As a small business owner, you wear many hats—but bookkeeping shouldn’t be one of them.
Bookkeeping Basics for Small Businesses isn’t just about balancing the checkbook or tracking expenses—it’s about understanding your business inside and out. At James D Miller, CPA, we help small business owners take control of their finances so they can make smarter decisions, avoid surprises, and grow confidently.
Why Bookkeeping Matters
Accurate, up-to-date bookkeeping allows you to:
- Monitor cash flow
- Track profits and losses
- Stay compliant with tax regulations
- Prepare for loans or investors
- Identify opportunities to cut costs or expand
Too many small businesses fall behind on their books, leading to missed deductions, financial blind spots, and even IRS issues.
Common Bookkeeping Mistakes
If you’re managing your books on your own, you might be:
- Mixing personal and business expenses
- Not reconciling bank accounts
- Forgetting to track receipts or invoices
- Misclassifying income or expenses
- Waiting until tax time to get organized
These errors may seem small but can have costly consequences.
