The worst bookkeeping mistakes that most business owners don’t realise
There are a number of mistakes business owners don’t even realise they are doing and in my years of bookkeeping experience, I have seen so many.
- Not setting up your chart of accounts
If you are doing your bookkeeping yourself, try not to use what the bookkeeping software provides as it may not be relevant. It’s beneficial to build your own and also make sure your GST codes are correct. - Setting up your Petty Cash account in Assets
If you have an office petty cash tin, it is not an asset. So, don’t setup an account for it. - Not setting up payroll correctly
Oh, boy have I seen some doozies in my time. It is extremely important that payroll and employees have been setup correctly. Include the employees DOB, TF and ensure their penalty rates are correct and also don’t forget that your linked accounts are correct, which includes tax, superannuation etc. - Reconciling incorrectly
This includes all bank and credit card reconciliation, BAS reconciliation and payment summaries and superannuation. - Assets or liabilities as expenses
By now you should know the difference between the two, but many business owners don’t. I can definitely help you and explain the difference.
It sounds simple, but why would you do this yourself, when you can outsource this to me.
