    287: How To Set Up A Loan In QuickBooks Whether You Are Starting A Business Or Side Hustle, A Solopreneur, Entrepreneur, Mompreneur, Freelancer, Bookkeeper, Virtual Assistant, Owner, Or Self-Employed
    Mar 19 2025
    A common question I receive from clients is how they should be recording their loans in QuickBooks. I often see clients set up their loans the wrong way. They will sometimes appear on a report where they shouldn’t be, which can throw off any tax planning the client is trying to do. I know clients are trying their best and working hard to keep up with their bookkeeping, but every month when they record their loan payments, they know they are not doing it correctly, and it lowers their confidence when it comes to relying on their financial statements to make sound business decisions. In today’s podcast episode, I’m covering all the steps you should take when you have a loan in QuickBooks. Once you have this process in place, it really makes recording your transactions easy, and you’ll gain the confidence you need so that you can start relying on your financial statements again. Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you’re a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA; most businesses will have a loan at some point in time, and knowing how you should be recording all the transactions involved with your loan will help you create accurate financial reports that you can use not only in your business but for filing your tax return as well. These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, or HoneyBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document… Schedule your Complimentary Stress Audit And Clarity Session, where we’ll work together to create a clear and focused plan and overcome the obstacles that stand in your way so that you can move forward and immediately start enjoying your life with less stress, increased productivity, and more time to spend doing what you love with the people you care about: https://www.financialadventure.com/work-with-me Accountants, CPAs, Bookkeepers, Tax Preparers & Financial Professionals, sign up here to get updates on upcoming opportunities & grab the Audit Of Your Well-Being & Balance Guide here: https://www.financialadventure.com/accountant Ready to set up your business?

    Do you ever wonder if you are experiencing burnout? Burnout seems to be a topic that hits home for so many of us. I’m not talking about just feeling a little tired or having a stressful week.

    285: Receipt Management System Whether You Are Starting A Business Or Side Hustle, A Solopreneur, Entrepreneur, Mompreneur, Freelancer, Bookkeeper, Virtual Assistant, Business Owner, Or Self-Employed
    Mar 12 2025
    One of the most popular questions I receive throughout the year, and especially during tax season, is which receipts do I need to keep for my business, and the follow-up for this question is typically how I should keep these receipts. Both are great questions, and in today’s podcast episode, I go over which receipts you need to keep in your business as well as the best ways that my clients have found to keep these receipts so that they are able to find them easily. When I’m working with my clients, the overall goal is to ensure that whatever option they decide to use when maintaining their receipts, it is easy for them to do, and they are able to find the receipts when they need them. Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you’re a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA; knowing which receipts you need to keep for your business and how you are going to maintain a system for managing those receipts is pretty important if you want to be able to take the deductions for those expenses on your tax return. These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, or HoneyBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document… Schedule your Complimentary Stress Audit And Clarity Session, where we’ll work together to create a clear and focused plan and overcome the obstacles that stand in your way so that you can move forward and immediately start enjoying your life with less stress, increased productivity, and more time to spend doing what you love with the people you care about: https://www.financialadventure.com/work-with-me Accountants, CPAs, Bookkeepers, Tax Preparers & Financial Professionals, sign up here to get updates on upcoming opportunities & grab the Audit Of Your Well-Being & Balance Guide here: https://www.financialadventure.com/accountant Ready to set up your business?
