Do you wonder how to support a small business owner you know? As the holidays roll around you could consider gifts that show your care of their passion - their small business! Small business owners are busy and don’t always have the available funds to buy themselves upgrades or swag, or time to research or design it. As a small business owner that cares about supporting small business owners, I’ve come up with a gift list with ideas to intentionally show that you care about what your small business friend/family member cares (so much) about.

If you're a small business owner, what gift would you love to receive? I know it sounds simple, but I love water bottles or coffee mugs with my logo on them!

Small Business Owners: are you reaching a zero-dollar difference when reconciling your QBO account? Great - that's important! But, are ALL of the available transactions accounted for when reconciling? It's critical that no transactions "float" forward month-to-month in QBO undiagnosed because regardless of whether-or-not they're reconciled to your bank account, they're on your financial reports. Yikes!

With year-end tax season approaching, this timely video on reconciling tips and troubleshooting scenarios will help with these critical aspects of ensuring your reports are accurate before you send them to your CPA or tax professional.

I'm not always great about it, but pulling myself away for walks (or brain breaks) can be invigorating and is where some of my best thinking can happen. A trick I've learned is having my Google Keep app handy on my phone so I can quickly note the things that come to mind and then keep enjoying the walk. If you try to take walking breaks, do you prefer listening to podcasts, jamming to music, calling friends/family, or quiet reflection?

New year, new opportunities! If you're a small business owner, this is your best opportunity to get your books set up for success throughout the year. Many small business owners manage their finances alone, but research shows that 65 percent of the entrepreneurs who cite a business issue as a reason for failure blame financial mismanagement for their collapse. As Xero wittily put it in their research report, "the bottom line of any business's health is, well, the health of the bottom line." Let's take care of the health of your bottom line and business together.
