Record-keeping for your Home-based or Small Business

Jonahan Nyanku, CPA

Every business, small, medium, or large, needs to set up systems that deliver in a timely manner, financial information that speaks to the state of health of the business. This is especially important to those who run the business, enabling them to make informed decisions ranging from strategy to operations.
 

Revenue, accounts payable, accounts receivable, inventory levels, and liquidity measures are some of the numbers that should be readily available to aide decision making and management. In addition, an income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement should be produced and studied every month, without exception.

Be Write There,                                                Brona Pinnolis, JD, Owner

Having skills and ideas without the ability to express them is frustrating and ineffective. Too many in the workforce, from rank and file employees to those sitting in the boardroom, simply dread having to commit words to paper. The ability to express ourselves in writing, however, is critical to success in many disciplines. This fact has never been more magnified than today, an age when every business must have not only a web presence, but also an ability to utilize the various social media available through the web. There are two solutions to this dilemma: outsource projects requiring writing or improve your staff’s abilities through training. Either way, I can help.

Services offered:

  • Web pages and blogs
  • Sales and marketing materials
  • Business names and taglines
  • Writing workshops
  • Legal writing

I'm at Home, but I'm at Work

Nona Allen, The Redactor

You are home, in your office (or specific work area), and the phone rings (or someone comes in). You acknowledge the person who asks, “What are you doing?” When you answer, “Working,” they say, “Okay,” and continue with their conversation. As you look at the phone (or them) in disbelief, you begin to think. First, you wonder if you, in fact, told them that you were working. Next, you wonder how you can TACTFULLY get rid of the person. As you drop unheeded hints that you are working, you finally acquiesce and silently brood over the time you lost and your reduced production. When you finally return fully to work, you ponder how to handle this situation in the future. You wonder how you can convey the fact that yes, you are at home, but you are at work.
