TUESDAY BUSINESS INSIGHT 📚 KEEP PROPER BUSINESS RECORDS
If you cannot explain where your business money came from and where it went, you don't have control of your finances.
One of the simplest ways to take control is by keeping proper and up-to-date financial records.
Your business should have clear records of:
📌 Sales and income
📌 Business expenses
📌 Receivable balances
📌 Payable balances
📌 Bank transactions
📌 Cash transactions
📌 Assets and liabilities
📌 Payroll expenses
📌 Taxes and statutory payments
And no, keeping records doesn't mean keeping every receipt in a drawer. 😅
Proper accounting records should help you answer important questions such as:
“How much did we make?”
“Where did the money go?”
“Who owes us?”
“What do we owe?”
“Are we actually making a profit?”
Good records also make it easier to prepare financial statements, monitor performance, make informed decisions and meet your tax and regulatory obligations.
