Too many business owners start out using personal accounts for business expenses. But as your business grows, this can turn into a bookkeeping and tax nightmare.
Why this matters:
- You risk losing audit protection
- You may miss out on valid deductions
- Your cash flow picture becomes distorted
Steps to fix it:
- Open a dedicated business bank account
- Use separate credit/debit cards for business
- Track all expenses with cloud-based software
- Document reimbursements clearly
