Casual Articles - Ten Bookkeeping Mistakes Made By Small Business Owners
“Oh no. I see Rebecca heading this way. She talks 90 miles and hour without stopping, and I never understand what she is babbling about. She tells me one idea 10 different ways; I wish she could just get to the point and keep it brief.”The paragraph above is focused on verbal communication but some of these tips can help in any communication medium including your marketing messages and company information. With the ever-evolving information s

7. Getting the right categories set up.
Bookkeeping is really organising information into pigeon holes. Keep your system simple and use it
Welding is much more than taking two joints and soldering them together. It's a precise trade that requires proper training and education to perform safely and accurately. There's nothing "simple" about welding and, in fact, it can be quite a dangerous undertaking. Considering this, welding safety, including proper gear such as welding helmets, is vital for getting the job done right.The process of welding is especially dangerous for the eyes. Th
The business owner and/or their spouse try to do it all themselves (even though they don't really understand what they should be doing, even though they really don't like doing it, and even though they are busier than they've ever been in their lives before trying to do all the things that go with running your own business).
2. Buying goods or services with cash or personal credit card and then failing to record these transactions at all in the books, or recording them incorrectly.
3. Not properly dealing with employees.
If someone works for you, even for a short period of time, you need to consider whether they are an employee. If they are not going to go onto the payroll, make sure they are going to give you an invoice - no invoice, no payment!
The task of deciding whether someone is an employee is not made easier with the status indicator tool provided by the Revenue & Customs , for all but the most clear cut cases, this tool directs employment. Which of course is what they would say!
4. Not reconciling the bank account
Making sure that what is on the bank statements is the same as the books. This gives reassurance that no bank payments or receipts have been either missed or duplicated. It gives great reassurance that the books are right.
5. Not using the right system.
What is the best system for the business? For a business which needs to track credit given to customers and money owed to suppliers, it would be silly not to use a computer. For a business which can get by tracking just payments and receipts, it will still save lots of time using the right computer system.
6. Backup
If you are using a computer system - its essential to back it up. It costs very little and takes very little time. There really is no excuse not to!

Did you know that 80% of all sales are made after the 5th contact? The biggest mistake we make is not following up with our clients regularly. We not only lose the chance to offer other services and products, we lose the chance for satisfied clients' referrals. Building your practice needs consistent bi-monthly follow-ups. If you think this takes too much time, follow my lead and delegate some of it where you will spend only 6-8

Why Get Into a Resume Business?I was stuck at my job and barely covering my monthly expenses. I was working 45+ hours per week and had no time for my family or to relax. My job was hopeless and I new I needed something to get my head above water. I started many small businesses that failed or cost too much to startup.I decided it was time for a new job and I needed a resume. I began buying all types of resume how-to books. In a few days I

One of the most important considerations for outdoor security cameras is the power source. Quite often, building codes don’t require many outdoor, electrical connections, which means that if you require an outdoor security camera you’re going to have to deal with that situation. In most cases, there are power sources in the garage that can be utilized for this purpose with a simple bit of concealed wiring. However, if your home or apartment does not hav

7. Getting the right categories set up.
Bookkeeping is really organising information into pigeon holes. Keep your system simple and use it consistently. 20 to 30 account headings (or categories) is probably about right, 50 would usually be too many.
8. Not having a seperate business bank account
Yes you need a seperate bank account. Even if you just have one let property, I advise a seperate bank account. It makes everything much clearer and simpler and avoids unnecessary work.
Also should HM Revenue & Customs ask to see the business records, they would expect to see a business bank account. Having to provide statements for a 'mixed' private and business account would lead to requests to explain all the non-business bank receipts, and probably more explanations on top!
9. Losing paperwork
Unfortunately HM Revenue and Customs do expect you to keep all the receipts for your business expenditure. Be organised, file things away systematically, usually just date order is best.
10. Not dealing with VAT properly
Get on the right scheme. For a small business, often vat flat rate scheme is best.
Common mistakes are:
Not registering as soon as taxable sales exceed the level where registration is required, with effect from 1 April 2007 this became ?64,000 (up from ?61,000).
Not accounting properly for VAT on fuel for private use.
Not adjusting VAT on bad debts.
