Go PaperlessIf you’re still printing and mailing invoices to your clients, take a moment to add up how much you’re spending on paper, envelopes, and postage. And then how much you’re spending to send payment reminders and late notices. And then how many trees have had to die so you could run your business. Going paperless is better for everyone.

Use Technology

Reducing the likelihood for human error in your bookkeeping is one of the best ways to ensure that your records stay accurate.

Find A Good Adviser

The first thing you will need to learn as a business owner and mother is simple: you have to ask for help.

Keep Impeccable Records

Keeping good records isn’t enough when running a small business. Your records must be impeccable.

Use a time clock to log employees in and out

Overtime is expensive and accurate timekeeping can help to keep those costs down.

Always Check!

If you do not use an automated accounting software program, then there is a chance you will not balanced at the end of every period.

Keep It Separated

Too many business owners mix and mingle their personal and professional finances.Set up separate checking accounts and if you need some funds from your small business, write yourself a check, or make a cash withdrawal.

Review your charges monthly and ask for lower rates

You always have the ability to go elsewhere if the rates are better. Also, some credit cards try to take the discounts when the charges are submitted.

Buy Accounting Software

Using a spreadsheet program to keep track of your business finances is a step above that, but it’s still not your best option. You need to take out the corporate checkbook and buy some accounting software.

Hire A Pro If You Need One

Yes, it will cost you. But just think how much a horrible accounting error might cost you, and your business. If, on the other hand, you’re not too bad with accounting, but the thought of doing your business taxes is enough to send you into nervous fits, consider at least hiring a tax consultant.
