Have you ever experienced issues in your accounting department? Unexpected turnover, a re-hire that just isn’t the same. Issues that can’t seem to ever get resolved or the same mistakes being made month after month. Have you ever been in a situation where finding a good new hire takes too long while payables, inventory, and a good statement of financial position get interrupted. This can make running your golf course extremely painful, become time-consuming and costly.
At my courses, I could step in and check in play, prepare the deposits, run a function, open the kitchen, cook the breakfasts, cut cups, but I could not jump in and manage my books. If you don’t get help quickly from a knowledgeable bookkeeper that is familiar with golf courses things can really get behind. Not to mention if you miss remitting sales tax the penalties can be really bad.
What worked for me in the past was a move to offsite accounting. I trained an offsite team that insulated us from any issues like transfer of knowledge, single point of failure, sick leave etc. Back in the early 2000’s, I could see the value in this and started offering this team to other courses. We quickly picked up clients. We educated a growing management company that was out west and took care of all their corporate office, owned and managed satellite golf course operations. Going into that agreement they had informed me that they would likely be a short few years before they took it in-house at their corporate office but wanted to learn the systems that we had in place. It was a mutually beneficial agreement.
