FACTUAL FRIDAY: Your bank balance isn't your profit.
Seeing money in your business bank account doesn't necessarily mean your business is profitable.
Your bank balance can be affected by things like:
→ Outstanding bills that haven't been paid yet
→ Customer invoices that haven't been collected
→ Loan proceeds or other financing
→ Owner contributions or withdrawals
→ Credit-card purchases that haven't cleared
That's why keeping your books current and reconciling your accounts regularly is so important.
Accurate bookkeeping gives you a clearer picture of what's really happening in your business—not just what's sitting in the bank.
Your bank balance tells you what's there. Your financial reports help tell you why.
At Mayne's Balanced Books, I help small-business owners keep their books organized and their financial information clear so that they can make better decisions for their business.
