Running a business is hard enough—bookkeeping doesn’t have to be! This month, we’re shining a light on one of the most underrated tools in your business toolkit: consistency.
Keeping your books up to date each month not only saves you time during tax season, but it also helps you:
✅ Avoid missed deductions
✅ Track cash flow in real time
✅ Make better decisions with confidence
But here’s the kicker: staying consistent is easier when you have the right system and support.
💡 Why Our Google Sheets Template Works: Our Big E-Z bookkeeping system is designed with simplicity in mind. Because it’s based in Google Sheets, it’s easy to use, easy to access, and easy to customize.
You don’t need to be a numbers person to get organized—our system guides you through each step. It’s DIY-friendly, but you’re never left on your own.
🧩 Pro Tips for Consistent Categorizing:
- Use the Same Categories Every Time – Don’t overthink it. Stick with a set list of categories (like the ones in our template!) so you’re not reinventing the wheel each month. Check out our free expense category lists for common industries.
- Create a Quick-Reference Guide – Keep a cheat sheet handy (we’ve got one for you!) that shows common expenses and their categories.
- Tag Recurring Transactions – If the same vendor shows up each month, use the same category every time. (Example: Zoom = “Software”)
- Schedule a Monthly Money Date – Set a time on your calendar to review and categorize your transactions. Treat it like a meeting with your future self!
- Use Big E-Z’s Monthly Office Hours – Bring your questions, share your screen, and let us help keep you on track. Each month, we host free “DIY Client Hours” where you can bring your bookkeeping questions and get help in real-time. You’re not in this alone! This is the accountability tool that makes all the difference.
Stay consistent, and you’ll be surprised how quickly your books come together—without the stress.
Let’s make bookkeeping easy—together. 💪
