Cash, Payroll, and Petty Cash Puzzles: Bookkeeping isn’t just “data entry”—it’s detective work that keeps your books accurate and your business safe. Our favorite Bookkeeping Mensch, Paul Rosenblum, gets into the messy reality of handling petty cash, payroll checks, tips, and owner contributions in this episode, using a real client case as a guide. From partner paychecks cashed through the register, to undocumented utilities paid with personal money, to tips that must be reported correctly, Paul explains how these situations can create a jigsaw puzzle if not recorded properly. He shows where cash on hand belongs, how to document unusual transactions, and why open communication between business owners and bookkeepers is essential to avoid costly mistakes. Because in bookkeeping, every dollar tells a story—and it’s never just data entry.
