Consider your bookkeeping strategy and share!

Share your bookkeeping strategy in the project gallery. It's different for everyone — how do you handle your small business's finances? Consider:

Cash vs accrual accounting
Double vs Single-Entry
How you handle your personal vs business expenses
What categories your transactions fall under
Do you do it yourself, or hire a bookkeeper?

Share what's worked for you and what you plan to do differently in the future. This can be a confusing area of business for freelancers and business owners alike — let's share our learnings and help each other grow!
