Top 7 Mistakes Small Business Owners Make With Their Books

Bookkeeping mistakes happen. And let’s be honest, math errors don’t magically fix themselves overnight (we checked).

Common Mistakes

1. Mixing Personal and Business Expenses – That Starbucks run isn’t a “business meeting.”

2. Skipping Reconciliations – Think of it like brushing your teeth; skip too many, and things get messy.

3. Losing Receipts – Crumpled papers don’t count as a filing system.

4. DIY Bookkeeping – YouTube tutorials won’t replace a pro.

5. Ignoring Cash Flow – That “profit” disappears fast if your bank account says otherwise.

6. Not Reviewing Reports – They’re not just bedtime reading; they’re your roadmap.

7. Year-End Catch-Up – Spoiler: December is not the time to start bookkeeping.
