Messy books in. Clean books out. 📊

This is a simple before/after of a bank reconciliation (sample figures, no client data). Before: a duplicate payment and a missing entry left the books out by KES 13,650. After: both fixed, and the difference is KES 0.00.

This is the kind of work I do for small businesses every month: ✅ Bank and account reconciliations ✅ Accounts payable and receivable ✅ Invoice and payment processing ✅ Month-end support and financial reporting

This is a great example of how proper bookkeeping makes a real difference! Clean reconciliations lead to more accurate records and better financial decisions. 👏📊

Episode 7: Your bank balance is not your income. 💸

As a designer, money reaches you from Stripe, PayPal, Wise, direct transfers and Contra. By the time it lands, fees, currency conversion and delays have already taken a cut, and some of it never gets recorded.

That’s why a monthly bank reconciliation matters. It means matching your bank statement to your books, line by line, so you can:

✅ Spot the client invoice that was never paid ✅ Catch the software subscription you forgot to cancel ✅ Find the processor fees nobody recorded ✅ Know your real profit per project ✅ Reach tax time with clean numbers instead of a panic

It takes about 30 minutes a month. A gap you catch in October is easy to fix. A gap you find a year later is expensive.
