Everything is going up, from the price of eggs to a gallon of gas. My Mom always said. “Once things go up they aren’t likely to come down”

And every industry has been hit with increasing prices.
I’ve heard owners say, I’ll lose clients if I raise my prices."

But as a bookkeeper, I see the flip side of this every day: owner’s working harder, paying more for overhead, and walking away with less actual profit at the end of the month.

Your pricing is a business tool. When your costs increase, your rates have to adjust to match.

Your books should help you understand whether your current pricing is actually producing the profit your business needs.

Check your profit and loss report. Do the numbers support the increase?

Pricing should be based on your numbers, not your guilt.
Need help making sense of your margins?

I love being an owner!
The day started with a BNI meeting. Then I grabbed a coffee with a referral partner. Instead of heading back to do some work I decided instead to do some shopping and take in this beautiful weather.
If I was still working in someone else’s business I would probably spend the day looking out a window wishing I was outside enjoying this beautiful sunny day.
I started Rankin Bookkeeping to have the freedom to take a day off without having to explain why.

I am not a shopaholic 🤑

What Happens When You Don't Close Your Books?
It can trigger a domino effect of financial chaos, compliance risks, and operational blindness as well as tax and legal nightmares.

A consistent monthly-end process helps establish:
This month's books have been reviewed.
Prevents accidental edits or backdating of finalized past transactions.
And makes financial reporting more reliable.

Performing a monthly close sequence in your accounting software sets up a better process to ensure your books are locked down on time.

Are you currently behind on closing your books, I can help you catch up.

5 Signs You Need A Cleanup

Bookkeeping doesn’t look the same as it did five years ago, and neither do the warning signs that signal you might need a cleanup.

While many small business owners try to tidy their books when anomalies surface, they often neglect to keep everything accurate and organized ahead of irregularities.

5 Signs it’s Time:

1) Too many disconnected integrations:
Excess apps and rushed integrations can lead to duplicate entries or incomplete transactions. Performing an audit can help figure out why.

2) Unreconciled automated workflow errors:
Automated rules are effective tools but they can also miscategorize transactions. If you don’t have daily human oversight to check for any unreconciled errors.

3) Surprising P&L results: Surprisingly high or low profit margins should trigger bookkeeping cleanup right away. Don’t excuse it as an off month.

4) Preparing for a loan:
Clean up your books ahead of every loan application to resolve anomalies. This put you in the best possible position for approval. Don’t let lenders be the ones to tell you that something is amiss.

5) Incoming tax season:
Tax season can feel shorter than expected. Performing a thorough audit of your books can avoid a stressful time crunch.

These are only a few , the key is finding and identifying small anomalies before they become systemic problems. This is vital to keep your finances transparent, accurate, and compliant.

Knowing when to start a cleanup is equally as important as it is in performing one.

Need help keeping your books tidy, let’s have a conversation.

Bookkeeping Tip of the Day

Negative Accounts Deserve a Question Mark

A negative balance on your Balance sheet or P/L reports isn't automatically wrong. But they need to be investigated.
And should make you ask:
Why is this negative?

Depending on the account, the answer could indicate a timing issue, incorrect transaction, missing entry, or something completely legitimate.

Don't correct numbers you don't understand.

Have negative numbers and don’t understand why? Perhaps it’s time to seek a professional bookkeeper for answers.
