Contractors: Are you actually making money on each job—or just moving money around?

One of the biggest problems I see with growing specialty contractors is a lack of real-time job costing.

When labor, materials, and subcontractor fees aren’t assigned to specific jobs in QuickBooks, you don’t know which projects are profitable until it’s too late. That year-end profit number shouldn’t be a surprise.

Take 10 minutes this week to check:

• Are subcontractor payments assigned to the right project or job tag?
• Are receipts being categorized as general expenses instead of project COGS?
• Is payroll labor properly allocated across active job sites?

Clean job costing gives you the information you need to price smarter, catch overruns early, and protect your margins.

If your job costs look scattered or your QuickBooks Online feeds aren’t balancing, leave a comment or send me a message. I’m happy to point you in the right direction.

Your inbox has become a front line for business fraud.

One compromised email account can expose payroll records, banking information, client data, and vendor payments. A few basic safeguards can make your business much harder to target:

• Turn on two-step verification for every account. Use a passkey or physical security key when possible, and keep your recovery methods current.
• Use a unique password for each account, and never share business email credentials.
• Regularly review connected apps and signed-in devices. Remove anything you don’t recognize or no longer use.
• Send sensitive documents through a secure client portal—not email.
• Verify unexpected financial requests by phone, especially changes to direct deposits, vendor banking details, or payment instructions.

Cybercriminals often rely on urgency. Slow down, verify the request, and protect access to your most sensitive information.

Why are self-employed accountants and bookkeepers increasingly targeted by cybercriminals?

It’s simple: they manage exactly what attackers want—financial records, payroll information, tax documents, bank details, and client credentials.

Many independent professionals also work without dedicated IT support. That can mean weaker security, reused passwords, outdated software, and fewer safeguards against phishing or ransomware. One compromised account may give an attacker access to dozens of businesses.

If you’re self-employed in accounting or bookkeeping, cybersecurity isn’t just an IT concern. It’s part of protecting your clients—and your reputation.

Start with the basics: enable multi-factor authentication, use a password manager, install updates promptly, back up critical data, and verify unusual payment or document requests through a separate channel.

What cybersecurity measure has made the biggest difference in your business?

Are your income and expenses telling the truth in QuickBooks Online?

Duplicate transactions, incorrect bank-feed matches, and miscategorized transfers can quietly inflate your numbers—and leave you making decisions based on reports that aren’t accurate.

A few habits can help:

• Review bank-feed matches before accepting them
• Reconcile every account each month
• Record transfers correctly instead of treating them as income or expenses
• Check for duplicate transactions
• Review your Profit and Loss report regularly

Clean books lead to clearer decisions, fewer surprises, and a much easier tax season.

🩺 **SPECIALTY MEDICAL PRACTICE TIP: Revenue Is Important — But Do You Know What Your Practice Is Actually Keeping?**

A busy schedule doesn't automatically mean a profitable practice.

If you're using **QuickBooks Online**, your financial reports should help you understand more than how much money came into the bank.

Your practice should be able to answer questions like:

💰 What is our monthly operating profit?
💰 How much are we spending on clinical supplies?
💰 What does payroll cost as a percentage of revenue?
💰 How much are merchant and processing fees costing us?
💰 What are we spending on medical equipment and maintenance?
💰 Which services or departments are generating revenue?
💰 Are overhead expenses increasing faster than revenue?

**QUICKBOOKS TIP:** Your Chart of Accounts matters.

Instead of putting everything into broad categories such as "Medical Expenses" or "Office Expenses," create meaningful accounts that allow management to understand where the practice's money is actually going.

Good bookkeeping shouldn't just prepare you for tax season.

**It should help you run a better practice.**

At **Bookkeeping by Andrea, LLC.**, we provide virtual bookkeeping, accounting and business services designed to help business owners understand their numbers.

📊 **SMALL BUSINESS OWNER TIP: Q3 IS YOUR MID-YEAR FINANCIAL CHECKUP**

We're moving into the **third quarter of the year**, which means there's still plenty of time to make adjustments before year-end.

Don't wait until December—or tax season—to find out how your business performed.

Now is a great time to ask:

💰 **Are you actually profitable?**
Review your year-to-date Profit & Loss. Revenue may be increasing, but are expenses increasing even faster?

🏦 **How is your cash flow?**
Profit on paper doesn't always mean cash in the bank. Look at what's coming in, what's going out and what's coming due.

🧾 **Who owes you money?**
Review Accounts Receivable and follow up on overdue invoices. Don't let unpaid invoices quietly become 60-, 90- or 120-day balances.

💳 **Are your accounts reconciled?**
Bank accounts, credit cards and loans should be reconciled regularly—not saved for year-end cleanup.

📈 **Are you on track with your goals?**
Compare your actual results to your budget or the goals you established at the beginning of the year.

💵 **Are you prepared for taxes?**
Talk with your tax professional about estimated taxes and whether your year-to-date results require adjustments.

📁 **Are your books clean?**
Uncategorized transactions, duplicate entries, old outstanding checks and incorrect balances become much harder to fix when you wait.

**Q3 gives you something valuable: TIME.**

Time to correct problems.
Time to improve cash flow.
Time to collect outstanding invoices.
Time to control expenses.
Time to make better decisions before December 31.

At **Bookkeeping by Andrea, LLC.**, we provide virtual accounting, bookkeeping and business services to help small business owners stay organized throughout the year.
