      <image:title>Blog - Hire Your Kids - A Few Tips on Hiring Your Kids</image:title>
      <image:caption>They have to be capable of doing actual work for your business. For example, you can't hire your 3 year old to do your filing. In general, children should probably be older than 7 if you’re going to hire them to do things like office tasks, but it really depends on the specific situation and the work they are performing for you. They have to do work related to your business. You can't hire your kids to do household chores or babysit, the tasks they are doing have to be directly related to your business. They have to be a real employee. They will need to track their time on a timesheet so you have records to support what you pay them. You need to pay them reasonable compensation. You can't pay them $100/hour to do your filing. You need to ACTUALLY pay them. It would be best to cut them a check from your business account so there is a formal trail of the transaction. As a bonus, they can deposit the money into a ROTH IRA or 529 account to start saving for retirement or college. You need to comply with legal requirements. You should have them complete a W-4, I-9, etc. just like any other employee.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If you know me at all, I don’t think this comes as a surprise.  I have been working with QuickBooks for over 20 years, so I have seen it change and grow a lot over the years.  When the Online version first came out, I didn’t love it, I actually avoided it.  But the product has come a long way and now it is my favorite option for accounting.  It’s not always the best choice for everyone, but for my clients and I it is the backbone of their accounting.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If you’ve ever been confused about whether or not you need to issue a 1099 to one of your vendors, you’re not alone!  The rules about who gets them can get complicated.  And depending on who you talk to, you might hear different opinions.  I know it’s hard to believe, but the IRS doesn’t make it easy to stay in compliance sometimes.  Shocker!  I’ve been helping clients prepare 1099’s for years, and sometimes I still have to refer back to the instructions for certain situations.  The season for filing 1099’s is right around the corner, so I thought now was the perfect time to do a post to help de-mystify 1099’s and give you some tools to make it easier.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Now that you have all of the supporting documents organized and filed, you’re done, right?  Not quite. You need to have a system in place for compiling all of the information into a usable format, like an income statement.  All of the money that came in and went out of your business needs to be tracked so you know if you’re making money and so you can file your taxes.  There are several options for doing that.</image:caption>

I recommend setting up a system that is easy to use, otherwise you won't use it and then what's the point?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Critical Financial Reports You Need to Manage Your Business - Profit and Loss Statement</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is a report that shows how much income you have made and how much your expenses were.  Your income minus your expenses equals your “Net Income” or “Profit”.  The Profit and Loss statement gives you a picture of your business activity for a specified period of time – month, quarter, year, etc.  You should be reviewing your Profit and Loss statement on a monthly basis, this is the pulse of your business.  It can help you answer questions like: Is my income increasing or decreasing?  How much is it costing me to provide the services/products I sell?  Is my income covering my expenses?  With this information you can make informed decisions about your business – Should I increase my prices?  Can I afford to hire some help?  In addition, on a quarterly basis you should be reviewing your Profit and Loss statement to determine if you need to make estimated tax payments.  It can also be helpful to compare your Profit and Loss over a period of time, for example compare the monthly Profit and Loss over the last six months or year to see the trends in your income and expenses.  This can give you some insight into the possible seasonality of your business.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Critical Financial Reports You Need to Manage Your Business - Balance Sheet</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is a report that gives you a snapshot of your business at a specified point in time.  The balance sheet has three sections: 1) Assets – things you own or amounts that are owed to you, such as cash, accounts receivable, equipment, etc. 2) Liabilities – amounts owed to others, such as balances owed to vendors, credit card balances, loan balances, etc., and 3) Equity – this is the net value of your business, the assets minus the liabilities.  It is made up of money you have contributed to the business, less money you have taken out of the business, plus any accumulated net income of your business, typically referred to as retained earnings.  Unlike the Profit and Loss that gives you a picture of your business over a period of time, the Balance Sheet is a picture at a single point in time.  It is helpful to compare the Balance Sheet from month to month, year to year, to see how healthy your business is – if your liabilities are greater than your assets, that’s not a good sign!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Critical Financial Reports You Need to Manage Your Business - Accounts Receivable Listing</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is a report that shows who owes you money.  If you send invoices to your customers for services or products, you should be reviewing your accounts receivable listing on a weekly basis so that you can follow-up with customers that haven’t paid.  This allows you to follow-up with them in a timely manner and get the money into your bank account as quickly as possible.  In order for this listing to be accurate, it also means you need to stay on top of recording payments that have been received from your customers.  It doesn’t reflect well when you contact them about something they have already paid.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Critical Financial Reports You Need to Manage Your Business - Cash Balances</image:title>
      <image:caption>This isn’t necessarily a report, but is something you need to monitor on a daily/weekly basis, depending on your cash position.  You need to make sure you have enough money in your account to pay any upcoming bills.  With the easy access of online banking, checking your cash balances should be an easy step you can do daily, or at a minimum weekly.</image:caption>

Most entrepreneurs want to spend their time selling their product or service and working with their customers.  Not balancing their checkbook, tracking their expenses, and chasing customers for payment.  However, if you have a business, the bookkeeping is a necessary evil for many reasons.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Philosophy - Step 3 - Grow your business!</image:title>
      <image:caption>You don't plant a seed in the ground for it to stay hidden under the dirt, right?  We plant seeds so we can see them grow into beautiful flowers and trees.  Your business is like a flower, it started with the seed of an idea, and it is meant to GROW!  Everybody's flower is unique based on the soil it's planted in, the water it receives, and the sun that shines on it.  The actions you take in your business, the systems you use to run it, the clients you work with, the employees you hire, all contribute to how your business will grow and what it will become.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Philosophy - Step 1 - Gain financial clarity in your business.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This means getting clear on several key things within your business: Where are you now in your business?  Are you profitable? What are your revenue streams? Where are you spending money? What are your overall goals for your business? What are the current systems you are using to operate and support your business?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Philosophy - Step 2 - Make a plan!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Once you have clarity around where your business currently is and what your overall goals and vision are, then you can tackle the next key phase, make a plan! Research has shown that businesses with a plan are more successful than those without.  When you think about it, it makes sense.  A road trip is more likely to be successful if you have a plan before you leave.</image:caption>
