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.
