You know the vibes when all your transactions are automatically syncing + everything reconciles down to the penny?
Here's how you get there as a small business owner who wants to do their own bookkeeping: ↓
1️⃣ Sync your bank accounts to your bookkeeping software.
2️⃣ For each transaction, double-check that it's categorized correctly. For example, an Amazon order for printer paper would be "Office Supplies", or a Google ad would be "Marketing".
3️⃣ Confirm auto-rules or matched credit card payments are correct before accepting them.
4️⃣ If your sales are being pulled in from your CRM or payment processor, check to make sure nothing is double-counted!
5️⃣ Upload + attach receipts for big/unusual purchases to the appropriate transaction.
6️⃣ Reconcile your accounts to ensure each account matches its source document (like a bank or CC statement).
7️⃣ Run your financial reports and benchmark your performance towards your 2026 goals.
*Pssst* Don't wanna worry about all that? If you hire me, I'll do all the behind-the-scenes work that ends with you getting your financial reports delivered to your inbox every month instead! 📧
