Running a business will stretch you in ways you didn’t expect.

It asks you to grow, adapt, and trust yourself —
even on the days that feel uncertain.

There will be moments where things feel messy,
where you question if you’re doing it right,
where the path ahead isn’t clear.

But that’s part of it.

You’re not just building a business…
you’re building resilience, confidence,
and a version of yourself that didn’t exist before.

And that’s something to be proud of. ✨

At J. Arrant Consulting we are always looking for ways to support our clients growth, give them confidence, clarity, and a little less on their plates.

If your Stripe deposit doesn’t match your sales…
Don't panic. 👇

We see this all the time.

For example you made $5,000 in sales.
But your bank deposit says $4,842.37.

Cue panic. 😅

Here’s what’s actually happening:

Stripe doesn’t deposit your gross sales.
It deposits your net after fees.

So the difference?
That’s payment processing fees.

✨ Example:
Sales: $5,000
Stripe fees: $157.63
Bank deposit: $4,842.37

If you record the deposit as income without separating the fees, your books will:
• Overstate revenue
• Hide expenses
• Make reconciliation messy

The fix?
Record the full sale.
Record the Stripe fee as an expense.
Match the net deposit in your bank feed.

Clean. Clear. Accurate.

This is one of the most common bookkeeping mistakes I see with growing businesses — and it’s completely fixable.

Have you run into this before?

📊 Bookkeeping Tip

If your books aren’t reconciled, they aren’t reliable.

One of the most common issues I see in QuickBooks Online is this:

👉 Transactions entered
👉 Invoices sent
👉 Reports printed

…but the bank accounts haven’t been reconciled.

Reconciliation isn’t just a “nice to do.” It’s how you confirm:

✔️ Every transaction is recorded
✔️ Nothing is duplicated
✔️ No income is missing
✔️ Expenses are categorized correctly
✔️ Your reports actually reflect reality

If your Profit & Loss looks “off,” your first question should be:

“Are my accounts fully reconciled?”

Consistent monthly reconciliation gives you:
✨ Cleaner financials
✨ Easier tax prep
✨ Better cash flow visibility
✨ Fewer surprises

And honestly? More peace of mind.

If you’re feeling unsure about your reconciliations, it might be time for a QuickBooks clean-up or monthly bookkeeping support.

Freedom to Focus. Power to Grow.

A powerful reminder this Martin Luther King Jr. Day: growth doesn’t require seeing the whole path — just the courage to take the first step. 💫
