Your business is a lot like a traffic.

You have a continual flow coming and going.

Your income ebbs and flows.

Your expenses ebb and flow.

What shouldn't ebb and flow is your attention to your bookkeeping.

Whether you're in a high traffic or low traffic time, make sure you're making time for your books.

Just like traffic lights regulate the flow of cars to make sure they don't get backed up, make sure you have a regular time to manage your books.

Then they don't get overwhelming and you catch problems sooner.

Dear ,

You may be a great marketer, wonderful , and fantastic manager, but you don't have to be everything for your business to be successful.

You may be phenomenal at customer service but that doesn't mean you need to sit in the front office fielding calls.

Play to your strengths.

Do what you love.

Outsource the rest.

You'll enjoy it more and your business will grow faster without you burning out.

Sincerely,
Your future self

Bookkeeping can benefit any business owner.

Unless you started a bookkeeping business, chances are you want to focus on your business (not your books) and still know that you're books are being done well.

Good news! I have openings to take on a couple more clients!

If you are a or have a I'd be happy to talk to you about doing your books so you can focus on the part of your business you enjoy.

Below are just a few examples of service-based businesses:

Balancing your Chart of Accounts

It's not a matter of numbers and making sure your transactions are accounted for.

Balancing your Chart of Accounts is making sure that your categories are useful but not too broad and not too detailed.

Office Supplies could be a great category if you use it for front office supplies, but if you use it as a catch all then it's too general.

On the other hand if you have categories for each item (paper clips, paper, ink, sanitizer) then it's too detailed and overwhelming.

An effective Chart of Accounts uses as few or as many categories as you need in your business to effectively report the areas you need to know about.

And the best part is that each business is unique so you can design your Chart of Accounts to meet your business needs.

What is a Chart of Accounts? And why do I need it?

The short answer: a chart of accounts is how you categorize the money coming in and going out of your business. You need it to help you see where it's all coming and going and, of course, to make filing taxes less headache for you and your accountant.

Do you have 'that' pile?

You know the one that collects everything?

The one that you'll get to when you have a few minutes?

Unless you already have a system, then you have a pile.

Best way to take care of the pile: find a system that works for you.

I know you may not know where to start. I have known people, especially with ADD or high stress that are overwhelmed with even getting started. If that's you reach out and we'll brainstorm.

If you know what works for you then start today, this hour, with that invoice, or contract. Having an organized financial plan, office, business, and home reduces stress and increases productivity. And who couldn't use more of that?

Expenses and Liabilities

Aren't they the same thing?

Well, no. They're not.

An expense is what you pay regularly to keep your business running. It's the things you need that you pay for at the time. Things like toner, printer paper, filing materials, cleaning supplies, or lunch for the staff.

Liabilities are what you owe others and pay over time. That loan you took out to get started, or the one you used to purchase an asset, or in really hard times it could be a loan used to purchase printer paper and cleaning supplies. It's anything that will take payments over time to pay back. These are debts you owe to other companies or entities.'

Make sure to track these correctly so your books stay clean and your reports run accurately.
