📌 **QuickBooks Tip: Reconcile your accounts every month.**

One of the easiest ways to keep your books accurate is also one of the most commonly skipped: monthly reconciliations.

Reconciling compares the transactions in QuickBooks to your actual bank or credit card statement.

It can help uncover:

✓ Duplicate transactions
✓ Missing transactions
✓ Incorrect amounts
✓ Transactions posted to the wrong account
✓ Old checks or payments that never cleared

If you wait until tax time to reconcile an entire year, a small bookkeeping problem can turn into a much bigger cleanup project.

A few minutes of maintenance each month can save hours later.

Aloha kākou! My name is Harvey, and I am Maui Humane Society's Pet of the Week! I'm a 10½-year-old dude with a BIG personality. I'm gentle, kind-hearted, and happiest with my people. I do well with children and may even do well with dogs! I'm ready for a loving home where I can spend my golden years surrounded by love. I still have so much life to live!

Your bank balance and your profit are not the same thing. 💰

It’s possible to have money in the bank and still have an unprofitable business—or show a profit on your Profit & Loss report without having that same amount of cash available.

Why the difference?

• Loan payments can reduce cash without the principal portion being an expense
• Owner draws or distributions reduce cash but don’t appear as expenses on your P&L
• Credit card purchases may affect your expenses before the card is actually paid
• Money owed to you may be included in income before you’ve collected it, depending on your accounting method
• Equipment purchases and other balance sheet transactions can affect cash differently than profit

Your P&L tells you how the business performed. Your balance sheet and cash position show you different parts of the financial picture.

📌 Bookkeeping tip: Don’t use your bank balance alone to decide how well your business is doing. Your financial reports give you a much more complete picture.
