Look, I get it. You didn't go to school to be an accountant. Heck, maybe you didn't even go to college because your business took off and you didn't need that expensive degree. But now you're a little in over your head for something that "should" be easy to do.

In today's post, I'm going to walk you through 5 common mistakes that I see small business owners making and what you can do to make sure this doesn't happen to you.

We all know that keeping up with our receipts, mileage logs, and other business documentation (think business origination documents, loans, insurance agreements, etc.) can feel like such a chore. It's messy, we're too busy to deal with it, and it's cumbersome to think about the best way to manage it all.

So if you're like me? Well, then sometimes the documents pile up on the kitchen counter until you have no choice but TO do something with them.
