Bookkeeping mistakes that are costly. Failing to separate personal and business finances Business owners get started. They only have one bank account and they're pulling personal funds out because the business is being financially supported by putting money in, and they're also being supported by pulling money out. Failing to keep accurate records Bookkeeping needs to be founded on three main principles up to date being one and accurate being number two and reliable and understanding what it means being number three. Failing to reconcile your accounts is essentially the verification that the information that's entered into your bookkeeping software is being accurate and being checked. Failing to track accounts receivable the last things we want to do as a business owner is provide a product or service that we should be charging and not actually collecting that money. Failing to track accounts payable we want to incur accounts payable and record accounts payable as they're incurred versus when we're just paying items.
