COSTS TIP

 #1:
Organize Your Finances 

Staying organized is the foundation for financial success. If your receipts are scattered and you can’t keep up with the payments that are due, then you will be wasting time trying to find the right paperwork. Plus, missed payments result in late fees and interest charges, which increase the overall amount that is paid each month. 

There’s no question that good organization can save you both time and money. When your bookkeeper is working on your transactions and financial reports, they can only work on the documents that are provided. It doesn’t matter if you have an in-house bookkeeper or outsourced bookkeeping services… you are paying more than necessary for their time if they are spending hours sorting through a mess of paperwork. 

If you are looking for ways to cut bookkeeping costs, then talk to your bookkeeper about the way the information should be presented. As a financial expert, your bookkeeper will offer suggestions and advice that will streamline the workflow and allow the bookkeeper to maximize the time spent on the project. 

Tip #2:
Separate Your Business and Personal Spending

A clear-cut system to define business spending and personal spending will simplify the reconciliation of the accounts Additionally, it takes less time to determine the right deductions that can be tallied when it is time to do your taxes each year.
