Why you should stay off handling finances as a business owner.

One of the principles I have adopted in my business is to stay off anything that has to do with financial matters. I let a particular staff that was employed for managing finances to handle the financial matters. I strictly focus on management. I think there are two reasons why this approach is beneficial to a business finances.

1) Accountability: When you as a boss starts handling finances, you might not be able to demonstrate accountability to how money comes in and goes out. You would not be able to keep proper records unless your business is that tiny. As a business owner, you have so many things to fix and you would always forget to record how funds are spent.

2) Distinction between business funds and personal funds: When a business owner only approves funds but doesn't handle them, there would be less propensity of spending business funds on personal uses. That keeps the business in a strong financial position always.

If you are a partner in any business small or big, and if you are not adept in handling money matters in any way, then it is always better for you to keep off from handling the business's money matters and leave it to others. This will only help you from any future embarrassments. Instead, you can pay attention to the areas of business where you are confident about and carry on the work. That will be much better for you.
