For many small business owners, bookkeeping feels like something that has to be done for taxes.

But your books should do much more than help prepare a tax return.

Good financial records should help you understand:

• Where your money is going
• Which areas of the business are actually profitable
• Whether expenses are getting out of control
• How much cash the business needs
• Whether your pricing is working
• What you can afford to pay yourself
• Where you may need to make changes

If you only look at your financial statements once a year at tax time, you're missing much of their value.

Your books shouldn't just record what already happened.

**They should help you decide what happens next.**

More revenue doesn’t always mean a healthier business.

It’s easy to focus on the top-line number — how much the business brought in. But revenue is only one piece of the picture.

A business can increase sales and still struggle with cash flow, shrinking margins, rising expenses, or not generating enough profit to adequately compensate the owner.

The better questions are:

• How much of that revenue are you actually keeping?
• Are your expenses growing faster than your sales?
• Is your pricing covering your true costs?
• Is the business generating enough cash to support its needs?
• Is the business providing the return you expected for the time and risk you’ve invested?

Good financial information should help you answer those questions — not just tell you how much you sold.

**Revenue tells you how much came in. Profit tells you more of the story.**

Tax preparation and tax planning are not the same thing.

Tax preparation looks backward. By the time we prepare the return, most of the decisions that affected it have already been made.

Tax planning looks forward.

For business owners, that means looking at your business and personal tax situation while there is still time to make decisions—not waiting until tax season to find out what happened.

I believe accounting should be about more than filing forms and meeting deadlines. It should help you understand your numbers, plan ahead and make better decisions.

That’s an area of my practice you’ll be hearing a lot more about.
