Avoid These Common Pitfalls to Keep Your Finances on Track

Bookkeeping is a critical part of running a business, but it’s also an area where small mistakes can lead to big headaches. At Every Penny LLC, we help businesses stay on top of their finances and avoid these common errors:


  • Neglecting to Reconcile Accounts

    Reconciling your accounts regularly ensures that your financial records match your bank statements. Skipping this step can lead to inaccurate reporting and missed errors.


  • Mixing Personal and Business Finances

    Keeping your business and personal expenses separate is essential for accurate bookkeeping and tax preparation. Always use dedicated accounts for business transactions.


  • Not Using a Cloud-Based System

    Tools like QuickBooks Online streamline your bookkeeping, offering real-time insights and secure access to your financial data anytime, anywhere.


  • Failing to Track Receipts

    Proper documentation is key to maximizing tax deductions and staying compliant with regulations. Use digital tools to track and organize receipts effortlessly.


  • Waiting Until Tax Season to Organize Books

    Staying on top of your bookkeeping year-round saves time and stress during tax season, ensuring you’re always prepared.
