Simple Steps to Setting Up Your Accounting System
Getting your accounting system up and running doesn’t have to be complicated. Follow these simple steps to create a setup that works for your business and keeps your finances on track:
1. Pick your accounting software
Choose a tool like QuickBooks or Xero that fits your business needs and makes tracking finances easy.
2. Create a chart of accounts
Set up categories for your income, expenses, and other financial details to stay organized.
3. Open a business bank account (if you haven’t already)
Keep your personal and business money separate—it’s better for your records and tax time.
4. Set up invoicing and payments
Use templates for professional invoices and make it easy for clients to pay you on time.
5. Establish routines
Schedule regular times to reconcile accounts, review reports, and handle payroll.
6. Get expert help if needed
Consult with a bookkeeper or accountant to make sure your setup is accurate and ready for growth.
