Ho emphasized the importance of staying proactive with accounting practices to maintain a clear understanding of business performance and costs. “Keeping ahead of the accounting curve every step of the way is crucial to managing finances effectively and preventing unnecessary headaches,” she said.

A key recommendation is opening a dedicated business bank account to keep business finances separate from personal expenses. “Mixing personal and business finances can quickly turn into a nightmare,” Ho explained. “Untangling expenses wastes valuable time that could be better spent growing the business.”

Hiring an accountant or bookkeeper is another smart move for small businesses, according to Ho. These professionals not only handle the day-to-day accounting but also provide insights into cost-saving opportunities and cash flow management. “Think of them as an extension of the business, not just someone you call at tax time,” she added.

Choosing the right accounting method is also essential. Ho outlined the differences between cash-based and accrual accounting. Cash-based accounting, often preferred by smaller service-based businesses, records revenue when cash is received and expenses when paid. Accrual accounting, by contrast, recognizes income when earned and expenses when incurred, offering a more comprehensive view of a company’s financial health.

Another critical tip is for business owners to pay themselves a regular wage, ensuring personal and business finances remain separate.

Investing in quality bookkeeping software can also save time and reduce stress. “Good software cuts down hours spent on manual record-keeping and paperwork, allowing business owners to focus on what matters most,” Ho advised.

Discipline in budgeting is equally important. Ho recommended building an emergency fund for unexpected challenges or slow business periods. “Preparing for ‘rainy day’ scenarios ensures the business remains stable even during tough times,” she said.

Ho concluded by stressing the value of professional advice. “Running a business involves many moving parts, and seeking guidance from an experienced accountant can keep finances on track and give owners peace of mind,” she stated.

By adopting these time-saving strategies, small business owners can streamline their accounting processes and position themselves for sustained growth and success.
