💰 What is the best use of your time?

Money Myths

Financial Clarity Starts Here.


When your finances are complex, it’s overwhelming trying to take the first step.

Especially when the first step requires learning a foreign language like accounting.

Anything sounds better…

✅ laundry

✅ cooking

✅ scrolling social media

What’s required is diving head first into the problem.

But here’s the thing…

The best use of your time is not bookkeeping.

It’s growing your business.

Aligning your team.

Things that actually bring in money.

That points to one logical solution.

Bring in help to simplify and organize your finances.

Organizing your finances is pretty simple - this is really all I do for the client:

  1. weekly bookkeeping
  2. weekly cash planning
  3. monthly financial report walkthrough tied to forecast and tax estimate

It becomes a short story walking through past, present, and future.

A complete financial story starts with designing your financial reports in a way that allows you to see the story.

And so you can stay focused on your goals, I’m doing 3 free bookkeeping audits in December. You can sign up below.

Action Items:

  1. Determine your highest ROI activity in your business.
  2. Eliminate your hurdles for completing your bookkeeping.
  3. Get help with organizing your finances.

Money myth of the week 🤐

Bookkeepers are only needed during tax time.

Completing a year worth of bookkeeping at one time is time consuming, expensive, and not beneficial.

The benefit of consistent bookkeeping is the ability to rely on your financial statements to drive the business.

It’s breaking free from using your checking account as your accounting method, and always wondering why you owe a ton of tax and have no cash to show for it.
