Two businesses can earn the same revenue and have completely different financial outcomes.

That's because revenue alone doesn't determine the financial health of a business. Cash flow does.

Cash-rich business:
- Knows its numbers
- Plans ahead
- Monitors cash flow
- Makes data driven decisions

Cash-poor business:
- Delays important decisions
- Doesn't review financial reports
- Falls behind on bookkeeping
- Doesn't know where the money is going

Balances in accounts like Uncategorised Income, Uncategorised Expense or Uncategorised Asset usually mean there's a transaction that needs your attention.

Here's what to do:

- Run the Account Transactions report for the uncategorised account.

- Review each transaction to identify the correct customer, supplier or bank activity.

- Recode the transaction to the correct income, expense, asset, liability or equity account.

- Reconcile your bank account and review your financial reports to make sure everything is accurate.

These issues are more common than you think, and they can affect your Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet and the accuracy of your tax return.

That's why it's important to review and clean up your books regularly.
