It's that time of the year again. Look alive and stay sharp because... it's almost time to teach children everywhere the art of Halloween candy sorting. The mom tax is real. And real taxes are real; and the skills you've honed sorting Skittles all these years completely translate to keeping clean books. Sorting is sorting afterall. Sorting your business expenses into categories can be fun too!

Happy Bookkeeping!

Hey, hey, bookkeeping bestie! Well, it's that time of the year again. Can you feel that seasonal panic setting in? This is when I often see anxiety pop up when it comes to bookkeeping because most business owners fall behind at some point, especially during their busy seasons.

If you have not kept up with your bookkeeping, rest assured - you don't need to spend your days chained to your desk just to catch up. You just need a simple and easy plan. Hit play because we're gonna walk through some tips to get you caught up!

If you need help doing any of these steps, reach out and book a Next Step Session. We will look at your files, and I will give you a customized plan so that you are ready for the end of the year. You can go from being months behind to getting back on track in just a few short sessions.

I would love to hear from you. Send me a DM on Instagram and tell me how it's going! I would love to chat.

As always, I love being here with you each week. Thank you so much for being here, and until next time, happy bookkeeping!

Happy Bookkeeping!

Hey, bookkeeping besties! Have you ever gone to the doctor's office, stepped on the scale, and thought, "That is a totally different number than what my home scale says versus what the scale at the gym says. So which one is right?"

Well, that's actually how a lot of business owners feel when they log into your QuickBooks and they see a difference between what the QuickBooks cash amount is and what the bank says, and that can cause a panicky feeling, right?

Well, today, I'm going to break down the most common reasons your QuickBooks and your bank don't line up, when that is actually acceptable, and when it might be a red flag and what to do so that you can trust your numbers and move forward with confidence.

Make sure that you grab a Next Step Session if you're still stuck. This is just bookkeeping. You're not broken, your business isn't broken. All things in bookkeeping, for the most part can be fixed, but you might just need a little help. So I'd love to chat with you and see how I could help.

Happy Bookkeeping!

Hey, hey, bookkeeping besties! I believe QuickBooks is a powerful tool, but only if it's set up for your business and not left only at the default settings. Leaving your default settings on would be like saying "everybody loves coffee" and thinking black coffee, but the truth is that some of us like creamers; some of us like sugar-free; some of us like it with milk; and some of it us like it iced versus hot. There are a lot of different things that we can tweak or customize to make coffee taste good.

It's the same in QuickBooks. We want to adjust some of the settings so that it works for you and your business.

Happy Bookkeeping!

Hey, friend! Have you noticed that things look a little different around here? Well, we have a new business name and a new podcast look, but the same vision.

I thought it might be fun to share with you why we decided to rebrand, some of the strategy behind it, and how I knew it was time for an upgrade.

So full disclosure, I have DIYed, my branding for years in my business. I bet you can relate. And, at some point you might have decided that you wanted something more professional, but you knew you weren't going to be able to do it, either because of your skill level or your availability. We reach this same point with our bookkeeping.

Listen in to hear the fun behind-the-scenes story behind my rebrand, and how we can let our businesses grow right along with us as entrepreneurs!

Hey, besties! Well, today we are jumping in to a topic that I keep getting asked about recently, which is: Are HoneyBook and QuickBooks the same? Are they friends? Do they integrate well together? What are the similarities and differences and all of the interworkings of both of those systems? Let's dive in!

Happy Bookkeeping!

Most people DIY their bookkeepping to save money right? And here, you'll find lots of episodes where I actually support you DIYing your bookkeeping for a season in, but if you're doing it wrong it might be costing you more than you realize.

As you're weighing the cost of bookkeeping keep these hidden costs in mind:

• The emotional and mental drain of worrying about your numbers.
• Errors can cost you money literally if you're paying more taxes that you need to.
• Messy records make your CPA fees higher.
• Mistakes in bookkeeping can lead to you making hiring or spending decisions based on faulty information.
• And don't forget the opportunity cost of all the time you no longer have available to work creatively in your business.
