Managing finances can be particularly challenging for individuals with ADHD. Perfectionism can mean there’s a need for organization, attention to detail, and consistency – but knowing where to start and how to achieve this can feel completely overwhelming. A bookkeeper can help ease this burden and here’s the top 5 ways we can help at LMO Bookkeeping Limited:
1. Reduce Overwhelm
Bookkeeping requires focus and structure to do boring and repetitive tasks. If you have ADHD, just thinking about these without being in hyperfocus mode will stress you out and you’ll want to put your accounts in timeout to think about their actions! At LMO Bookkeeping we take over these responsibilities, reducing stress and ensuring your financial records stay accurate and up-to-date.
2. Stay on Top of Deadlines
Tax filings, bill payments, and financial tracking come with strict deadlines. The staff at LMO Bookkeeping keep you on track, ensuring everything is submitted on time and avoiding penalties or last-minute scrambles.
3. Encourage Consistent Organization
ADHD often makes it hard to maintain systems over time – the initial dopamine hit of having everything filed quickly disappears when the tasks need to be repeated and repeated and repeated. At LMO Bookkeeping we establish a system for your financial documents that works for you. We might set up and manage a finance inbox for you, reducing chaos and saving you time.
4. Free Up Your Energy
Let’s face it - doing tasks we don’t enjoy drains our energy and we put them off - which takes up even more energy because we don’t want to do them and then feel guilty because they’re not done…. Exhausting!!! Outsourcing bookkeeping allows you to focus on your strengths and passions without being bogged down by financial tasks. This frees up mental bandwidth for what truly matters to you.
5. Offering Professional Reports
At LMO Bookkeeping we encourage you to understand your accounts as much as you’d like to. We not only handle numbers but also provide valuable advice. This might mean you get a video talking you through your Profit & Loss report or we jump on a call to get any missing items processed. You can simply request a video of your reports so you can pause and recap as many times as necessary until you understand. This understanding is helping you save money, avoid impulsive decisions, and stay financially secure. Who doesn’t want to be financially secure?!
Final Thoughts
For those with ADHD, investing in a bookkeeper that understands your needs can transform financial management from a source of stress into a seamless process.
