Ever wondered why bookkeepers are the real superheroes of the business world? It's because they master the intricacies of the chart of accounts, ensuring every income, cost of goods, and expense is perfectly categorized in the profit and loss (also known as the income statement). It may not sound like a superhero task to you when you first start tracking these accounts, but trust us, it IS! That’s why our resident bookkeeper mensch, Paul Rosenblum delves into these 3 accounts … and more! More? Yes! There can be more to the income statement than these 3 accounts so be sure to listen through to the end for those extra special crispy accounts (okay, they may or may not be crispy but they are special and Paul will explain why).

Why did the accountant break up with their calculator? It just wasn't adding up! (Did we mention that Paul is still recovering from tax season?) No, seriously, we need to have a talk about your business adding up so our resident bookkeeping mensch, Paul Rosenblum, is taking his magnifying glass (instead of his calculator) to show you the financial story of your business. He’ll do this in two episodes. Part 1, this episode,  is about the balance sheet accounts (you know: assets, liability and equity accounts) and part 2 will be about the income statement (also known as profit and loss).  If you liked the first Chart of Accounts episode (episode 7, link below), then you’re going to really benefit from this update.

As tax season winds down, our resident bookkeeping mensch, Paul Rosenblum, has some words of wisdom for small business owners in this special (and not ranty) client’s toolkit episode. Toolkit for what? Being good to YOUR bookkeeper (even if they’re not Paul). The heart of it is, as Billy Joel aptly says, “It’s a matter of trust”.  Paul outlines how  small business owners can have realistic expectations, communicate clearly and often, and maintain transparency in financial matters with their bookkeepers. And there’s some bad behavior that’s not okay to do that he’ll share with you as well. But you’ll have to listen for those stories. A-One, two, a-one, two, three, four.
