QuickBooks Fails You Don’t Want to Collect

QuickBooks is powerful. QuickBooks is also petty — and if you treat it wrong, it will drag you.

Here are 3 common mistakes I see over and over:

1. Using your bank balance as your only ‘report.’ (That’s vibes, not accounting.)

2. Dumping half your life into ‘Miscellaneous.’ (Future-you hates this.)

3. Mixing personal and business like a smoothie. (Congrats, your books now taste weird.)

The fixes are simple:

• Run actual reports.

• Categorize correctly.

• Separate personal from business like your life depends on it (because it kind of does).

QuickBooks should make you faster, not frazzled. Clean it up, and suddenly it’s your ally instead of your enemy.
