Bookkeeping for Solo Entrepreneurs

For a new solo entrepreneur, the term 'bookkeeping' can sound intimidating, conjuring images of complex ledgers and confusing accounting rules. This creates an either/or dilemma: either be intimidated by complex rules or find a simple, powerful way to stay organized. A single-entry bookkeeping system is the simple solution.

The foundation of this entire system is your business checkbook, which serves as the main source for all the entries you'll make in your books. Mastering a simple single-entry system will put you on solid footing, giving you the clarity and organization you need to manage your finances and succeed.
