Outsource These Tasks to Make Running Your Small Business Easier

Originally Published: December 23, 2025

Being the boss means doing a lot of jobs as well as hiring for a multitude of roles within your company. There are, however, some positions you do not need to hire for, especially if you are a small business entrepreneur. Read on to learn which ones you can outsource.

Hire a Cleaning Service

Keeping your office space clean is not only a good thing to do for hygiene and general cleanliness, but it is also an essential business practice. If your office is dirty and unsanitary, your employees will not want to stay, and prospective employees will certainly not want to work there. Add to that the value of first impressions. Any customer or client who walks through the front doors of your office building should be met with a clean and sparkling environment, not one that leads them to second-guess whether or not they should sit down, let alone actually use the restroom.

The best solution to this ongoing need is to hire a commercial office cleaner. Of course, you can task an employee to take care of these duties, but unless they are on the janitorial staff, cleaning up anything beyond their exploded pasta in the microwave is not their job. A commercial cleaner can come in after hours or before the day begins to do a deep cleaning and put everything in order so you and your team can start the day fresh. Everyone, from your employees to your valued clientele, will notice. And if they don’t, that is a good thing, because if it were dirty, they would definitely notice.

Bookkeeping and Tax Preparation

Unless accounting is in your proverbial wheelhouse, this complex subject matter is best left to the experts. To that end, bookkeeping and tax preparation are ideally suited to outsourcing. Find a reputable accounting firm that specializes in small businesses or the type of niche business you run. Look at their track record and reviews online, and set up an interview before signing any contracts. You want to understand what value they will provide with their services and make certain your needs will be met in full.

A professional accounting firm is valuable for a small business as they are up to date on the current laws regarding business tax law and bookkeeping best practices. They will ensure any new laws are applied to your accounting needs and make sure your quarterly taxes are paid on time with the correct documentation in place. In addition, this type of firm can handle your payroll expenses and direct deposits for personnel. They are experienced in the nuances of overtime, holiday pay, general leave, parental leave, and sick pay, etc., so you can focus on running your business.
