"Who Should I Hire First for My Business? 3 Smart Outsourcing Moves in Year One"
Starting your own business is exciting—but let’s be honest, it’s also overwhelming. From invoicing to marketing to taxes, the to-do list never ends. One of the smartest moves you can make early on? Outsource strategically.
Many entrepreneurs ask, “Who should I hire first for my business?” The answer: don’t think hire—think outsource. In your first year, outsourcing key tasks is often more affordable than hiring employees, and it allows you to focus on growth, not busywork.
1. Bookkeeping and Financial Tracking
Your time should be spent generating revenue—not stressing over QuickBooks or spreadsheets. A professional bookkeeper (like DBR!) helps you:
Track income and expenses correctly
Avoid costly tax mistakes
Understand your financial health from day one
Plus, clean books = smart decisions. Always.
2. Administrative Support (VA Services)
A virtual assistant can handle:
Email management
Appointment setting
Document organization
Customer support
Even 5–10 hours a month can free up hours of your time. That’s time you can spend on sales, networking, or developing your product.
3. Graphic Design or Branding
Don’t waste time hacking Canva when you can hire a freelance designer to:
Build your logo
Create branded templates
Design marketing materials that make you look pro from day one
First impressions matter. Great design builds trust—fast.
