Staying on top of your books isn’t just about tax time — it gives you a clear picture of how your business is actually performing.
The longer you leave it, the harder it gets. Set aside 20 minutes each week to match your bank transactions against your records.
Open a dedicated business bank account from day one. Mixing personal and business spending is the number one cause of bookkeeping headaches.
Use a phone app to photograph receipts immediately. By the time you need them, paper ones will have faded or been lost.
Send invoices the same day you complete work. The longer you wait, the longer you wait to get paid.
Set a date each month to look at your profit and loss. Trends you catch early are problems you can fix.
