May is almost done. ๐ Before you flip the calendar to June, let's make sure your financial house is in perfect order. This end-of-month bookkeeping checklist is the exact process our team uses with every Acctsage client โ and it takes less than 2 hours when your systems are set up correctly.
โ
๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ 1: Reconcile all bank and credit card accounts. Match every transaction to your records. Every. Single. One. Unreconciled accounts hide errors, fraud, and opportunities.
โ
๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ 2: Review accounts receivable. Who owes you money? How old is each invoice? Any invoice over 30 days should get a follow-up call this week โ not next month.
โ
๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ 3: Review accounts payable. What do you owe? When is it due? Are there any vendor discounts available for early payment? Know your obligations before they know you.
โ
๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ 4: Run your P&L and compare to budget. Did you hit your revenue target? Where did you overspend? What drove the variances? This 10-minute analysis is worth thousands of dollars in decisions.
โ
๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ 5: Confirm payroll accuracy. Review employee hours, deductions, and any changes. Payroll errors compound and are painful to fix retroactively.
โ
๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ 6: Set aside taxes. If you're self-employed or a business owner, transfer your estimated quarterly tax amount to a separate account. Future-you will be deeply grateful.
Print this list. Post it somewhere visible. Run through it every month on the last Friday. This single habit will transform your financial clarity. ๐
