Time is money, and money is time. You’ve heard this cliché before and if you’re a small or medium sized business (SMB) owner, you might live by this statement. With fewer resources, less staff, and more work, time is everything to the small business owner.
On average, business owners work approximately 50 hours a week. But, to them, it doesn’t feel like it. Time flies when you’re doing everything, all the time.
So where does all the time go? One frequent, albeit necessary time waster is administrative tasks (24%).
What do we mean by administrative tasks? Finances, bookkeeping, filing invoices, general payroll duties, things like that.
It’s no secret that business finances are a pain. SMB owners consistently state that they despise accounting more than any other operational activity. Which is why finances are routinely outsourced to accountants and bookkeepers, or simply overlooked.
As an SMB owner, it’s crucial to have good time management skills, focusing your energy on growing your business and turning a profit, not on the other stuff. But, as unnecessary as it might seem, these tasks are vital to growing your business.
Finding ways to free up your time and mental energy from things like financial and administrative tasks is an investment in the health of your business.
a survey conducted in 2019, 58% of business owners stated they spent on average 5 hours per week on marketing. According to the same survey, businesses who spend more on marketing experienced higher growth rates and higher revenue sales.
We want businesses spending more time on the important stuff.
Managing finances can be a challenge for any small business owner. You want to focus your energy on your customers, product, and/or service, and managing your finances can feel like a chore. But, it’s a chore that, when continuously pushed back, can wreak havoc in the future.
58% of people surveyed said they loathed bookkeeping, finding it “draining.” Payroll is also a complex task.
At Veem, we understand SMBs and their struggles more than anyone. We want to make your money work for you, rather than the other way around. Why stress about paper and payment? Put your energy towards what really matters: your customers, your relationships, and your business’s growth.

Other than the fact that finances are simply not enjoyable, here are two other reasons why they may be pushed to the back burner.
Accounting is hard
If you don’t already have a degree or some prior knowledge in accounting, money management is a hard thing to learn, understand, and implement. Terms like payroll, accounts payable and receivable, and invoices may as well be Greek to the accounting newbie. Just ask long time Veem customers Patti and Scott Scharf of Catching Clouds.
Bookkeeping is time-consuming
Not only is accounting hard to learn, but it’s a continuing education. You have to keep up with new software and methods if you want to keep your business in the green. It’s also definitely something that gets put off, and when you get back to it, you’ll have more work to do. Veem user Kelly Gonsalves would say the same, it’s why her business, Totally Booked, exists.
