fuck that. get a college weeny in there, 3rd year accounting major, call it an internship, they get credit, you get them for 15 an hour.

LOL, I have one lady that works the front desk. She schedules jobsite orders, handles the foremen on the radio, answers the phone, gets mail, files, mailes out checks, etc... She gets $575/week and has worked for my partner for about 20 years. I don't trust her with any actual bookkeeping.

I like doing the books myself because I catch so much that I wouldn't if I was just reviewing bills and passing them on. Plus, I see everything. I know if the payroll looks too high or too low, I know what kind of month we are having. I know when a tire bill looks too high. I know what fuel costs are doing week to week. I know when truckers are fucking me on their hours.

It only takes about 2 or 3 hours a day. But, at some point I probably will get a bean counter in here to do that stuff.
