You’re good at managing your work. But who’s managing you? If you’re an accountant, CPA, bookkeeper, tax preparer, business owner, or other high-stress professional, you’re probably used to managing deadlines, clients, responsibilities, and an endless list of things that need to get done.

440: Why The Podcast Is Changing And How It Will Continue To Help You Whether You Are Starting A Business Or Side Hustle, A Solopreneur, Entrepreneur Freelancer Accountant Bookkeeper Or Self-Employed 02.09.2026 10min

If you’ve been listening to Mastering Your Small Business Finances for a while, you may notice that things are going to look a little different around here, and I want to explain why. I’ve spent more than 20 years as a CPA, and I’ve spent years talking with accountants and business owners about money, business, productivity, and success. But over time, I realized something. Knowing how to manage a business doesn’t necessarily teach you how to manage yourself when you’re under pressure. And that’s something I’ve experienced personally and something I’ve seen repeatedly with accountants and other high-stress professionals. So I’m evolving this podcast into something that reflects the work I’m doing today. Let’s dive in… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.

437: Recording Owner Contributions In QuickBooks Or Xero Whether You Are Starting A Business Or Side Hustle, A Solopreneur, Entrepreneur, Freelancer, Accountant, Bookkeeper, VA Owner Or Self-Employed 26.08.2026 12min

Even though you know you shouldn’t be mixing your personal and business funds together, we know it happens, and I totally understand that there are times when this may be happening in your business. I have seen many times when cash falls short, and the business owner needs to inject additional funds into the business. Where does this money come from? Well, to be honest, most often, it is the business owner using their personal funds to help increase the cash needed in the business. In today’s episode, I am going to cover how you should be recording these personal funds you may be depositing into your business. It doesn’t matter if you are using a computerized bookkeeping system like QuickBooks, Wave, Xero, or FreshBooks, or a manual system such as an Excel spreadsheet; you’ll know exactly how to record these deposits you make into your business from your personal funds. Whether you are just getting ready to start your small business, you’re a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, virtual online bookkeeper, or virtual assistant, making sure you are correctly recording any personal funds you put into your business will be extremely important. These amounts are not considered income or sales and should not be recorded as additional income in your business, so listen in so that you make sure you don’t overstate the income in your business by recording these funds incorrectly… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.
