FUDGING DOESN’T WORK

April 30, 2018

| Categories: Money Matters

Fudging is not an official “accounting term”.  I don’t ever remember hearing that word in vocabulary of Financial or Managerial Accounting Courses but it is definitely a common word used in accounting around the offices especially at tax time. As a professional Bookkeeping and Consulting company owner, I specialize in making sure that clients monitor their day-to-day company activities on a regular basis.  For most of my clients that is a monthly review at month-end closing.  I treat them…

ENTREPRENEUR, ARE YOU STANDING IN YOUR OWN WAY?

I say it and I will continue to say it, time alone does nothing but record the second, minutes and hours of a day turned to week, month and then year.  It is how well one uses his or her time, the quality of time spent and the return on the investment of time that counts.  There are only 24 hours in a day and balance is the key if one expects to live to the fullest! You can’t…

I’m not known as the Queen “B” for nothing!  The “B” stands for business, the Queen of doing business better.  Consultations with me develop into teaching and strategic planning.  It’s something I do well.  The key is, understanding what you do well, doing it well so as to employ other people that can help bring your vision to life.  It’s the way jobs are developed, careers are built AND entrepreneurs flourish.  Let’s just say you have a gift for…

GIVINGIT’S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS NO, this message isn’t too late.  This is a message to corporate America.  If 2018 is to be great, understanding between Employers and Employees should improve significantly.  Under a republican government, small businesses thrive and I love that, however, many small business owners ignore and do not share the need for outsourcing properly or handling internally, human resources, payroll and bookkeeping services. Limited working capital makes everyone small business owner “do it all”.  That’s understandable…

DOCUMENTATION IS EVERYTHING!

Most people just wing it.  They don’t keep receipts and at the year-end gather all their information and drag it to a CPA or Tax Preparer to calculate their tax return.  While those professionals gear up and prepare all year to handle it, processing all of a person’s information for one year in a month (at best and a couple of weeks at worst), there is a lot work involved.  That’s where you cost come in for tax preparation. …

Guesstimations with your Business Finances? Every time I hear a business owner say the words, “I pretty much know that the entrepreneur is doing everything.  He or she is the owner, the sales person, the receptionist and the bookkeeper.  There is no way this can last.  The initial thought is saving money but time is money and where there is a lost or misuse of time so too is there a lost and misuse or abuse of finances.  The…

It’s all about the handling of money.  That’s the difference in a successful business and a non-successful business.  We learn how to handle money personally based on the way we grow up.  The value we place on money, the way we invest it, distribute it or spend it is based on the culture that we have been raised.  The things one values as successful or important is based on our culture whether one pursues material things or invest finances,…

Ain’t nobody Got Time For That!

 “I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date, no time to say hello, good-bye, I’m late, I’m late, I’m late!”  And that quote is from where? YES! Alice in Wonderland.  It’s my song that I sing to my youngest who has absolutely no time management skills whatsoever.  Every morning he hears it as I rush him out to school before heading to work. Ironically, if you ask the average entrepreneur the motivation for going into business for his…
