1 Organising youraccounts
Often business owners struggle to understand their finances.Trying to make sense of their accounts on
their own,while not impossible, does provide a challenge. If they are unfamiliar with how the basic
accounting process works, it is easy to begin to feel overwhelmed right at the beginning. Before they
know it, they are knee deep in paper and they have no idea how their business is doing. Thinking that
they can get away without making a plan to track their business activity is a major downfall. Taking the
time to plan and organise your financial information will avoid this and prove to be quite fruitful. Getting
into the habit of tracking income and expenses frequently and regularly will make it easy to understand
your ongoing performance and complete the end of year processes that much quicker.
What’s more, it is imperative to maintain a separation of business and personal finances. Some people
tend to think that the line can be blurred however the consequences for misrepresenting your business
profits by any margin can be crippling to anorganisation and is always unethical. Business expenses
should always be separated from personal expenses. When setting up your accounting system, always
createa separate system for each of business and personal transactions.
Decide what you need to keep. This means looking at every piece of paper – the proverbial financial
puzzle.
When bank and credit card statements come in make a habit of reconciling the transactions with the
receipts in your action file.
If a receipt requires further action, such as items that have been returned or disputed charges, set it
aside.
Choose a central and safe place to store your investment papers and bank documents.
Once identified, take care of credit card issues as soon as possible. When reconciled file the paperwork
away.
