used to do it myself.
Since then I like to think I’ve gotten smarter, LOL and have since hired a bookeeper who does the work for me. There was some time spent learning the nuances of my direct sales and internet marketing business but since then it has been smooth sailing.
I highly recommend finding someone to do this service for you. As an entrepreneur we tend to think we can do everything ourselves but one of the things we can learn that will serve as well is delegation.
