Bookkeeping 101: Organizing Your Finances

Good bookkeeping is the foundation of a healthy business. It’s not just about taxes; it’s about knowing exactly how your business is performing.

Separate Business and Personal

The cardinal rule: never mix funds. Open a dedicated business checking account and credit card immediately.

Digital Receipt Management

Stop keeping shoeboxes of receipts. Use apps to scan and categorize receipts instantly. The IRS accepts digital copies.

Reconcile Monthly

Don't wait until December. Reconcile your bank statements every month to catch errors and fraudulent charges early.

Hire a Pro

As you grow, your time is better spent on strategy than data entry. Outsourcing your bookkeeping ensures accuracy and frees up your valuable time.
