Hey and welcome! 👋 My name is June. I'm so glad you're here. Whether you're just getting your business off the ground or you've been running it for years and still dread opening your books — you're in the right place. A little about this community: The Small Biz Ledger is brought to you by Westerfield Bookkeeping, but this isn't just a bookkeeping page. While our roots (and my expertise) are in bookkeeping and financial clarity, we cover the full picture of running a small business — bookkeeping and cash flow, QuickBooks Online tips, business planning, startup checklists, and the everyday decisions that come with owning a business. No fluff. No shame. Just practical help. Here's how to get the most out of this community: 1️⃣ Introduce yourself below — tell us your business, how long you've been running it, and your #1 money or business headache right now. 2️⃣ Check out the courses tab — templates, checklists, and guides are waiting for you, free to download. 3️⃣ Watch for our weekly "Ask Me Anything" thread — no question is too basic. 4️⃣ Read the Community Guidelines — a quick read that covers the basics (be respectful, no self-promotion, and please don't share the downloads outside the group — that's the one hard rule that keeps this community sustainable for everyone). 5️⃣ Turn on notifications so you don't miss weekly tips and template drops. To kick things off, drop a comment below: 👉 What's your business, and what's the one bookkeeping or business thing that stresses you out the most? I read and respond to every single one. Let's get you feeling more confident about your numbers — and your business. 📒

3 Numbers to Check Every Monday Morning
You don't need to pore over your entire P&L every single week to know how your business is doing. Just give it five minutes every Monday morning to look at these three numbers, and you're good to go. 1. Your Actual Bank Balance It’s not glamorous, but it’s your reality check. Know exactly what’s sitting in your account before you commit to any spending or investments for the week. 2. Money Owed to You (Receivables) Who owes you cash, and how late are they? If unpaid invoices are piling up, that’s money you might be counting on that isn’t actually there to spend yet. 3. Money You Owe (Payables & Upcoming Bills) What’s due this week or just around the corner? You want to see these coming before a bill is late, not after you get a reminder notice. Why these three? Together, they give you a quick, honest snapshot of your cash flow. It’s not just about what you "made" on paper, but what you can actually afford to spend right now. 💡 Note: This doesn't replace digging into your full financials every month—think of it more like a weekly gut-check so nothing catches you off guard. Do you already have a Monday money routine, or is this something you've been meaning to start? Let me know—let's normalize checking our numbers without the dread.
