Most bookkeeping disasters don't happen because business owners are careless—they happen because no one ever taught them what matters. In this practical workshop, we'll cover the most common bookkeeping mistakes small business owners make, the warning signs that your records may not be as accurate as you think, and the simple habits that can save you hours of frustration and thousands of dollars in clean-up costs. You'll learn what your bookkeeper and accountant wish every business owner understood, how to spot potential problems before they become expensive, and when it makes sense to do the work yourself versus when it's time to bring in professional help. Whether you're managing your own books, using QuickBooks, or simply trying to stay organized for tax season, you'll leave with a better understanding of your business finances—and a checklist to help keep your books on track. Topics include: The 10 most common bookkeeping mistakes Why your bank balance isn't your profit What receipts and records you actually need Warning signs your books may be wrong How bookkeeping mistakes affect taxes, cash flow, and decision-making When DIY bookkeeping works—and when it doesn't No accounting experience required. Ideal for small business owners, side hustlers, landlords, and nonprofits.
