🧼 “Cleaning Your Books” — What does that mean?!?

If you’re new to entrepreneurship, “clean your books” probably sounds like you’re supposed to grab Windex and a paper towel. (If only it were that easy. 😅)

Here’s what it really means:

Cleaning your books =

• Fixing transactions that got tossed into random categories

• Deleting duplicates your bank feed snuck in

• Making sure your bank balance actually matches your real bank balance

• Untangling owner draws (not expenses!) and owner investments (not revenue!)

• Making your numbers make sense — finally

Why it matters:

Because messy books = messy taxes.

And messy taxes = paying more than you should

Clean books = calm CPA, lower taxes, and you actually knowing what’s going on in your business.
