It can be very exciting and rewarding, to run your own business. Most new businesses, however, run into their fair share of bumps in the road, and many struggles during their first couple of years of operation. Depending on your location and your industry, it may be more difficult for you to establish your company. 

If you have encountered some challenges in your business, and you’re not sure what to do next, you may wish to hire some outside help. There are many experienced, savvy professionals out there, who can offer valuable guidance for your business, including business consultants or financial advisors. Here are a few signs that may indicate it’s time to hire one:

1. Your books never line up

If you continually run into accounting discrepancies, and can’t figure out why your bookkeeping doesn’t add up, an experienced advisor can help. Sometimes having another set of eyes on your paperwork can identify the issue.

2. Your overhead is outrageous

For some companies, high overhead costs can eat away at revenue and prevent future growth. If you constantly feel held back by your overhead, a qualified consultant can help you find ways to reduce those costs and make better investments.

3. You haven’t found your ideal customers

When first starting a business, you often take any clients you can get, but over time, identifying your ideal demographic is key to sustainable success. A business consultant can help you get clear on who you want to work with, and how to reach them.

4. Your revenue is shaky

While it’s normal to have up and down months, depending on your industry, if you’re a year or two in, you should be seeing more consistent income. Working with an advisor can find your weak spots, and build a stronger revenue base.

5. You’re stretched too thin

Many entrepreneurs try to do it all sales, marketing, accounting, R&D, daily operations, etc…and end up burning out. Learning to delegate is key, and hiring outside help can keep you afloat. An experienced business consultant can help you make the most out of your time and energy.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Steve Wick and Assoc. is a highly reputable accounting firm with over 25 years of experience. As a small manufacturer, I need an accountant diverse in all areas of accounting, and Steve is that guy. He's honest, diligent and works hard to stay ahead of the game. In addition, he manages all correspondence with the IRS so I can focus on my business. I've worked with Steve for over twenty years, and I'm confident and comfortable with his advice and judgement in all areas of accounting.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value After years of trying to find a good accounting firm, we got started with Steve and his team a few years ago and I must say, it's one of the single best things we've done for our business. The help that we've received navigating through COVID, PPP loans, subsequent tax credits, and other financial challenges have been invaluable, and having somebody looking at our books and maintaining our financials has been a business saver for us. Steve and Angie have become more than accountants for us, they've become trusted advisors. I highly recommend Steve Wick & Associates for your accounting needs. They rock!

Steve Wick is a very talented CPA. I wish I would have found him years before I did. He takes time to get to know you – his business is clearly focused on relationships. Steve understands the “numbers” and as he says, they tell the story of where we’ve been, but more importantly he looks beyond the numbers to help you see why the numbers are the way they are. He digs in and helps you discover hidden roadblocks and bottlenecks and shows you how to bust through to the next level. I highly recommend Steve as not only a great numbers CPA, he’s also a remarkable financial strategist and profit improvement coach.

He is diligent in all aspects of tax prep and well-versed in the ever changing tax regulations. He can handle any of your accounting needs from payroll to quarterly and annual tax filings. I highly recommend his practice for any of your business or personal accounting needs.
