If you have a situation where you need to refund your customer the money they have paid you, you want to make sure that you are doing it correctly so that everything clears out in the customer’s account and they show the correct balance due if they have one, or that their account balance is zero if they no longer owe you any money. Refunding a customer seems so simple, but many of my clients struggle with how to record the transactions in their bookkeeping system. Most will issue a check for the balance they want to refund, but the confusion normally comes when they need to record the refund in QuickBooks. You may be having the same issues if you are using another bookkeeping software system, but as long as you follow a few key steps, your refund will be recorded correctly. In today’s podcast episode, I’m diving into how you should be correctly recording how you refund your customers in QuickBooks so that their balance is not only correct but everything is linked correctly in your bookkeeping system as well. Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you’re a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA, keeping your customers satisfied by refunding any amounts owed to them and recording it correctly in your bookkeeping software will help eliminate any clean up in the future and ensure your financial statements are accurate. These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, or HoneyBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document…

Making sure that your customer’s balances are correct will not only ensure your financial statements are accurate, but you will have fewer inquiries from customers about their balances as well and less cleanup on your Accounts Receivable Aging Report down the road. Over the next few weeks, I am going to help you gain a deeper understanding of your Accounts Receivable Aging Report as well as how you can make any adjustments so that your customer’s balances are accurate, and we are going to start this week off with how to issue a customer a credit in QuickBooks. In today’s podcast episode, I’m covering what a credit memo is, when you need to issue one, and how you can properly apply a credit memo to an outstanding invoice. Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you’re a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA, understanding when it is appropriate to issue your customers a credit memo and how to do it correctly will help ensure your customers are happy and your books are accurate.

The April 15th deadline is closing in on us quickly. As a business owner, you have a lot of things you need to take care of, and filing your tax return is probably one of those things you put at the bottom of your list. I get it, I understand how hard it can be, and I’ve talked to many business owners who dread filing their tax returns. It is something that comes around every year, so you would think it would get easier, but every year the same feelings come up. There are ways you can prepare for your taxes and avoid all those feelings you have. Maybe for you, it is anxiety or dread. For others, it may be confusion or overwhelm. In today’s podcast episode, I’m diving in and talking about a conversation I had last week with an entrepreneur that really surprised me. I want to bring this situation up so that if you are feeling the same way this entrepreneur was feeling, I’m hoping I can help shift your perspective and help you make sure you are handling your business in the best way possible when it comes to the upcoming tax deadline. Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you’re a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA, the tax deadline will be here before you know it, and I want to make sure to help you avoid any additional stress and find out how you can avoid those negative feelings when preparing for your tax return. These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, or HoneyBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document…

Have you ever started something and fizzled out after a few days? I often hear about this when people are starting a diet or a new exercise program, but it isn’t only in our personal lives that we might find we are lacking in consistency. Creating habits so that you can remain consistent in whatever you are trying to accomplish will be the key to your success in your business or your personal life. Consistency will keep you on track, and over time, you will see the results no matter what it is that you are aiming to achieve. In today’s podcast episode, I’m helping you build your consistency muscle and incorporating tips that will help you maintain your consistency. Many of my clients struggle with consistency, and often they have self-doubt creep in, which makes it even harder to stick with their original plans to achieve their results. We work together to find balance in their lives and incorporate consistency without all the self-doubt. Are you ready to start being consistent in your business or your personal life so that you can see results like so many of my clients who are consistent are able to see? Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you’re a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA, finding the best action you can take and then taking consistent action on those tasks, will no doubt bring you the success and achievements you are seeking. These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, or HoneyBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document…

Have you ever wondered what success is and how you will know when you have reached it? Understanding what success means to you is the only way you will ever know when you have reached success in your business or your personal life. In today’s podcast episode, I will help you define what achieving success in your business and your personal life will look like. There isn’t a simple answer when it comes to success. You want to make sure you are thinking about different areas in your business and your personal life, and after today’s podcast episode, you’ll be able to know exactly when you’ve reached success. It doesn’t have to be complicated, but with a little planning, you’ll be able to see the path you are on that’s leading you to the success you have defined for yourself and your business. My one-on-one clients go through this process, and together, we can pinpoint exactly how they define their success and know exactly when they have reached success in their business and personal life. Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you’re a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA, taking some time to define what success means to you, as well as creating a plan for you to reach that success will help you ensure you are able to celebrate your success instead of being on a path where you consistently desire achieving success but never seem to reach the success you so strongly desire to achieve. These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, or HoneyBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document…

A common question I receive from clients is how they should be recording their loans in QuickBooks. I often see clients set up their loans the wrong way. They will sometimes appear on a report where they shouldn’t be, which can throw off any tax planning the client is trying to do. I know clients are trying their best and working hard to keep up with their bookkeeping, but every month when they record their loan payments, they know they are not doing it correctly, and it lowers their confidence when it comes to relying on their financial statements to make sound business decisions. In today’s podcast episode, I’m covering all the steps you should take when you have a loan in QuickBooks. Once you have this process in place, it really makes recording your transactions easy, and you’ll gain the confidence you need so that you can start relying on your financial statements again. Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you’re a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA; most businesses will have a loan at some point in time, and knowing how you should be recording all the transactions involved with your loan will help you create accurate financial reports that you can use not only in your business but for filing your tax return as well. These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, or HoneyBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document…

One of the most popular questions I receive throughout the year, and especially during tax season, is which receipts do I need to keep for my business, and the follow-up for this question is typically how I should keep these receipts. Both are great questions, and in today’s podcast episode, I go over which receipts you need to keep in your business as well as the best ways that my clients have found to keep these receipts so that they are able to find them easily. When I’m working with my clients, the overall goal is to ensure that whatever option they decide to use when maintaining their receipts, it is easy for them to do, and they are able to find the receipts when they need them. Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you’re a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA; knowing which receipts you need to keep for your business and how you are going to maintain a system for managing those receipts is pretty important if you want to be able to take the deductions for those expenses on your tax return. These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, or HoneyBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document…
