Shoebox receipt maintenance is common for the solopreneur or small business owner, far to common actually. Here are a couple of tips for keeping your receipts in order and out of the shoebox. 1. Keep a small accordion file folder in your car. You can get these at any large office supply store, or better yet, the dollar store. Once you have completed a purchase, write down the purpose of the purchase (the client you visit if applicable) and file it right away. Easy peasy orga...nization on a shoe string budget. Leave the shoes in the closet not your financials. 2. Use this easy APP by WAVE accounting to automatically track, categorize and store your receipts in the cloud. https://www.waveapps.com/blog/news/receipt-scanning-app This is a great APP that will work with your WAVE accounting account and keep you so organized you will wonder to do with all that extra space that once was occupied by all those shoe boxes ;-)

Wow, what an absolutely crazy time we are learning to navigate! One thing that does not have to be crazy is your business financials. Here are five great ways to stay on track with your bookkeeping and eliminate the stress of prepping for taxes. I love the WAVE accounting program. It is easy to use, very versatile for the small business owner with a customizable chart of accounts, used by more than 3 million users and best of all, it is 100% free! No adds, no tricks, no rest...rictions, free. If you want to add the payroll module you can pay for that service, but for the average small business owner, this program is the bomb! https://www.waveapps.com//five-tips-to-get-your-books-unde

During these times of professional and personal restrictions, it is important to keep your mind nourished. This is a great opportunity to give some extra attention to the administrative and marketing aspects of your business. Take that online course that you have been trying to find the time for; or, reinvent your website! Sign up for some informative webinars, and read up on the latest trends in your industry. Create a NEW business strategy list for the next year, instead of the next five years. I think it is fair to say that our previous plans have had a bit of a wrench chucked into them, bringing our professional wheel to a stop or severely slowed down. Don't let this current situation take away all your hard work. Train, evolve and empower yourself, so that you can come out of this stronger then when you went in.
