Let’s say a recording studio buys a $3000 computer and six $500 microphones. Are these Assets or Expenses? Do they show up on the Balance Sheet or the P&L?

Well, it depends on the Asset Threshold for the business.

If the Asset Threshold is $2500 (which is pretty standard), then we can depreciate the computer (making is an Asset), and we can expense the microphones (just wanted to use parentheses again lol).

Why is this even important?

The reason is because it affects your accounting system. Treating EVERYTHING like an asset is a waste of energy and gives a rediculous amount of detail to the books.

You wouldn’t depreciate your sticky notes or pencils, would you? And you certainly wouldn’t just outright expense a company car.

That’s why the threshold is so important. It gives a non negotiable, consistent rule of thumb when purchases dance around the line between Assets and Expenses.

So where is the line for your business? What dollar amount would count as an Asset?

In this world, only 2 things are certain: Death, and the Principles of Accounting

You read that right.

Tax laws change every year:
• Standard Deductions change
• Deductible Expenses change
• Income Tax Brackets change

What DOESN'T change?

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

If you understand that, then you'll not only have balanced books, but you'll forever know why they're balanced in the first place.

I rest my case.

I’m a ruthless minimalist. Less is ABSOLUTELY more, especially in bookkeeping. Let me explain:

So many people overcomplicate their QuickBooks for no real reason.

My bookkeeping workflow often looks like this:

Get rid of the clutter.
Eliminate the redundant lines on the P&L.
Make the financial statements stupidly simple.

Awesome.

NOW we actually have clean organized books.
NOW there’s room to add accounts as the business grows.
NOW there’s clarity.

99.9% of businesses in the US are small businesses.
45.9% of Americans are employed by a small business.
Small Businesses represent nearly half of America’s GDP.

And yet, only 65% of Small Biz owners say that their business is in good financial health.

As a bookkeeper, my job is to

- Give you hours of extra time to work on your business
- Uncover your cash flow mysteries
- Make sure tax season goes smoothly for your tax preparer

This doesn’t ensure financial health.

But it will uncover problems keeping your business from growing and allow you the time to solve them.

I walked for 30 minutes by myself, and thought about NOTHING. It was the most productive 30 minutes of my week. Why?

Before the walk I was feeling:
Stressed - from working 12 hours a day
Tired - from sleepless nights with a baby

But the BIGGEST problem: I could not stop thinking about work!

So I took a walk and told myself I am NOT allowed to think about work at all. Or anything else.

So what did I focus on instead?

-The sounds of the trees
-The breeze
-The feeling of the warm sun

I’m telling you guys right now: If you’re overwhelmed, do something with your body and just stop thinking. (This works better outside, even if it’s not great weather)

Now I’m ready to tackle another week of hustling!

And the best part:

It reminded me that because I help clients keep their books clean, I give them a little bit of extra time to NOT think about their businesses, so they can relax mentally as well.

Happy Sunday and God Bless

The odds of me ever having met my wife are CRAZY low.

I’m from NC, Katelyn’s from MN, 1200 miles away.

I had taken a gap year after high school to think about where I wanted to go.

She knew she wanted to go to Christendom, but got waitlisted.

I got accepted into a music school in Nashville, but decided I wanted to deepen my Catholic Faith, so I decided to go to Christendom College in VA.

I applied and was accepted, and someone else had decided not to go, allowing Katelyn to be likely the last person to be accepted before the school year started.

Entering into the school at the same time is what allowed us to get to know each other so well and spend more time learning and growing together,

If ANY of these things didn’t happen, then we wouldn’t have met at all!

What are the odds of you ever having met your spouse or significant other?

Unlike a lot of modern health gurus, I do NOT think everyone should get up at 5AM.

But for me, I’m going to test whether working on my bookkeeping business in the early morning is a good idea.

My main reasons:

1) I’m much more of a morning person anyway
2) The baby is almost always asleep at this time
3) I can have more time in the evening to spend with my wife

Here’s why I don’t think everyone should.

Some people work better late in the evening
Some people have different life schedules to consider
Some people HATE waking up early

Time of the day is subjective. The amount of work done in a day is objective.

Your wake-up time should effect your life in a positive way.

Don’t just do it because people online swear by it.

So.....I’ll let you know how this goes! *sips coffee*
