4 Common Bookkeeping Mistakes to Avoid in Your Small Business 📊

---

Misclassifying everyday transactions can distort your financial statements and create extra cleanup work at tax time. Make sure your books are accurate by avoiding these four common errors:

• Sales Tax Collected: Recorded as a liability (Sales Tax Payable), not income.

• Loan Payments: Split into principal (reduces liability) and interest expense—never expense the full amount.

• Cash Withdrawals: Route through an Owner's Draw or Cash Clearing account rather than guessing an expense category.

• Account Transfers: Recognize bank-to-bank transfers for what they are, not as new income or expenses.
