Bookkeeping is a critical part of running your business. Without properly maintained financial records, you don’t really know what is going on in your business. If you are a business owner and you are doing the books yourself, you might get into some problems.

Tax Issues
Paying your taxes monthly, quarterly, or annually is a responsibility that you should not overlook. Missing your deadlines leads to paying fines and penalties. With bookkeeping in place, you can have financial information you can use to make an estimated tax payment. At the end of the year, you avoid stressful tax preparation as your financial records are ready for the tax filing.

Turned Down for Financing/Loans
Managing your business working capital may require you to apply for a business loan. Getting a loan is not that easy. The lender will require you to prove your monthly revenue, expense, and net income. You will be required to provide financial information to review your business loan application. The last thing you should avoid is the delay your business will likely to suffer if your loan is not approved.

Planning Problems
There is a saying that the best way to predict the future is to create. You create your future through business planning. You can create a business plan based on historical financial information you have. If you don’t have this, you cannot plan because you don’t have a basis for your business assumptions and data to build your business plan.
