Organize your Income documents.

In a filing cabinet, make separate folders for different kinds of Income documents:

• Work In Progress folders by Client (like Estimates, unfilled Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, etc)
• Invoices Waiting on Payment
• Paid Invoices by Client (sort into folders in alphabetical order)
• Investment Income records
• Passive Income records (like Rental Income, keep separate)

Organize your receipts, bills, etc. on a daily basis, preferably by vendor and expense type. It will save you time at the end of the year when you file your taxes.

Make folders for your documents:

Vendors A

Vendors B

Vendors C…

Home office expenses

Medical and healthcare

——————————

Mortgage record  (permanent asset file)

Vehicle record  (permanent asset file)

Reconcile.

The best way to know that all transactions and account balances are correct is to reconcile ALL accounts when you receive the statements.  This will help you catch any mistakes and keep you from over/understating your income and expenses.

Separate your business account and personal account

Pay yourself regularly. Either with Owner’s Draw, Shareholder’s Distribution or a Paycheck.

Spend the money in your personal account ONLY for personal use.

Spend the money in your business account ONLY for business use.

If you invest money in the business, transfer money from personal account to business account.

It helps you keep track of how your business is doing as well as prepare for your tax returns and the end of the year.
