Why Accurate Bookkeeping Matters for Small Businesses
- Prevent tax penalties and audit risks
- Understand where your money comes from (and where it’s going)
- Identify profitable clients, services, or products
- Secure financing with clean financials
- Track expenses and deductions properly
Without reliable records, you can’t answer basic questions like: Are we making a profit? Can I afford to hire? Why is there no cash in the bank?
