    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? Let’s talk.

    Deleting old transactions can seriously affect you Deleting old transactions can seriously affect your tax records and cause bigger issues down the line.

🚫 It could change your previously filed tax return

🚫 You might mess up your audit trail or reconciliations

🚫 You could lose documentation tied to deductions or income

Instead of deleting the transaction, take a moment to investigate it. Double-check where it came from and why it may look off. 

Then, leave a clear note or comment for your bookkeeper or accountant so they can review it properly.
