Somewhere along the way, working 24/7 became this weird badge of honor for entrepreneurs...

NEWSFLASH: That's your one-way ticket to burnout city. 🎟️

I've seen waaay too many [your niche] end up there because they try to do *everything* in their business. 🥲

A real win for business?

Ever contributed your personal money to your business account? 💸

A lot of business owners worry that their cash transfer is going to count as taxable income, and the good news is: it doesn't!

When you put personal funds into your business, it’s not taxable income. You’re just giving your business a cash boost. 💰

But you should know, the way your transfer should be recorded depends on how your business is set up. ⤵️

It might be called an owner’s contribution, a partner’s contribution, a capital contribution, or even a shareholder loan!

Knowing how to correctly track this type of transfer is crucial to keeping clean + accurate books!📚

POV: You check all your transactions, hit the reconciliation button in your bookkeeping software, and see that there’s STILL a difference between the balance on your books... 🫠

So, what do you do?

P.S. I *know* you don't have time in your day running your business to spend hours tracking down bookkeeping errors to the last penny. That's when you need to hire me!

Here's EXACTLY what I recommend to my clients when it comes to their monthly money date:

→ Run a YTD comparative P&L to see how your income + spending compares to this same time last year.

If you're spending way more in a certain expense category, make sure this actually aligns with your long-term goals. 📊

→ Run an A/R Aging report to see which clients (if any) are late on paying you.

Make a note of who you need to follow up with! 📲

→ Review your bank balance and cash flow.

Do you have enough cash in the bank to meet all your upcoming bills and expenses? 💰

→ Take a look at the goals you set for the year and benchmark your performance (aka see how much progress you've made towards them!).

P.S. If you aren't able to have money dates because your bookkeeping isn't done, you need me! 👋

These bookkeeping mistakes I see a lot of businesses making?

They come with a very REAL cost for your business! 😮‍💨

Here's what happens when you get a little lazy with your expense tracking: ↓

Those "small" expenses that you didn't want to track *were* going to lower your taxable income (aka you get to pay less in taxes).

But when they don't make it on your books? You're sending money to the IRS that you could've kept in your bank account.

Okay, okay, what about a mistake in the opposite direction, you accidentally forget to record some of your income on your books? 💰

This can lead to underreporting your income on your tax return... a tax issue that can have your business facing penalties AND interest!

Looking for tax-ready bookkeeping where you don't have to worry about these mistakes? I help businesses clean up, catch up, and stay on track with their books. 📚

That budget bookkeeping option might *look* like a great deal...

Until you're hit with a nastygram from the IRS, you overpay in taxes because legitimate write-offs got missed, and you can't get a hold of anyone for MONTHS. 🙃

That's not just a hypothetical, one business owner told me their budget bookkeeper simply disappeared without responses for three months. By the time they found me, their books were six months behind and vendors were calling daily.

One of the most commonly missed tax deductions I see?

💳 MERCHANT FEES 💳

Yep, those charges on every single one of your sales are a write-off...

So, why do I see them get missed so often?!

If you aren't accurately recording them in your books (and sometimes integrations make this tricky), your tax accountant can't magically know to deduct them.

3% might sound small, but that's nearly $3k you could write off on $100k in sales!

If you’re an e-commerce biz who's tired of leaving money on the table (or forgetting it even existed), I can help you track every last cent.

📣 REMINDER: Your Q3 2025 estimated tax payment is due today, September 15th.

Got it, got it, but how *exactly* do you pay?!

✔️ IRS Direct Pay (irs.gov/payments) - This is my preferred method; it's super easy!

✔️ IRS Online Account

✔️ EFTPS

✔️ Paying by check – Just make sure it’s mailed and postmarked by today

If you aren't totally sure how much you need to pay to avoid penalties + interest, ask your tax accountant what your safe harbor payment amount is! 💸

A little love note to the e-commerce clients who do these things:

→ Answer my questions about their transactions in 3 days.

→ Have a separate business credit card that they use for ONLY business expenses.

→ Refer me to other e-commerce who need a bookkeeper! 🫶

You know who you are, and just know I do a little happy dance whenever I open up your QBO or Xero file! 🤭

When it comes to banking for e-commerce, my top choices are Relay for financial clarity, expense management, high-yield/low investment savings or BlueVine for simplicity. And neither has fees!

Relay => Let me know if you'd like help setting up and ask if there are any bonuses for new accounts

Bluevine => https://app.bluevine.com/signup/checking?pid_login=5002541&slug=5eeccac0b9f74b0e90b749af68246e80

Whichever bank you go with, make sure you're looking into things like:

→ Any set-up, annual, or monthly fees

→ Ease of online access

→ How it integrates with your bookkeeping software

A separate business account is a non-negotiable, but there are more options out there than just your dad's old bank!🏦
