Common Mistakes a Bookkeeping Service Can Save You From Making

First mistake: trying to do it yourself. If you’re not a trained bookkeeper, accountant or tax preparer, stick to what you know: your business. Leave the bookkeeping to professionals who went to school to study the art and have been doing it for years.

Are you mixing your personal and business finances? That’s a problem. It’s difficult to be sure where your income and expenses are coming from. Mixing finances can mean you miss out lucrative deductions. Our Whittier, Los Angeles based bookkeeping service will keep your business finances separate for you.

Do you reconcile your bank statements every month? Neglecting to reconcile may be costing you money, but you won’t know that until your accounts are reconciled. The bank may even have made an error against you! How will you find out? Let a professional reconcile your backed up bank and credit card statements.

Failing to track reimbursable expenses can cost you big time in lost deductions. Not having a paper backup of your financial information can and will create problems for your business. While keeping track of your accounts online is good practice, always print out your records, too, and keep your receipts. A bookkeeping service will organize all of this mess for you and print out informative reports.

What a Bookkeeping Service Can Tell You:

  • Where is your money coming from?
  • Where is your money going?
  • Are you making a profit, or losing money?
  • What does your business future look like?
  • What might trigger an IRS audit of your business?

Back Taxes / Messy Books

If the IRS audits your business, you must have the financial documents they need to do so.

If you miss IRS filing deadlines, you may be fined, or an audit may be initiated.

Without investing in a professional to help catch up on your back taxes, you may not create your financial documents in the way the IRS expects you to, triggering an audit. This is a problem professionals can help you avoid.
