Break even is the point where your revenue covers your business costs. You’re not losing money, but you’re not making a profit yet either.

Knowing your break even point can help you:

- Set realistic revenue goals
- Price your services more confidently
- Understand how much you need to sell
- Plan for profit, not just revenue

Not sure what your numbers are telling you?

Reviewing your business expenses doesn’t have to mean combing through every single purchase with a fine-tooth comb. 👀

A simple monthly check-in can help you catch unnecessary spending, make sure your books are accurate, and get a much better understanding of where your money is actually going.

This week on **The Weekly Ledger**, we’re walking through what to review each month, plus how to do it in QuickBooks Online.

Because knowing where your money is going is the first step to making better decisions with it. 🤍

A good time to start forecasting for 2027 is late Q3 into early Q4, around August through October.

This gives you time to look at how 2026 is going, plan your cash flow, and set realistic goals and a budget before the new year.

Here are a few simple ways to better protect your business:

🌿 Reconcile your bank and credit card accounts every month.

🌿 Review your statements and financial reports for unfamiliar transactions or unusual changes.

🌿 Don’t ignore small “account verification” transactions. They may only be a few pennies, but if you weren’t expecting them, they can be a major red flag that someone is testing your account before attempting a larger transaction.

🌿 Avoid giving one person complete control over your finances. Separate responsibilities whenever possible.

🌿 Confirm vendor and employee payment details before sending money.

🌿 Watch for duplicate invoices and payments.

🌿 Use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication on your financial accounts. I personally use 1Password to securely manage mine.

A few small habits can make a big difference when it comes to protecting your business and catching problems early.

QuickBooks has been rolling out new AI features, so you may notice a few changes when reviewing your bank transactions. Here’s what to keep in mind:

🌿 Your transactions are not automatically added to your books. You still decide what gets accepted.

🌿 “Match” means the transaction is already recorded in QuickBooks, and you’re connecting it to the corresponding bank transaction.

🌿 “Categorize” means the transaction has not been recorded yet, and you’re telling QuickBooks where it belongs.

🌿 AI suggestions can save time, but they should always be reviewed before accepting them.

Think of the bank feed as a helpful assistant. It can make bookkeeping more efficient, but you’re still responsible for making the final decisions. Always review each transaction before adding it to your books.

September 15 will be here before we know it! A few important tax deadlines to keep on your radar:

🌿 The third estimated tax payment for 2026 is due for individuals who make quarterly estimated tax payments.

🌿 Extended 2025 tax returns are due for calendar-year partnerships and S corporations that filed for an extension.

Now is a great time to make sure your bookkeeping is current and your records are ready for your tax preparer.

A large bank balance can make it feel like your business has plenty of money to spend, but that number doesn’t tell the full story. 🌿

Some of that money may already be spoken for:

• Quarterly estimated tax payments
• Sales tax that still needs to be remitted
• Upcoming payroll
• Bills that haven’t been paid yet
• Credit card and loan payments

Without accurate, up-to-date bookkeeping, it’s easy to upgrade your software, hire too early, or make a large purchase, only to realize later that the money wasn’t truly available.

Your bank balance is just one number. Your financial reports show you what your business can actually afford.
