Find hidden profits by staying current with your finances

Do you know that a staggering 85% do not reconcile their accounts on a regularly basis? By checking up on your income and outgo, you will ensure you have control of the money in your wallet.

Having re-constructed several years of QuickBooks files, I have solved many a mystery of where did my money go?  How can I be overdrawn? Here are suggestions for being in control of your hard earned dollars, and avoid costly bank fees.

  1. Review Balance Sheet and Income Statements (P & L) at least quarterly if not more.
  2. Reconcile Bank accounts monthly.
  3. Bank at more than one financial institution to develop a relationship that may help you when you need a loan. For example, have your Business Account at one bank, and your Personal Account at another.
  4. Hire a Bookkeeper to help you part time so you can focus on growing your business, or help with the Family Budget.
