Six simple tips for organizing your business finances: Keeping a company's financial health current can seem challenging. Still, with a few simple practices, it is possible to have greater control over the money that comes in and goes out of the business. To improve your company's financial organization, check out these five practical tips to make all the difference!
1. Separate personal and business accounts:
A common mistake among entrepreneurs, especially those in small businesses, is mixing personal and business money. Having separate accounts for each person makes it much easier to control income and expenses and helps avoid confusion and problems with the tax authorities.
2. Maintain a regular cash flow:
Recording all of your company’s financial transactions, both incoming and outgoing, is essential. Up-to-date cash flow lets you view your business’s economic health and plan better for the future. There are digital tools that can help you do this quickly and easily.
3. Set a budget:
Planning and following a monthly budget is an efficient way to avoid unnecessary expenses. Remember your fixed and variable costs, and adjust your budget as your business scenario changes. This will help you avoid surprises and make more strategic decisions.
4. Renegotiate debts and expenses:
It is worth periodically reviewing contracts with suppliers and banks. Better payment terms or even reduced fixed costs are often possible. This helps free up money to invest in more strategic areas for the company's growth.
5. Create a reserve fund:
For example, having an emergency reserve for the company is essential for personal finances. Economic crises or unexpected drops in revenue can happen, and having this fund will ensure that the business continues to operate without needing high-interest loans.
6. Multiplication Mechanism:
A practice adopted by Dakila Pesquisas and recommended to all its associates and participants consists of planning for the present, as this way, we generate prosperity and financial independence for the future. This is the 30/30/30/10 mechanism that in a way serves companies and consists of the following: 30% of your income for paying fixed bills (food, water, electricity, telephone, rent, fuel, etc.); 30% for personal expenses, leisure, etc.; 30% for reinvestment (this is the essential item, as it is what makes us expand our "economic universe"), that is, multiplying it with investments in guaranteed applications; and 10% for reserves, which can be used for future or unforeseen investments.
