Simple Record Keeping That Makes Tax Season Painless

A lightweight system for receipts, invoices and returns that a two-person business can maintain in fifteen minutes a week.

Simple Record Keeping That Makes Tax Season Painless

Filing returns is only stressful when the records do not exist. Fifteen minutes a week beats three panicked days in June.

One folder, one habit

Create a monthly folder in cloud storage and photograph every receipt on the day you receive it.

  • Sales invoices numbered sequentially
  • Purchase receipts photographed and named by date
  • Bank and M-Pesa statements downloaded monthly

Separate business and personal money

A dedicated business account or till number removes hours of untangling later and makes your position obvious at a glance.

“Good books are not about accounting. They are about knowing whether you are actually making money.”

Reconcile monthly, not annually

A short monthly review catches missing invoices while people still remember them.
