5 Tips to Keep Your Small Business Finances in Order

Running a small business can be extremely hard work.  Most small business owners find themselves working much harder than their friends and acquaintances who have jobs at larger companies.  However, while the workload is daunting enough, it is often the financial aspect of running a small business that can cause the most trouble.  Here are a few suggestions on how you can keep your finances in order.

Keep Things Separate
While it may seem more convenient to buy something with your business credit card when it’s handy, this can quickly become complicated.  Save yourself the headache and keep transactions separate from the start.

Don’t Do It Alone
Just because you run a small business, doesn’t mean you have to do everything by yourself.  You may find that hiring an accountant to help you with your finances will help you save money in the long run.

Make Time to Review Your Finances
While it may not be your favorite thing to do, reserve 15-30 minutes each week to go over your financial situation.  Being continually appraised of where your business stands financially is an important aspect of running it.

Consider the Labor
Labor is more expensive than most people realize.  Keeping good track of exactly how much you are paying others to work for you can help keep costs manageable.
