Say no to Commingling!
Separate your business and personal finances
Commingling occurs when you do not differentiate between the use of personal and business funds.
Ensure that your business bank account is kept separate from your personal account, deposit your business income and pay expenses solely from this account.
Your personal bank account should only be used for your personal savings, salary and non-business expenses.
This is required by your bankers and makes your bookkeeping and tax preparation so much faster and simpler.
Keep proper accounting records
Ensure your income is supported by invoices, prepare receipts and develop a proper numbering system.
Deposit all your income.
If you must keep cash on hand for minor expenses, maintain a cash float.
Prepare payment vouchers for each payment and attach to each invoice. Keep all your receipts, if you are not sure the expense is tax deductible, no worries, that’s why we are here.
Services
Management accounts
Keep track of your monthly income and expenses, review if your targets are being met. Not all deposits are income, a loan is not income. Not all payments are expenses, loan payments are not expenses but loan interest is an expense.
Understanding which of your business inflows and outflows are income and expenses is crucial in determining the profits of your business and your tax liability.
Budget/Cash Flow
Keep track of your business finances by maintaining a budget. Remember to budget for taxes! You do not want this payment sneaking up on you and throwing off your cash flow.
Keep track of your receivables
When customers do not pay on time, your business cash flow will be affected. Pay attention to when your receivables are due and contact late-paying customers right away. If a customer is having financial problems, you may be able to set up a payment plan, whatever you do, keep on top of your receivables.
There are a number of options available to assist in the management of accounts receivables.
