When you run any business, you want to know how you are doing. If you do not record transactions and do accounting, you cannot track your progress. In this video, I talked about common accounting mistakes small business owners make.

When you accidentally record any transaction in a prior period, it will change the balance. If you use accounting software, you should lock it after each accounting period so that it does not happen in the first place. If it happens, you need to check out the previous balance to find out the mistakes. You see an incorrect balance in asset or liability balance, that means there are some mistakes. You need to check out the balance sheet to find and correct this mistake. If you see an incorrect balance in revenue or expenses balance, take a look at your income statement. Then find out the mistake in order to do the correct entry.

You can hire accounting professionals and let them handle this. Misclassifying expenses is one of the common accounting mistakes that will show incorrect balances in specific expenses. You will have problems when you make financial reports and prepare tax reports. So fix that as soon as you can. No matter which software you use to do accounting, you should keep the backup regularly. In case it fails, you will not lose any data.

If you have the luxury of hiring a specialized and trustworthy accountant, that is one of the better expenses you can make for a small business in my opinion. All these mistakes are so easy to make. Good post and video!
