Engage with your money Everyday

The best way to stay on top of your finances is to engage with your money every day. This doesn’t mean that you have to sit down and do your bookkeeping every day, but it does mean that you should take some time to check in on your bank account, review your budget, and make sure everything is on track.

One of the best ways to stay organized and on top of your finances is to schedule time for your bookkeeping. Set aside 15 minutes each day to review your bank account, track your spending, and update your budget. This may seem like a lot of time, but it’s worth it!

  • Use a budgeting app or software.
  • Organize your receipts at the end of every day.
  • Set aside a regular time to do your bookkeeping.
  • Review your budget every month.

These are just a few tips to help you get started with scheduling time for your bookkeeping. What works for you may be different, but the important thing is to find a system that works and stick with it.

Organize your Receipts

Here are some ways you can keep track:

  • Scan your receipts
  • Take a picture of your receipts and store them in Google Drive Folder
  • Expensify app to photograph and store receipts

I know it’s a pain to do your books every day but try and get on top of that at least once per week. Whether you use paper tracking sheets, a spreadsheet or some digital accounting software make sure the process is regular and consistent in order for things like taxes etc., which won’t hinder any progress!

Why?

The more you do it, the easier and quicker this process becomes. You won’t even notice how quickly your books are done in under 15 minutes per day! This means you never fall behind get overwhelm and stress out how long will take if you wait to end the month or the end of the year.

Set up a recurring appointment on your calendar to do books. Block out this time! Do not give it up for anything or anyone. Treat like any other meeting that you can’t miss. Your business finances are that important.

Review Your Budget Every Month

Budgets are always in a state of change because they’re based on what you spend and earn. But reviewing your budget every month keeps it real- if there’s been an unexpected expense or gain that’ll affect how much money goes into savings each week!

The more closely you think about your budget, the better. Your business finances are important and need to be looked after with care if they’re going to help make or break your company!
