Stress Relief.  That’s what I am here to help you with when it comes to your business finances and particularly your bookkeeping, which is why today I am giving you 3 tips to keep your bookkeeping up to date.  I know this is the time of the year when most business owners realize they may have fallen behind in their bookkeeping and they start to look for ways they can catch up before it is too late.  They start feeling the stress and overwhelm creep up on them as the tax season starts to draw near.  Oh my gosh, does this sound like a trailer to a horror movie to you?  Well, I guess it is that time of the year when things start to get a little spooky, but I hope you are not in this situation.  If you are, I’ll be going over these 3 simple tips for you in today’s episode.  If you have fallen behind in your bookkeeping, don’t put it off any longer.  Now is the time to really look at your financial statements and make sure you end the year exactly how you planned…or at the very least, you can end the year so that you are knowledgeable about your finances, and you can take advantage of any end of the year tax planning.  You can certainly be strategic with tax deductions when you plan ahead, but if you wait until after the end of the year, it’s pretty hard to go back and make any changes.  It doesn’t matter if you are using a computerized bookkeeping system like QuickBooks, Wave, Xero or FreshBooks or a manual system such as an Excel spreadsheet or Google Sheets, you need to have your bookkeeping in order so that you can prepare your tax returns, so why not make sure that this year’ books are up to date which will allow you to make smart year end business decisions.  Whether you are just getting ready to start your small business, you’re a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, remote virtual online bookkeeper or virtual assistant, listen in and find out which of these three options you are going to utilize to wrap up your end of the year bookkeeping with this year…and believe it or not, now is the time to begin thinking about how you would like your bookkeeping to go next year…

Have you heard about The Great Resignation or The Big Quit?  It seems to be impacting businesses big and small, but it doesn’t stop there.  Individuals or employees are seeing the impact of The Great Resignation as well.  The Great Resignation may have started with the pandemic, but it will be interesting to see how everything unfolds over the next few years.  I am seeing this particularly as business owners are struggling to find quality employees, but even more, I am seeing it on the other side where individuals have enjoyed working from home and want to start their own business to continue with the new life they have been acclimated with from the impact of the pandemic.  In today’s episode, I am going to cover what is driving this Great Resignation, who it is impacting the most and what you can do to improve your situation whether you are a business owner, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, virtual online bookkeeper or virtual assistant, or you are just getting ready to start your small business.  I am going to dive into both sides of this Great Resignation, and specifically, I will be touching on how bookkeeping will be impacting business owners and why now is a perfect time to create a profitable bookkeeping business.  If you’ve been on the fence about starting a bookkeeping business, or have been just thinking about it, listen in so that you can see just how valuable bookkeeping is for businesses, especially with The Great Resignation, as business owners are relying on bookkeepers now more than they ever have…

Being efficient will save you time, and since we only have so much time each and every day, we want to make sure we are maximizing all the efficiencies in our business.  But have you ever though that once you master your bookkeeping workflows, you would also be creating a system that will be more accurate and reliable?  When you set up your workflows and follow them through, you will notice you are more organized, and you will even save time trying to hunt down paperwork that you know is in your office somewhere.  I understand, I have done this myself.  In today’s episode, I am going to talk about the benefits of finding a workflow system that works for your business whether you are just getting ready to start your small business, you’re a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, virtual online bookkeeper or virtual assistant.  In most cases, you don’t even need to spend any additional money, you just need to create your workflow system and stick to it.  Once you have this down, you’ll see just how easy it is delegate tasks and make sure everyone is on the same page when it comes to getting work done.  It doesn’t matter if you are using a computerized bookkeeping system like QuickBooks, Wave, Xero or FreshBooks or a manual system such as an Excel spreadsheet or Google Sheets, you can still set up workflows to ensure you are consistent in how you are doing your bookkeeping.  Just think about what you could be doing with the extra time you gain by having workflows in your business.  Listen in…I’m sure today’s episode will be well worth your time…

Over the last few episodes, I’ve talked about why you shouldn’t be commingling your personal and business funds, and today’s episode is no different, but like I’ve mentioned in the past, I understand that there are times when this happens, and you need to know how to account for it in your bookkeeping so that your financial statements are not reflecting the wrong data about your business.  In today’s episode, I am going to focus on times when you may have paid for a personal expense out of your business account.  This could be the result of accidentally grabbing the wrong credit card or checkbook when you are shopping for personal items.  Even though you know these expenses are not supposed to be in your business financials, you will still need to record the transactions so that your books will still be in balance.  The question of how to record these transactions comes up a lot and after today’s episode, you will know exactly what you need to do if this ever happens to you.  Don’t miss this episode if you are using a computerized bookkeeping system like QuickBooks, Wave, Xero or FreshBooks or a manual system such as an Excel spreadsheet or Google Sheets and you happen to have a situation where you have used your business funds to pay for a personal item.  This happens in businesses periodically no matter if you are just getting ready to start your small business, you’re a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, virtual online bookkeeper or virtual assistant, so listen in and make sure you are prepared to record transactions like this in your business…
