MY NAME IS WINSTON OW
Your Bookkeeping Professional
At Initial Bookkeeping, I am a firm believer that no two businesses are alike even if they offer the same products or services. What makes each business unique is derived from the owner's missions, values and visions for their company in the current state and into the future. I truly believe these owners go into business to do what they do best, which results in the highest rate of return for their time and energy.
In the early phase of running a business, the owner puts on many hats in the areas of marketing, human resources, bookkeeping, and administrative responsibilities. But as the business grows, they shift their primary focus on growth and seldom have time to take care of the other functional areas of their business. For example, weekly bookkeeping administrations take months to complete. By not having up-to-date financial information, disastrous consequences can happen. For example: Is the growth in operations profitable? Are the accounts receivable collected on time? Is the bill (accounts payable) paid on time? Is cash flow healthy? And many more.
Finance is an essential and critical tool to help owners understand the pulse of their business and its operations. Without this comprehensive financial information prepared on a timely and accurate basis, the owner is not able to understand the situation and make informed decisions to give them that competitive advantage.
To quote Mr. Ben Robinson, a mentor and someone I look up to, who would say "First and foremost, Bookkeeping is a relationship business." These few simple words depict the most crucial fundamental goal in relationship building between a bookkeeper and their client. Most bookkeepers in the industry can accomplish the bookkeeping work itself, but the ones that listen, take the time to understand the client's business and come up with a solution that caters to them, creates actual value.
Ask yourself: why are you looking at this website right now when you know you have a lot of other important business decisions and processes to take care of? Are you frustrated with your current bookkeeping status and how it is not helping you to grow your business or, worse yet, not even up-to-date? Or do you want to start your new business with a proper set of bookkeeping practices and procedures to ensure adequate future growth? Whatever the situation you are in right now, there must be a valid reason why you landed on this page at this moment in time.
Let's get together and have a chat session to uncover what your needs are and how we can solve your problems. Now, you might be thinking: Is he going to pitch a sales call to me? I am a firm believer that an authentic and satisfying sale doesn't occur unless both parties have a mutual understanding of what they are getting into and the benefits and values that engagement brings. By not having the same goals and visions, it will lead to disastrous outcomes. My goals for this chat session are to understand what your current situation is, what possible solutions are out there for you and lastly and most importantly, whether we have similar visions and goals to work together.
