None of these automatically means your salary is wrong.

They’re simply good reasons to review your compensation with your accountant or tax professional before year-end.

The main difference is fixing past mistakes vs. catching up on missing work:

Clean-Up Bookkeeping
Your books are up to date, but they may contain errors or inconsistencies. Clean-up can include:

- Correcting miscategorized transactions
- Fixing duplicate or inaccurate entries
- Reconciling account discrepancies
- Reviewing financial records for accuracy

Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Your bookkeeping has fallen behind and needs to be brought current. Catch-up can include:

- Entering months of missing transactions
- Reconciling past bank and credit card accounts
- Recording outstanding income and expenses
- Bringing financial reports up to date

Either way, getting your books in order means clearer numbers, better decisions, and less stress at tax time.

Accounts Receivable (A/R) is money customers owe your business for products or services you’ve already provided.

Accounts Payable (A/P) is money your business owes vendors and suppliers for bills you haven’t paid yet.

Why should you pay attention to both?

Because overdue invoices can hurt your cash flow, while unpaid bills can lead to late fees and strained vendor relationships.

Review your A/R and A/P regularly so you know what needs to be collected and what needs to be paid.

Save this post for later and follow my page for more bookkeeping, financial, and smart business tips to help you grow your business.

You should start paying attention to your cash flow now, NOT when you’re struggling to cover expenses.

Here are the money conversations you should be having with yourself, your CFO, or your bookkeeper:

- How much cash is actually coming in each month?

- What large expenses are coming up?

- How much is sitting in unpaid invoices?

- Can we comfortably cover payroll, taxes, and other bills?

- Which expenses are increasing?

- Do we have enough cash set aside for slower months?

- What does our cash flow look like for the next 30, 60, and 90 days?

Good cash flow management starts with knowing what’s coming before it happens.
