Common questions

Monthly Bookkeeping: Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I update my books?

At least once a month. Monthly is the minimum for catching errors while they're still easy to fix, reconciling against your bank statements, and knowing your real profit. Businesses with lots of transactions do better with weekly updates — and either way, you'll always have up-to-date numbers to share with your tax preparer.

What's the difference between cash and accrual accounting?

Cash accounting records income when money hits your account and expenses when you pay them. Accrual accounting records income when you earn it and expenses when you owe them, even if no money has moved yet. Most small businesses start on cash because it's simpler; accrual gives a truer picture once you're sending invoices and paying bills on terms. I can keep your books on whichever method your tax preparer recommends.

What records do I need to keep for my small business?

Bank and credit card statements, receipts for expenses, invoices you've sent, payroll records, 1099s and W-9s, and copies of every tax return you file. I recommend keeping them for six years — longer than the IRS's usual three, to be safe. Attaching receipts directly in QuickBooks Online is the easiest way to stay organized.

What is bookkeeping, and why does my business need it?

Bookkeeping is the ongoing work of recording and organizing every dollar that comes into and goes out of your business. Without it, you can't know whether you're actually profitable, you'll overpay or underpay taxes, and tax season becomes a scramble. Clean books are also what banks and lenders ask for when you want a loan.
