Accurate bookkeeping is crucial for small businesses to calculate taxes correctly! Without the right experience, DIY QuickBooks can lead to mistakes and messy finances.
I often have to clean up botched books when new clients tried tackling accounting solo.
What you think you save in money by not hiring a pro, you pay out later in cleanup and potential IRS issues.
My advice – if you can, bring in an experienced bookkeeper or CPA regularly to maintain proper books. If not, at least link your bank to QuickBooks so transactions import. Then have a pro classify them properly to streamline the process later.
