You’re doing your own bookkeeping and admin to save money.
But what is it actually costing you?
Let's say your billable time is worth $150 an hour.
(Use your own rate here)
Now look at how many hours you spend each week on:
Bookkeeping
Invoicing
Estimate follow-up
CRM cleanup
Scheduling
Paperwork
Say you spend just 5 hours a week on office work.
5 hours × $150 = $750 a week
That's about $3,000 a month of time you could have spent working on the business or making money in the field.
Maybe paying for help feels like an expense. But doing it yourself has a cost too. What is your time really worth?
