bookkeeping basics

do you have a clear picture of where your money is going?

In the simplest terms, bookkeeping is the process of recording all of your business's financial transactions.

EXPENSES: Signing up for a mastermind, attending a conference, canva templates, ink pens, management software, storage space, tax preparation, business license, etc.

REVENUE: Product/service income (with/without an invoice), discount given, interest earned, owner investment, angel investor, grants, loan proceeds, early payment adjustments

LIABILITIES: Credit card purchases (not just payment to credit card), principal payments, interest payments, loan amounts, processing fees, bank charges, late fees

Record Everything

keep business money and personal separate.
