Even royalty needs a refresher. Here’s your next batch of bite-sized brilliance to keep your books sparkling.
Tip #1: Know Your Due Dates (and Put Them in Your Calendar)
Quarterly taxes? Sales tax? Payroll runs? If your memory’s a royal jester, use reminders. Your future self will curtsy in gratitude.
Tip #2: Use Class Tracking or Tags for Extra Clarity
If you run multiple product lines, events, or locations—class tracking (or tags) can show you what’s thriving and what’s…not fit for the throne.
Tip #3: Invoicing Isn’t Rude. It’s Regal.
Send those invoices promptly, follow up like a pro, and stop waiting 60+ days for your hard-earned coins. You worked for it—collect with confidence.
Tip #4: Reconcile More Than Just Your Bank
Credit card? PayPal? Stripe? They all need love, too. Reconcile those accounts monthly so your books don’t start lying to you.
Tip #5: Don’t DIY Payroll If You’re Guessing
If you’re making up how to run payroll as you go? Stop. Hand that crown to a pro service and just record the totals properly in your books (we covered that in the Payroll chapter, darling).
The Countess Says:
Your books are not just for tax time. They’re your business’s daily diary—make sure it’s not a tragic tale.
