 Being a small business owner or entrepreneur can be overwhelming at times! With so many tasks to tackle, falling behind on office work is inevitable. You're not alone! Many of our clients come to us a few months behind on their books. Today we're revealing a few simple ways you can get-up-to-date on your bookkeeping.
Start by Organizing Your Financial Records The first step to catching up on your bookkeeping is to get organized! You'll want to start compiling and organizing invoices you sent to customers, receipts, bank and credit card statements where you made purchases that are business expenses. Now is also an excellent time to review any outstanding invoices and collect on that debt. Separate Personal and Business Expenses We always advise our clients to keep their personal and business expenses separate. Co-mingling business and personal expenses may result in you being held personally liable for your business's debt and financial standing. As your organizing, be sure to separate your expenses. Reconcile Bookkeeping Next, you can log in to your accounting software and reconcile these expenses with your bank statements. This is one of the most crucial steps in preparing for tax filing next year, so be sure to take care when matching records. Want to stress-less and be sure you don't fall behind on your bookkeeping again? Feel free to reach out to us at info@capribookkeeping.com and let us handle your books.

Q. What's your biggest challenge as a small business owner? Keeping our business going with a smaller staff and keeping morale high since all of our 2020 ‘Live’ Events have been canceled. Our goal is to continue to give our clients the same level of attention as we did before Covid 19, to ensure that their events are a success. With a smaller staff and limited resources, we have realized that our relationships are what matter. When you believe in what you are doing 150% then it gives you the motivation to work harder. We are optimistic that we will come through this, though and hopefully incorporate the positives aspects of doing an event virtually with the live events once we are on the other side of Covid 19. Q. Why did you decide to seek bookkeeping services for your practice? Before Covid-19, our business was beginning to grow to the point that we felt we needed help. We found that our small staff of four did not have the time or expertise to meet the demands of our growing business. Q. Tell us about your experience working with Capri so far? One of the best decisions we made for our business was working with Capri. Andrea and Natalie jumped right in and helped us create a workflow with our accounts that made sense and was much more efficient. This allowed us to focus on other aspects of the business in order to continue to grow. They have given us peace of mind and have taught us so much about bookkeeping, which has been invaluable!

 One of the most essential steps to building a successful small business is having the right team working along side you! Here at Capri Bookkeeping Solutions, our team is poised for success and it's for good reason. I believe in hiring a staff that shares my values both personally and professionally. I also know that setting up my team for success is in my business's best interest and my clients. Today I'm sharing some of my tips for building a winning team within your small business.
Hire the Right Team The first step is to identify and understand the culture you are building within your company. What are your priorities as a business owner? What are the qualities that resonate with you and your business? Once you've identified the company culture, you can choose qualified candidates that fit perfectly within your values. Empower and Motivate After onboarding your new team members and acclimating them to your company process, it's important to check-in, provide feedback and encourage them. Offering advice as well as motivating your team is part of being a good leader and a way to create an environment for success. Invest in Your Team To successfully grow your business, you need to invest in your team. It's a win-win for both you and your staff. As you provide new outlets, projects and responsibilities to team members, they can flourish within their careers and your business thrives. –Ethan Capri, Founder and CEO, Capri Bookkeeping Solutions |
