Quick question for my friends who wear glasses (or contact lenses) -

๐—›๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฑ ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ด๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜€? ๐Ÿค“

Myself, I started wearing glasses when I was 40

And how many pairs of glasses (and updated prescriptions) have you had since then?

Probably quite a few, right?

And Iโ€™ll bet if today you tried to put on your first pair of glasses, theyโ€™d be -

๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ Blurry

๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ Uncomfortable

๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ And unfashionable ๐Ÿ˜‚

Makes sense, right? Our bodies are always growing and changing (just like our teeth, hence regular cleanings) โ€“ so our glasses need to be regularly updated to give us the clearest vision possible, right?

Well - the bookkeeping in your business works the same way ๐Ÿ’ฐ

And when your finances arenโ€™t updated, everything in your business starts to get blurry, just like an out-of-date pair of glasses:

โ“ You run right into avoidable obstacles, like walls or potholes โ€ฆ or unnecessary late fees and interest charges

โ“ And your monthly expenses arenโ€™t in focus โ€“ so you end up staying subscribed to recurring expenses you forgot about

However, when your finances are up to date and โ€œin focusโ€, everything becomes clear:

๐Ÿ‘€ Itโ€™s easy to see which of your revenue streams are the most profitable

๐Ÿ‘€ And you can see slow seasons coming long before they arrive โ€“ and save up beforehand

Just think of your bookkeeping as the โ€œfinancial glassesโ€ for your business ๐Ÿค“

The more up-to-date your business finances and bookkeeping are

The more clearly youโ€™ll be able to see your business โ€“ and operate it smoothly and profitably ๐Ÿ’ฐ

However โ€ฆ maybe your business finances are months (or years) โ€œout of focusโ€ right now

And you know you need some serious help โ€œupdating your prescriptionโ€ so you can start seeing your business (and some profits) again

If that sounds like you โ€“ then just reach out โค๏ธ

I help my clients get caught up - and maintain 20/20 vision of their finances โ€“ every single day.

And Iโ€™d love to help you do the same!

๐ŸŒณ You wouldnโ€™t hire an environmental lawyer to handle your divorce, right? ๐Ÿ˜œ

Why not?

After all โ€“ that environmental lawyer is still a lawyer, right? Isnโ€™t that enough? ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

But just because someone is โ€œa lawyerโ€ doesnโ€™t mean that theyโ€™re the RIGHT lawyer for what you need.

Itโ€™s the same in your business โ€“ not every bookkeeper is the *right* bookkeeper for your business

Because every business has different needs:

๐Ÿข A business that sells hundreds of items on Amazon needs a bookkeeper who knows how to use A2X

๐Ÿข And a law firm needs a bookkeeper that knows how to handle IOLTA accounts

See what I mean?

And itโ€™s the same with me โค๏ธ

Iโ€™m not *just* a bookkeeper โ€“ Iโ€˜m an expert when it comes to helping dental practice owners

๐Ÿค“ I started working in a dental office when I was 18 (letโ€™s just say that was a couple decades ago ๐Ÿ˜‰) wanting to become a hygienist. I quickly realized I had a passion for the business side and went to college to graduate top of my class with a BA in Accounting. I have now worked with over 100 dentists helping them build a profitable practice.

๐Ÿค“ 90% of my clients are dentists and I love serving them, such a great bunch of people! As an expert in the dental industry, I know what needs to be assessed for financial performance and the practice's financial position with ratio analysis. I have mastered financial statements for dentists.

๐Ÿค“ Recently, I helped a dental practice owner that the previous bookkeeper did not have dental expertise. They did not have industry benchmarking to know where they stand with other dental practice owners. I advised that compared to other dentists, it appeared that they were overpaying salaries by about 50k a year. I produced easy-to-read P&L and know exactly where they are with each category. Example: Income, knowing where the most revenue stream is coming from helps to focus on what is profitable. Also, having profit and loss of hygienists and/or associate doctors. I have become an expert at KPI reports for dental practice owners setting targets for 90 days, 180 days, & 1 year.

Moral of the story?

Donโ€™t hire an environmental lawyer ๐ŸŒณ to handle your divorce

Or the wrong bookkeeper for your business ๐Ÿ˜œ

So if I sound like the *right* bookkeeper that can help you with your businessโ€™ unique needs โ€“ then just reach out โค๏ธ

I LOVE using my expertise to help solve my clientsโ€™ problems in the best possible way

And Iโ€™d love to be your perfect โ€œdivorce attorneyโ€, too ๐Ÿ˜œdentist

Thinking about applying for a small business loan from a bank โ€“ but donโ€™t know where to start?Then this post is for you ...

Thinking about applying for a small business loan from a bank โ€“ but donโ€™t know where to start?

Then this post is for you ๐Ÿ‘‡

Here are three ways to start preparing for applying for a loan:

(๐Ÿญ) ๐—ž๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ

First, letโ€™s figure out if a bank will even consider giving you a loan:

โ“ How long have you been in business? (Most banks only give loans after 2 years in business)

โ“ Whatโ€™s your credit score? (Business AND personal)

โ“ Whatโ€™s your annual revenue (and profit)?

โ“ โ€œDo you have any collateral?โ€ (Like real estate or investments; not always necessary, but helpful)

(Don't think you'll qualify? No worries - there are other financing options, too, like microloans and lines of credit)

(๐Ÿฎ) ๐—ž๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜

๐Ÿ’ฐ How much money do you need to borrow?

๐Ÿ’ฐ What do you want to do with this money? (Providing a business plan always looks good to banks!)

(๐Ÿฏ) ๐—š๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜‚๐—ฝ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ผ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€

Every bank has their own (slightly) different list of required documents and information โ€“ however, you can get a head start by collecting the following

โœ… Business documents (tax ID number, licenses, etc.)

โœ… Credit scores (personal and business)

โœ… Tax returns (personal and business)

โœ… Bank statements

โœ… Financial statements (made from up-to-date bookkeeping)

Once you do those three things, you should have a healthy head start on your loan application process, no matter which bank you approach!

And if you want do more reading on how to get prepared, I added a helpful blog in the comments below ๐Ÿ‘‡

And, of course, if you need some help getting your finances together (and updating your bookkeeping!) before approaching a bank, then just reach out โค๏ธ

I help my clients get prepared for loans and financing all the time. And Iโ€™d love to help you, too!

Nothingโ€™s more irritating than that never-ending stream of Facebook ads for crash diet plans and products, right? ๐Ÿคฎ

Especially right after New Yearโ€™s โ€ฆ or right before summer vacation:

๐Ÿ‘™ โ€œ๐˜“๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ 20 ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ด ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ 2 ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฌ๐˜ด!โ€

๐Ÿ‘™ โ€œ๐˜”๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ณ๐˜ถ๐˜จ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ต๐˜ด ๐˜ง๐˜ข๐˜ต โ€“ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ด ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ!โ€

๐Ÿ‘™ โ€œ๐˜Ž๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฉ-๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜บ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜บ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฉ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ต ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ!โ€

But when I was looking at those awful ads โ€ฆ I realized thatโ€™s exactly what businesses do with their finances every year ๐Ÿ™ˆ

They procrastinate on managing their finances in a healthy way โ€“ then end up trying to โ€œcrash dietโ€ just before tax time.

But instead of fighting against pounds โ€“ youโ€™re fighting against hours:

โฐ Research shows that the average small business spends 15 hours a week on financial admin tasks (like bookkeeping)

โฐ That's 60 hours (!) every month

โฐ And 720 hours (!!) every year

โฐ ๐—™๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฎ ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฌ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐——๐—”๐—ฌ๐—ฆ

๐Ÿ˜ณ ๐Ÿ˜ณ ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Can you *really* take off the whole month of March to โ€œcrash dietโ€ your finances before the tax deadline?

BUT - ! If you (or your bookkeeper ๐Ÿ˜‰) keep up with healthy monthly bookkeeping habits, tax time be less stressful โ€“ and youโ€™ll enjoy perks all year, like:

๐Ÿฅ— Jumping on new business opportunities faster

๐Ÿฅ— Stop paying unnecessary late fees

๐Ÿฅ— Creating more profitable business strategies from actual data with benchmarking and KPI

Just like healthy ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ leads to daily lifestyle perks like better sleep, more energy, and a clearer head ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Itโ€™s the same with your ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐Ÿ’ฐ

So if youโ€™re sick of crash-dieting your finances in a panic at tax time

(And want a piece of those sweet benefits that come with healthy monthly bookkeeping)

Then just reach out โค๏ธ

I help each of my clients enjoy easy and healthy financial management all year round - and Iโ€™d love to help you do the same!

05/31/2022

When youโ€™re talking to a new potential patient โ€“ how do you communicate to them that you are *the best* choice to help them with their problem?

๐ŸŽ“ Maybe you tell them about a college degree or specific certification youโ€™ve earned

๐Ÿ“† Probably mention how many years of experience you have

๐Ÿ“™ It definitely doesnโ€™t hurt to share some of the results youโ€™ve achieved for other patients

๐Ÿ˜ And, of course, a raving testimonial or 2 from previous patients

Thatโ€™s what you share with them โ€“ because you know thatโ€™s what YOU look for when youโ€™re hiring someone new

You wanna know that someone has earned their stripes ๐Ÿ… and REALLY know what theyโ€™re doing ๐Ÿง  before you hire them

After all, you wouldnโ€™t trust your business financials to Chad the high school intern at your accountantโ€™s office, right? ๐Ÿ˜œ

If someoneโ€™s going to help you manage your hard-earned money and help you prepare for your taxes, you want them to be *the best*

And if youโ€™re looking for someone like that to help you with your business bookkeeping and finances โ€ฆ letโ€™s just say that Iโ€™ve earned a few stripes ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐ŸŽ“ I graduated top of my class earning my BA in Accounting. I am also a certified LivePlan Expert Advisor, QBO ProAdvisor, and CFO Advisor.

๐Ÿ“† I have over 20 yearsโ€™ experience working as a Controller and CFO for a wide variety of corporations. I started my dental career right after high school wanting to become a hygienist and quickly realized I had a passion for the business side and went to college.

๐Ÿ“™ Recently I helped a client catch up on a 3-year backlog before the tax due date and cut in half the amount they owed at tax time, thanks to finding extra tax deductible expenses they missed

๐Ÿ˜ And you donโ€™t just have to take my word for it โ€“ hereโ€™s a testimonial from one of my clients:

โ€œMy biggest challenge was staying organized and up to date. I had been using old school QuickBooks Desktop for years and doing my own books. As Randi can attest, I had things placed in incorrect categories, was several months behind in balancing my statements, and just really had no idea of my profitability. Randi's team is a lifesaver! They save me so much time and give me peace of mind. Do yourself a favor and sign up with BAS4Dental now! I wish I had done it sooner.โ€

And thatโ€™s exactly the kind of expert help (and results) that Iโ€™d love to give you and your business, too

So when youโ€™re ready to receive *the best* financial help for your business โ€“ just like you provide *the best* level of service for your patients โ€“ then just reach out ๐Ÿ’ฐ

I canโ€™t wait to help!

How many times have you heard this story? ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿฉบ Person A goes to the doctor for a routine exam.

๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿฝโ€โš•๏ธ Doctor notices a discolored mole.

๐Ÿงช Doctor runs an extra test and BOOM โ€“ turns out Person A has skin cancer.

๐Ÿ’Š BUT, since they caught it early, Person A is gonna be fine

All because of a routine check-up - !

Itโ€™s a good lesson. And it applies to the financial health of your business, too. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Letโ€™s go back to the doctorโ€™s exam. That visit is a snapshot, evaluating your health from multiple data points, like:

๐Ÿ“Š Blood sugar tests

๐Ÿ“Š Weight measurements

๐Ÿ“Š And habits (like smoking)

Thatโ€™s what a ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜ is for your business โ€“ a snapshot of your financial health, pulled from multiple data points. It measures:

๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—”๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€ (what you OWN) like:

โœ… Equipment

โœ… Investments

โœ… Cash

๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—Ÿ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€ (what you OWE) like:

โŒ Bank loans

โŒ Credit card debt

โŒ Unpaid bills

And adds it all together to show ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฒ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† (your business worth)

And answer the question:

๐Ÿค” โ€œIs my business healthy? โ€ฆ Or in trouble, and in need of some changes?โ€

Remember how that routine doctor visit caught the skin cancer early?

In the same way, running quarterly balance sheets can help you catch small financial problems โ€ฆ before they become BIG bankruptcy-sized problems - !

And if you wanna learn more about balance sheets and how to create them, I shared a helpful blog below ๐Ÿ‘‡

Whatโ€™s the chore you ๐™ƒ๐˜ผ๐™๐™€ the most?

Laundry? ๐Ÿงบ Dish-washing? ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Taking out the trash?

For me, itโ€™s DEFINITELY cleaning my floors!! ๐Ÿงน

Now other chores, like cleaning the kitchen or laundry

Those arenโ€™t so bad

(In fact, I kinda like how warm the clothes are when they come out of the dryer or catching up on phone calls with friends while Iโ€™m cleaning the kitchen after dinner)

But cleaning my floors??

Iโ€™d rather stick a fork in my eye ๐Ÿด

But, unfortunately, someoneโ€™s gotta do it โ€“ or else my entire house is nasty and black dirty bottom feet, right?

Itโ€™s the same thing in our businesses

Just like in our personal lives, we have business โ€œchoresโ€, like:

๐Ÿ“ฑ Writing posts for social media

๐Ÿ’ธ Paying your vendorsโ€™ bills on time

๐Ÿ“ง Replying to client emails

(Personally my LEAST favorite โ€œbusiness choreโ€ is writing posts for social mediaโ€ฆ)

But for you โ€“ that business chore you HATE the most might be bookkeeping

And maybe - just like me and cleaning my floors - youโ€™d rather stick a fork in your eye ๐Ÿด than open QuickBooks or reconcile your bank statements

But still, ya gotta get it done โ€“ or youโ€™ll end up with some nasty financial consequences ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Consequences that are the financial equivalent of an overflowing garbage can ๐Ÿคข

Consequences like:

๐Ÿคข Paying unnecessary fees for overdrafts and late payments, or

๐Ÿคข Missing out on opportunities โ€“ because you needed to update your (way outdated) finances before you could get that crucial loan

But hereโ€™s the good news:

๐™”๐™ค๐™ช ๐™™๐™ค๐™ฃ'๐™ฉ ๐™๐™–๐™ซ๐™š ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐™—๐™š ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™š ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐™™๐™ค ๐™ž๐™ฉ

Remember that chore I hate?

Sometimes I get my housecleaner to do it for me ๐Ÿ˜œ

I donโ€™t need to be the one who cleaning the floors

All that matters is that SOMEONE does it (and does it well)

So -

If bookkeeping for your business makes you want to stick a fork in your eye ๐Ÿด

Then just reach out โค๏ธ

This happens to be my all-time favorite โ€œbusiness choreโ€ ๐Ÿค“

And Iโ€™d love to help you can get back to the work you actually *like* to do ๐Ÿ˜‰

Picture a lake ๐ŸŒŠ A big beautiful mountain lake ๐Ÿ”๏ธ

This particular lake stays full because 3 rivers flow into it

Now - how do you measure which river fills the lake the most?

๐—˜๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜† - ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ป ๐—ฎ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ต ๐—ณ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜! ๐Ÿค‘

OK, OK, so maybe that technique doesnโ€™t work for mountain lake water-flow ๐Ÿ’ง

But it DOES work for your business cash-flow ๐Ÿ’ต

And, just like that mountain lake, your business has 3 โ€œriversโ€ of money flowing in:

๐ŸŒŠ ๐—ฅ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐Ÿญ: ๐—ข๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด

This is the money you make from selling your products and services

๐ŸŒŠ ๐—ฅ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐Ÿฎ: ๐—œ๐—ป๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€

This is the money your company makes from purchasing equipment or investing in other companies

๐ŸŒŠ ๐—ฅ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐Ÿฏ: ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด

This is the cash you earn (and spend) in the course of financing your company (loans, lines of credit, ownerโ€™s equity)

All of these โ€œriversโ€ help keep the lake full so you can do things like pay your payroll

However itโ€™s REALLY important to know which river is contributing the most money to your business

Hereโ€™s why:

๐Ÿ’ต Going through a slow season? A cash flow report can tell you if you need extra cash from the โ€œFinancing Riverโ€

๐Ÿ’ต Before giving you a loan, a bank wants proof that your โ€œOperating Riverโ€ is the main source of your cash flow

๐Ÿ’ต Want to make (profitable) long-term plans? This is the report you need for future cash flow projections

Of course, a single social media post isnโ€™t enough to cover everything ๐Ÿ˜œ so I shared a helpful article below ๐Ÿ‘‡

And, of course, if you feel like you need more reports like this in your life โ€“ but donโ€™t know how to create one โ€“ then just reach out โค๏ธ

I create financial reports like these all. the. time. for my clients. And Iโ€™d love to help you, too!

05/12/2022

When it comes to your business financials, are you an African grey parrot? ๐Ÿฆœ

Or a headless chicken? ๐Ÿ“

Yes, itโ€™s a silly question ๐Ÿ˜‰ but an important one

It's easy (and common) to back-burner your finances after tax season

But without up-to-date bookkeeping data put in every month, your business financials are as dumb as a headless bird ๐Ÿ“

Hereโ€™s what your business looks like as a โ€œheadless chickenโ€, without monthly bookkeeping:

๐Ÿ“ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜†๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€ because your invoicing is inconsistent

๐Ÿ“ ๐—จ๐—ป๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐˜† ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜€ who get paid late โ€“ and wonโ€™t be flexible if you wanna negotiate terms later

๐Ÿ“ ๐— ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€ because, when a buyer for your company came knocking, your finances were out-of-date

๐Ÿ“ ๐—š๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€ to questions like โ€œCan I afford to hire another employee?" and getting it wrong

๐Ÿ“ ๐—›๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜€ because youโ€™re paying avoidable fees like overdraft and late fees

Meanwhile, hereโ€™s what your business looks like as an African grey parrot (one of the smartest birds around) when you DO keep up with monthly bookkeeping:

๐Ÿฆœ Better cash flow (and profit margin!)

๐Ÿฆœ Data-based strategies, not guesses

๐Ÿฆœ Ready to jump on every opportunity

And โ€“ BONUS โ€“ none of the โ€œcrash dietโ€ stress that comes with catching up your finances at the last minute for tax season! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Did you know that Profit + Loss reports are important for your business *every* month of the year โ€“ not just for taxes in April? ๐Ÿค”

Here's 5 reasons why a Profit + Loss report is useful year-round ๐Ÿ‘‡

(๐Ÿญ) ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฝ

Need to apply for a business loan? The bank will ask for it!

(๐Ÿฎ) ๐—ฃ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฆ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€

When you use previous P+L reports to compare years side by side, you can spot patterns. If summer is always your most profitable season, set aside a portion to cover for your slower months in the fall.

(๐Ÿฏ) ๐—•๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—•๐—ถ๐—ด ๐—˜๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜€

Irregular bills, like annual accountant bills, are easy to forget. When you check last yearโ€™s P+L report, youโ€™ll remember the "irregulars" and be able to budget for them.

(๐Ÿฐ) ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†

Which of your businessโ€™ revenue streams is the most profitable? Do you have any expenses that can be eliminated? This report helps you spot those patterns

(๐Ÿฑ) ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—•๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€
