Starting with a computerized accounting program is an exciting step, but before you can issue invoices or write checks, you’ll need to set up a company file. This involves entering accurate customer and vendor balances, compiling a complete list of products and services, and recording all essential financial account balances. It may feel complex at first—and it is—but once your system is properly established, the rewards are significant. You’ll gain efficiency, the ability to monitor and improve your financial health, and the flexibility to expand into services like payroll and credit card processing.
Keep everything. Retain all business-related invoices, bills, bank statements, receipts, and government assessments. If you aren’t sure if a document matters, save it anyway and verify with your accountant later.
Pro Tip: Use a “Date Received” stamp for every incoming physical document to create a clear audit trail.
Avoid the year-end scramble by filing documents as they arrive. Use labeled folders to keep your records organized and easy to find.
Categorize: Create dedicated files for bank statements, customer invoices, vendor bills, and tax assessments.
Color-Code: Use different colored folders to make retrieving documents faster.
Prioritize: Maintain a “Pending” folder for outstanding invoices or items that require immediate follow-up.
Assess your transaction volume, business complexity, and budget to determine the best support model for your needs:
Self-Managed: Best for low-volume, simple businesses.
Bookkeeper: Hire a part-time or full-time professional to manage daily entries.
Outsourced: Use a third-party firm to handle your back-office functions.
Regardless of your choice, consult a professional accountant to set up your system, handle year-end tax prep, and provide high-level financial analysis.
Your staffing choice will dictate your software needs. If you are managing the books yourself, prioritize user-friendly platforms with free trials.
Recommendations: Platforms like MYOB are excellent for freelancers and small businesses.
Budget Options: Free software exists but often lacks the advanced features needed for growth.
Accuracy depends on consistency. Enter invoices, bills, deposits, and checks into your system as they happen.
Monthly Reconciliations: Compare your software records against your bank statements every month to catch errors early.
Advanced Adjustments: While an accountant can handle complex entries (like depreciation or accruals) at year-end, recording them monthly provides a truer picture of your finances.
Use your accounting software to generate and review key reports.
Operational Reports: Monitor Accounts Receivable (who owes you) and Accounts Payable (who you owe).
Financial Statements: Review your Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet monthly.
Strategic Analysis: Use these reports to identify ways to boost sales, cut unnecessary costs, and ensure you are meeting loan requirements.
