Quick Tips for Cleaner Books

1. Separate business and personal spending  

Even if you’re small, use a dedicated business account. It makes taxes and tracking much easier.

2. Reconcile monthly  

Match your bank and credit card statements to your books every month. Small errors are easier to fix than year‑old ones.

3. Save receipts for anything over $(your pre-determined amount).  Keep digital copies—email receipts to a dedicated folder or use your accounting software’s upload feature.

4. Block one “money hour” per week  

Spend 60 minutes reviewing income, expenses, and open invoices. Consistency beats perfection.
