    It might seem convenient to connect your personal It might seem convenient to connect your personal card to QuickBooks Online (QBO), but it can lead to messy books, inaccurate reporting, and missed deductions. Here’s why it’s not ideal: - Business and personal expenses should be kept separate for clean, accurate records - Personal charges can clutter reports and make tax prep more difficult - Sorting through mixed transactions can be time-consuming and prone to errors The better approach? - Use a separate credit card strictly for business - Only connect business accounts to QBO - If you’ve already mixed them, mark personal transactions as “owner’s draw” to keep things clear Keeping your books clean now saves you time, stress, and potential tax issues later!

    Still using the default chart of accounts from you Still using the default chart of accounts from your accounting software? Sure, it’s easy to stick with but it’s not built for your business. An optimized chart of accounts gives you: 1. Clear revenue tracking by service or product type 2. Smart expense categories that align with tax deductions 3. A clean separation between business and personal activity The default setup is just a starting point not a strategy. Make your numbers meaningful. Create a chart of accounts that works for your business, not just any business. Need help with cleanup or restructuring?
