If your numbers feel messy, start here.

1. Make sure your bank and credit card accounts are connected, synced, and fully up to date so you are working with complete and accurate data.

2. Review and categorize your transactions by going through anything uncategorized or incorrect so your reports accurately reflect what is happening in your business.

3. If you have personal expenses in your business accounts, go through and recategorize them, and start using separate accounts to keep your numbers clear and reliable.

4. Review your reports to make sure there are no unusual or incorrect categories so your financials stay clean and easy to understand.
