59. Starting Your Business Series: 4 W's of Bookkeeping
This week on the podcast we continue our Starting Your Business Series with Esme Gonzalez, Founder and CEO of Balanced Ledger
She talks about the 4 W's of Bookkeeping and why investing in bookkeeping is so important for your biz growth.
In this episode we covered:
- What is Bookkeeping: The proper definition is "the activity of keeping records of the financial affairs of a business." The simple definition is keeping track of all the financial transactions in your business
- Who needs Bookkeeping: Every business small or big needs record keeping aka Bookkeeping in your business per IRS (pub 583)
- When should you do your Bookkeeping: There is a misconception that Bookkeeping should only be done once a year at tax filing time. We recommend doing Bookkeeping on a monthly basis
- Why should you do Bookkeeping: There are so many benefits to Bookkeeping not only remaining compliant but also being able to make better informed financial decisions.
