If you have a business, you probably know you need to track your income and expenses. But what is the best way to do that? Many small businesses begin the easy way - spreadsheets. But if you’re busy, you will very quickly find that spreadsheets are a tedious way to record everything. Even if you’re an expert at building formulas and creating macros, you’re still doing a lot of manual work. Do you have time for that? No, you don’t. Can you afford to pay someone to do that? Maybe, but your money is better spent on Small Business Accounting Software.

It’s so exciting! You make a sale and you have dollar signs in your eyes. But sometimes those dollars never actually make it to your bank account. You have Bad Debt, and that can be as ominous as it sounds. How do you deal with it?

Roll Up Your Sleeves!

What’s the origin of this idiom? We know it means to get ready for hard work, but why? Maybe this is the reason:

My long-time accounting mentor, called Mr. Mac by friends and family, was born in 1910. By the time I was learning accounting procedures from him, he had already retired from one career and embarked on a new one to “keep busy.” Mr. Mac kept busy into his nineties.

There is much to gain from the wisdom of experience, but my favorite times with Mr. Mac were when he was talking about his early accounting jobs in the 1930s. [...]

If you’re an entrepreneur, managing a healthy cash flow is vital for the survival of your small business. It's essentially the main artery of your company. This is why it’s important to adopt several proactive strategies and anticipate any future peaks or valleys.
