Many small businesses make the mistake of not keeping up with financial management within the company. They put it off until tax season and suddenly have to catch up on a year of bookwork to file taxes. The owners of the company have no idea how much, if any taxes they owe until they catch up on all this bookwork. Ultimately, they spend many hours, and sleepless nights with worry over what is going to happen and how much they will owe the IRS, because they are unsure how to manage the bookkeeping tasks, and they think they can't afford to have a professional do it for them.
