In more ways than one!

You want to keep your bank account growing but I bet you never realized that one of the best ways to do this is to open one that's used exclusively for business transactions.

Why? Well the simplest reason is to protect yourself in the case of an IRS audit. Their audits go more quickly and easily when business transactions are kept separated from personal transactions.

But the better reason is so that you can simply track where your money is going. If you don't do this, expenses can easily get away from you and if that happens, you'll face a high probability of business failure.

There are two methods of accounting: 1)Cash and 2)Accrual. Accrual is the generally accepted method. However, unless your business is really large with outside investors, bankers and inventory, the cash basis will suit you just fine.

Besides, when your business does become large enough to have outside investors and bankers, you'll have enough income to hire an accountant who is knowledgeable about the accrual basis of accounting and who can guide you in the right direction.

The cash basis of accounting is intuitive and this is where the business bank account comes in. When you receive money for goods or services rendered, deposit the funds into the business bank account and record income. When you spend money on business related costs, write checks our of the business bank account and record expenses.

At the end of the day, hopefully income will be greater than expenses.

However, the only way to ensure that the data you are looking at is complete and accurate, is to use a separate bank account for business transactions and to make sure it is reconciled monthly.

Why? Because it's too easy to take a blank check with you, write it and forget it.

Reconciling the bank account monthly will uncover any transactions that were not recorded. Those can then be recorded and you can be assured that your records reflect the total financial activity of your business.

Only then, can you begin to analyze your financial information and use that to help grow your business and make it more profitable.

So, if you want to make money----and keep it-----open a bank account, just for your business!.
