Behind on Your Books? Here’s How to Clean Up Months (or Years) of Messy Financials
You’re not alone. Lots of small business owners fall behind on their money records. It might be 6 months or even 6 years, but here’s the good news: it can be fixed!
At FINA Consulting Inc., we help clean up messy books. If your money stuff is confusing, you’re already taking a big step forward just by being here.
Why Business Owners Fall Behind
Even really hard-working business owners fall behind sometimes. Here’s why:
Too many jobs: You’re busy running your business, talking to customers, and doing the work—bookkeeping gets pushed aside.
Confusing tools: Programs like Excel or QuickBooks are great—but only if you know how to use them. One small mistake can lead to a big mess.
Not enough time or training: If you don’t know how to do it or don’t have time, it’s easy to fall behind.
Fast business growth: Growing is great, but it can make money tracking harder.
New software: Changing systems can cause problems if things don’t match up.
What Happens When Books Are Messy
When your money isn’t tracked the right way, it can cause big problems:
Late taxes: If your records are wrong, you might pay taxes late and get fined.
No loans or help: Banks and grant programs need clean records to give you money.
Bad choices: If you don’t know your numbers, you’re guessing—and that’s risky.
More chances for an audit: Messy books can bring unwanted attention.
Money confusion: If you don’t track bills and payments, you don’t know what’s coming in or going out.
