Here’s your December bookkeeping checklist:
- Reconcile bank accounts (all 12 months).
- Categorize every transaction, no “uncategorized expense” allowed.
- Match receipts to expenses and upload them to a digital folder.
- Verify income matches your Stripe/PayPal reports.
- Identify tax-deductible expenses you missed throughout the year.
- Run a Profit & Loss report to see where your money actually went.
Goal: Start 2026 with clean books and fewer tax headaches.
