7 Strategies Bookkeepers use to help businesses increase their profits
#4. Are you having cash flow problems?
Companies may not recognize that they have cash flow issues–or, more commonly, may know that they have cash flow issues but are not sure what is causing them. If your spending exceeds your cash inflow, not to be confused with profit, then you have a cash flow issue.
However, knowing you have a cash flow problem is not enough–to address the issue, you must know what’s causing it. How do you know what you should be spending? Are you current on collecting your receivables? Even when sales are strong cash flow can still be an issue.
Cash flow defines the rate of a business life for any new business. A business could be making profits but still be in trouble if cash flow is not handled properly.
Do you know if your sales are declining or your expenses are increasing?
Bookkeepers monitor the sources and uses of cash for business owners, so the owners do not get caught unprepared by a cash or cash-equivalent deficiency or new costs. They can prepare a statement of cash-flow to enable organizations to predict times of low cash flow and act in the right way.
What to do next-
Review these strategies to get the most out of your business. Your financial data needs to be timely and accurate. Outsourcing to a professional can help your business stay on top of the important numbers for your business.
With your books in good hands you can relax with the people and things that are important to you. In addition to focusing on growing your business.
Dunaway Bookkeeping would love the opportunity to discuss how we can help your business be successful and grow. Without having to go it alone.

3. Provides accurate and timely financial records
Have you ever had to file a tax extension because your books weren’t up to date?
Have you had to have amendments made to your tax return because of bookkeeping errors?
Don’t get caught, not being able to deduct all your expenses due to not keeping your personal and business accounts separated. Don’t miss out on tax deductions due to incomplete records.
Many business owners that do their own bookkeeping incorrectly categorize their expenses. This can happen through lack of understanding of what each expense account is for. It can also be a side effect of trying to do the bookkeeping and run the business at the same time.
That’s where professional bookkeepers come in, we provide accurate financial information you can depend on. We use QuickBooks Online for your accounting needs. QuickBooks Online has controls in place that check for errors and discrepancies.
We reconcile your books to your bank and credit card accounts monthly. We research any discrepancies and correct them promptly.
While we don’t do tax preparation, you can count on us to have your reports ready for your tax professional.

2. Bookkeeping errors can cost you thousands of dollars
Does your bookkeeper use an accounting platform like QuickBooks Online, or do they still use pencil and paper?
If they are still “old school” their calculations and postings could be off, costing you money every month. Not using an automated system of bookkeeping can lead to duplicate payments and other common mistakes.
Doing bank and credit card reconciliations by hand every month leaves room for errors in posting payments.
Professional bookkeepers using automated systems, like QuickBooks Online, can help prevent errors like misplaced decimals, ensuring tax compliance, and reducing the risk of tax penalties. They offer more than just data entry, they use specialized skills and technology to streamline, categorize, and reconcile accounts resulting in more reliable data.
At Dunaway Bookkeeping, we use the latest version of QuickBooks Online platform in our business. You scan or take a picture of the receipt and send it directly to me, so that it will not be lost in the shuffle.

1. The correct business structure can possibly increase your profits.

Are you paying more in taxes than what you should be? Do you even know?
Whatever type of business entity your business is, whether it has employees or not, makes a big difference when it comes to taxes. Not all business structures are created equal.
You might have chosen to be a sole proprietor, single member LLC, partnership LLC, elected to become an S-Corp, or C-Corp. Sole proprietor is usually where a lot of businesses start, then later convert to an LLC or an S-Corp. LLC’s provide limited liability for business owners.
If elected to be an S-Corporation, it opens new ways to save taxes on health insurance costs, out-of-pocket medical expenses, vehicle expenses, and much more. It allows you to adjust your ratio of salary/profit distributions, which can make a portion of your income exempt from payroll taxes, potentially saving thousands of dollars!
Every business structure is unique, so we review the structures, weigh the pros and cons to find the perfect business structure for your business. So, you can save thousands a year and continue to save money year after year.

TIP--
Negotiating with your vendors for more favorable terms is a solid strategy to improve your cash flow. If your current agreement is net 30, consider asking for net 60 or 90. Especially if you have a long-standing relationship with the vendor.
Alternatively, you could ask to have late fees waived. When done with respect and directness, negotiating new payment terms isn't as daunting as it may seem.
Always reach out early, well before payments are due. Last minute requests for new terms are poor form and no one likes to be rushed.
Think about what your vendors will get from the renegotiated terms. Increased order volume for improved cash flexibility, perhaps?
And remember to aim high, but be reasonable. Negotiations are all about give and take.

TIP--Keeping inventory in check by avoiding over or understocking can help you save money, reduce waste, and help you improve your small business cash flow management.
Use inventory management tools to track levels in real time, notify you when supplies are low, or automate orders so you never run out.

Know your tax obligation

Small business cash flow management is difficult enough even without factoring in tax obligations. Surprise tax bills can create cash crises if you're not prepared.

The remedy is maintaining accurate bookkeeping, making estimated tax payments, and filing your returns on time. Keep a close eye on your tax obligations—like sales, excise, and payroll tax—to save yourself from unnecessary penalties or fines.

When in doubt, turn to your accountant or tax professional to help estimate your tax obligations so you have the cash on hand to cover your tax payments.

Control spending
Reining in your spending should always be a go-to for managing cash flow. Sure, you have to spend money to make money sometimes. But saving money is often just as effective.
Whenever you're considering spending money on your business, take a look at your expenses with an investment mindset before you commit. Take a step back and consider whether the expenditure will boost revenue, reduce costs elsewhere, or even improve efficiency.
An easy example is new hires. Will another employee bring in more sales or bring new skills to the company? Will they reduce workload so you can focus on long-term growth?
3 more ways to control business expenses:
1. Make a budget and stick to it
2. Work with suppliers to negotiate better prices or discounts
3. Use automation to streamline tasks and free up time
