Tax preparation isn’t a whole lot of fun, but I don’t have to tell you that. In years past, I’ve been able to pull things together in a fairly short amount of time. This year, for whatever reason, has been a completely different story. I guess a combination of late forms and procrastination has delayed the entire process.

At last – I can finally say they’re ready to be shipped off to the CPA.

The whole process has put the spotlight on my less than stellar business record-keeping. I’ve been meaning to get everything that pertains to the business imported and categorized in Quicken. Doing that will allow me to easily get the information together that my CPA needs. It would also allow me to track my business expenses a little more closely.

I have a complete and efficient system for my personal expenses and accounts. The business accounts need the same thing. I guess I know what I’ll be working on next week – or maybe the following week.

Anybody have tips on getting started with a proper system for the business?
