## Resource

Alicia Martinez is running a freelance business and tracking every dollar in a spreadsheet. It's working — for now. But she's wondering if it's time to graduate to real bookkeeping software, or skip straight to hiring a professional. Preston and George Azar, CPA and founder of Bright Budget, break down the honest answer: it depends on where your business is headed, how comfortable you are with your numbers, and whether your time is better spent elsewhere.
