When you start a service-based business, you juggle every task going. You don’t just play one role, you play them all. Sales, delivery, invoicing, chasing payments, social media, admin, tech, bookkeeping… it all lands on your desk. But the service businesses that grow quickly and sustainably, have one thing in common: They outsource everything except their zone of genius.

Growing a team is exciting, but it comes with its own set of challenges. Cash flow being one of them. While your revenue might be climbing, the gap between invoicing clients and actually receiving payment can create serious problems when you've got salaries to pay, software subscriptions to maintain, and operational costs multiplying.

When you first started your business, doing your own bookkeeping probably made perfect sense. You knew every transaction, every client, and every expense by heart. A simple spreadsheet or basic accounting software seemed like all you needed. But as your business grows, that DIY approach that once served you well can quickly become your biggest bottleneck.
