5 Bookkeeping Tasks to Complete Before Year-End
Your bookkeeping may be up to date, but is it accurate? Discover five essential year-end bookkeeping tasks to help small-business owners identify errors, review financial records, and prepare for tax season with confidence.
Your Books Are Up to Date—but Are They Accurate?
Having your bookkeeping caught up is a good start. But how do you know your financial records are accurate?
As we enter the final quarter of 2026, many small-business owners are beginning to think about getting their books ready for tax season.
Maybe you've entered all your transactions into QuickBooks Online. Your bank feeds are connected, your invoices are recorded, and your expenses have been categorized.
Everything looks current.
But here's an important question: Are your books accurate?
Having your bookkeeping up to date doesn't necessarily mean your financial information is correct. Transactions can be entered into the wrong categories, expenses can be duplicated, and account balances can be incorrect even when everything appears organized.
These errors can affect your financial statements and the decisions you make based on them.
Before the year ends, here are five areas worth reviewing.
1. Make Sure Your Bank and Credit Card Accounts Are Reconciled
Connecting your bank and credit card accounts to QuickBooks Online makes recording transactions easier, but it doesn't replace reconciliation.
Reconciliation is the process of comparing the transactions recorded in your bookkeeping system with your actual bank or credit card statements.
This process helps identify missing transactions, duplicate entries, and other discrepancies.
For example, a contractor might have all their bank transactions downloaded into QuickBooks, but a payment entered manually could also be added from the bank feed. Without reviewing the records, that expense could be counted twice.
What to check:
Are all business bank and credit card accounts reconciled through the latest available statements?
Do the transactions in QuickBooks agree with the statements?
Have any differences been investigated and corrected?
If you're several months behind, start with the oldest unreconciled statement and work forward one month at a time.
Intuit's year-end reconciliation guidance emphasizes the importance of reconciling financial accounts before closing out the year.
2. Review Transactions for Incorrect Categories
Recording an expense is only part of the bookkeeping process. It also needs to be classified correctly.
This is particularly important for contractors and service businesses because different expenses can affect how profitability is reported.
Consider a plumbing contractor who purchases materials for a customer's job. Depending on the business's accounting practices, those materials may belong in a direct job-cost category rather than general operating expenses.
If they're recorded incorrectly, the business's gross profit may not accurately reflect the cost of completing its work.
Equipment purchases deserve attention, too. A significant equipment purchase may need to be recorded as an asset rather than an ordinary expense, depending on the circumstances and applicable accounting and tax rules.
What to check:
Are materials and subcontractor costs recorded in the appropriate categories?
Are equipment purchases classified correctly?
Are personal expenses separated from business expenses?
Are there transactions sitting in Uncategorized Expense or Ask My Accountant that still need attention?
SCORE’s 8 Step checklist for closing your books at year-end recommends reviewing expense categories and keeping personal and business transactions separate.
If you're unsure how a significant purchase should be treated, consult your accountant or tax professional before making adjustments.
Correct categorization helps produce financial reports that better reflect how your business is performing.
3. Look for Duplicate or Missing Transactions
Even when you're reviewing transactions regularly, mistakes can happen.
A transaction might be entered manually and then added again from the bank feed. A deposit could be recorded twice, or a cash purchase might never make it into the books.
These mistakes can affect your reported income, expenses, and account balances.
For contractors, it's also important to make sure customer payments are recorded correctly. Payments received against outstanding invoices should be applied appropriately so income isn't duplicated.
What to check:
Are there duplicate expenses or deposits?
Have cash purchases and payments been recorded?
Are customer payments properly applied to invoices?
Are transfers between business accounts recorded as transfers rather than additional income or expenses?
QuickBooks Online provides tools for reviewing transactions, but the information still needs to be checked for accuracy.
Taking time to investigate unusual transactions now can prevent additional clean-up work later.
4. Review Your Balance Sheet—Not Just Your Profit & Loss Statement
Many business owners pay close attention to their Profit & Loss Statement because they want to know whether their business is making money.
But the Balance Sheet is just as important.
Your Balance Sheet shows your business's assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific point in time.
It can reveal issues that may not be obvious when reviewing income and expenses alone.
For example, a contractor may have purchased a work truck using financing. The truck and the related loan generally need to be reflected appropriately in the financial records.
Likewise, loan payments should be separated between principal and interest rather than automatically recording the entire payment as an expense.
What to check:
Do loan balances agree with lender statements?
Are business credit card balances accurate?
Are outstanding customer invoices and unpaid bills correct?
Are there unusual balances in Undeposited Funds or other accounts that need investigation?
Are owner contributions and withdrawals recorded appropriately?
If you'd like to better understand how these reports fit together, check out my article, “How Your P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement Work Together.” It explains how each statement provides a different view of your business's finances and why reviewing all three gives you a more complete financial picture.
Reviewing your Balance Sheet throughout the year helps you better understand your business's financial position and identify potential problems before tax season.
5. Review Your Profit & Loss Statement for Anything Unusual
Once your transactions have been recorded, categorized, and reconciled, it's time to look at the bigger picture.
Your Profit & Loss Statement shows your revenue and expenses over a period of time. It can help you evaluate profitability and identify changes in your business.
Rather than looking only at the bottom line, compare your results from month to month.
For example, suppose an electrical contractor notices that revenue increased during the summer, but gross profit decreased.
That doesn't automatically mean something was recorded incorrectly. Material costs may have increased, labor may have been more expensive, or certain jobs may have been less profitable.
But it does mean the numbers deserve a closer look.
What to check:
Does reported revenue agree with what you know about your business activity?
Are direct job costs being recorded consistently?
Have any operating expenses increased unexpectedly?
Does your gross profit make sense based on the work completed?
Are there unusual changes compared with previous months?
An unexpected number isn't always an error. Sometimes it's valuable information about what's happening in your business.
Accurate financial information helps business owners evaluate profitability, understand cash flow, and make informed decisions.
That's why reviewing your financial statements is about more than finding bookkeeping mistakes. It's also about understanding what your numbers are telling you.
Accurate Books Help You Finish the Year With Confidence
The final quarter of the year is a good time to review your bookkeeping before preparing for tax season.
If your books are behind, the first step is getting caught up. If they're current, the next step is making sure they're accurate.
For additional guidance on getting organized, check out my previous article, “Behind on Your Bookkeeping? How to Catch Up Before Year-End.”
Accurate bookkeeping helps you provide reliable information to your tax professional. But its value goes beyond preparing a tax return.
When you can trust your financial reports, you're better equipped to evaluate profitability, plan for expenses, and make informed decisions about your business.
And as you begin thinking about your goals for 2027, knowing where your business stands financially is a good place to start.
Business owners who want to strengthen their financial knowledge can also explore educational resources through SCORE and the Kansas Small Business Development Center at Wichita State University. Both organizations offer resources to help small-business owners better understand and manage their businesses. The Kansas SBDC also provides business advising and training opportunities.

Using AI for Bookkeeping Questions? Protect Your Business Information
Learn how to use AI tools like ChatGPT for bookkeeping questions while protecting sensitive business and financial information. Discover what not to share, how to ask questions safely, and which privacy settings to review.
Artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT are becoming part of everyday business.
You might use AI to help write an email, brainstorm marketing ideas, explain a financial term, or answer a bookkeeping question.
These tools can be helpful and save time. But when you're asking questions about your business finances, there's something else to consider:
How much information are you sharing to get the answer you need?
In many cases, you don't need to provide detailed financial records or identifying information to ask a useful bookkeeping question.
AI Can Be Helpful for General Bookkeeping Questions
There are plenty of bookkeeping questions you can ask without sharing confidential information.
For example:
What is the difference between an expense and an asset?
What does accounts receivable mean?
How does a Profit & Loss Statement differ from a Balance Sheet?
What information should I review before categorizing a transaction?
Why is reconciling my bank account important?
Questions like these generally don't require AI to know who you are, where you bank, who your employees are, or your account numbers.
Give the AI enough information to understand the question—but not more information than it needs.
Be Careful About What You Upload or Paste Into AI
It can be tempting to take a screenshot from your accounting software or upload a financial document and ask AI to explain it.
Before doing that, stop and look at what information is included.
Avoid unnecessarily sharing sensitive information such as:
Social Security numbers
Bank account and routing numbers
Credit card numbers
Passwords or login credentials
Employee payroll information
Customer payment information
Personal identifying information
Tax documents containing confidential information
Other sensitive financial records
The same caution applies to screenshots. A screenshot may contain account numbers, customer names, balances, employee information, or other details you weren't thinking about when you took it.
Take a few seconds to review what you're sharing first.
Ask the Question Without Identifying the Business
Often, you can simply remove the identifying information.
Instead of uploading an entire bank statement and asking:
“How should I categorize this transaction?”
You could ask:
“My plumbing business paid $450 to repair one of our service trucks. What type of bookkeeping category would normally be considered for this expense?”
The second question provides useful context without supplying the company's bank statement, account number, or other transactions.
You can use the same approach with many bookkeeping questions.
Describe the situation. Remove names and account numbers. Share only the information that's relevant to the question.
AI Doesn't Know Everything About Your Business
There is another reason to be careful when using AI for bookkeeping.
AI can provide general information, but it doesn't automatically know how your books are set up, how your business operates, or why a particular transaction occurred.
Two transactions that look similar may need to be recorded differently depending on the purpose of the transaction and the circumstances of the business.
AI can also misunderstand a question or provide an answer that doesn't fit your particular situation.
AI-generated information can also be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect, even when the answer sounds confident.
That's why I recommend treating AI as a tool—not the final decision-maker for your books.
Before changing an account, adjusting a transaction, or making another bookkeeping decision based on an AI response, make sure the recommendation makes sense for your business.
When you're unsure, ask your bookkeeper, accountant, or CPA.
Don't Forget Your AI Privacy Settings
If you use an AI service for business, take some time to understand its privacy and data settings.
Privacy and data practices vary by AI service, account type, and the settings you choose. Before using an AI tool for business, take a few minutes to understand how the service handles the information you provide.
Before using an AI tool with business information:
Review the service's privacy and data controls.
Understand what information may be stored.
Use the privacy settings available to you.
Limit the information you provide to what's actually necessary.
And remember that privacy policies and technology can change. It's a good idea to review your settings periodically rather than assuming they have stayed the same.
Use AI—Just Use It Thoughtfully
AI can be a valuable tool for a small business owner. You don't have to avoid it because you're concerned about your financial information.
The better approach is to use it thoughtfully.
Ask general questions. Remove identifying information. Don't share sensitive financial details unnecessarily. And review the answers before making changes to your books.
Technology can make running a business easier, but good financial information still depends on careful review and good bookkeeping practices.
Better books. Better decisions. Better business.

How to Keep Your QuickBooks Online Transactions Clean and Accurate
Clean transactions are the foundation of reliable financial reports. Learn how to keep your QuickBooks Online transactions accurate by reviewing uncategorized items, checking suggestions before accepting them, watching for duplicates, and building a simple weekly review routine.
QuickBooks Online can save business owners a lot of time. Connected bank feeds can bring transactions into QuickBooks automatically, and the software can suggest categories and matches based on the information available.
But automation doesn't eliminate the need to review your books.
For contractors and field service business owners, a transaction that is entered twice, placed in the wrong category, or assigned incorrectly can affect the financial reports you rely on to understand your business.
The good news is that you don't have to wait until the end of the month to find these problems. A short review each week can help keep your QuickBooks file cleaner and make month-end bookkeeping easier.
1. Why Clean Transactions Matter
Every transaction entered into QuickBooks eventually becomes part of your financial records.
How those transactions are recorded affects reports such as your Profit & Loss Statement and Balance Sheet. If an expense is categorized incorrectly, for example, the total amount of your expenses may still appear correct while the individual expense categories are wrong.
That can make it harder to understand where your money is actually going.
For contractors, accurate transaction details can become even more important when you're using QuickBooks to track costs associated with customers or projects. You want the information going into QuickBooks to be as accurate as possible so the reports coming out of it are useful.
Think of it this way:
Clean books start with clean transactions.
2. Review Uncategorized Transactions Weekly
One of the easiest bookkeeping habits to establish is reviewing transactions that still need attention each week.
When transactions are downloaded from a connected bank or credit card account, QuickBooks may suggest categories based on information from the bank and how similar transactions have been categorized in the past. Those suggestions should still be reviewed before they are posted to your books.
Waiting several weeks—or several months—to deal with questionable transactions can also make the process more difficult.
You may recognize a $247 purchase from a supplier today. Three months from now, you may not remember whether you purchased materials for a customer job, shop supplies, equipment, or something else.
During your weekly review, look for transactions that:
Still need to be categorized
Have an unfamiliar vendor or description
May need to be assigned to a customer or project
Could be a transfer between accounts rather than an expense
May already exist elsewhere in QuickBooks
If you're unsure about a transaction, don't guess simply to clear it from your list. Take the time to research it while the purchase is still relatively fresh.
3. Review Before Accepting QuickBooks Suggestions
QuickBooks Online can suggest categories for downloaded bank transactions and can also identify potential matches to transactions already recorded in QuickBooks.
These features can save time, but a suggestion is still something you should review.
Before accepting a transaction, ask:
Is the vendor correct?Make sure you recognize the business and know what was purchased.
Is the category appropriate?A vendor doesn't necessarily determine the accounting category. You may purchase different types of items from the same business.
Does this transaction already exist in QuickBooks?If it does, you may need to match the downloaded bank transaction to the existing transaction rather than add another one.
Should it be connected to a customer or project?If you are tracking project costs, review whether the transaction needs additional information so it appears where you expect it in your records.
QuickBooks specifically instructs users to review suggested matches before posting them. Matching a downloaded transaction to an existing QuickBooks record helps prevent the same activity from being recorded twice.
Automation is helpful. Review is what makes automation useful.
4. Be Careful With AI and Automated Bookkeeping
Artificial intelligence is becoming part of more accounting and bookkeeping software, including tools designed to suggest matches, categorize transactions, and assist with reconciliation.
These tools can be helpful, but they shouldn't replace your judgment or the review of your financial records.
An automated system works with the information available to it. It may recognize patterns in previous transactions, vendor information, amounts, dates, and other data, but it may not know the complete business purpose behind a transaction.
For example, suppose a contractor regularly purchases materials from a home improvement store. One week's purchase might be job materials, another might be new equipment, and another could be supplies used in the office or shop.
The vendor may be the same. The proper accounting treatment may not be.
The same principle applies when using a separate AI agent to help with bookkeeping. Don't give an AI tool instructions and assume everything it changes, categorizes, or recommends is automatically correct.
Instead, use AI and automation as tools to make the process more efficient while maintaining appropriate human review.
Pay particular attention to:
Transaction categories
Suggested matches
Transfers between accounts
Customer or project assignments
Unusual or unfamiliar transactions
Changes made automatically through rules or other automated processes
If you don't understand why a transaction has been recorded a certain way, investigate it before assuming the software got it right.
5. Watch for Duplicate Transactions
Duplicate transactions can cause significant problems because they can make income or expenses appear higher than they actually are.
One common situation occurs when a transaction is already recorded in QuickBooks and the same transaction later downloads through the bank feed.
That's why understanding the difference between adding and matching transactions is important.
If the transaction already exists in QuickBooks, the downloaded transaction may need to be matched to the existing record. If you add it as a new transaction instead, you can create a duplicate.
QuickBooks also notes that duplicate bank-feed transactions can sometimes occur when transactions are manually uploaded and later downloaded automatically from the financial institution.
Before adding a transaction, stop and check:
Is this actually a new transaction, or is QuickBooks showing me bank activity that I've already recorded?
If you're not sure, investigate before clicking Add or Post.
6. How Inaccurate Transactions Affect Your P&L
Your Profit & Loss Statement summarizes the income and expenses recorded in your books over a particular period.
That means the quality of your P&L depends, in part, on the quality of the transactions behind it.
Suppose you accidentally record a $1,500 material purchase twice.
Your expenses could be overstated by $1,500, which would also understate the profit shown on your P&L by that amount.
Incorrect categorization can create a different problem.
If the total expense is recorded but placed in the wrong account, your overall expense total may be correct while the individual categories aren't. That can make it harder to evaluate spending patterns or understand certain costs of running the business.
This is why looking only at the bottom line isn't enough.
When reviewing your P&L, look at the individual income and expense categories too. If something seems unusually high, unusually low, or simply doesn't make sense based on what happened in the business, take a closer look at the transactions behind the number.
7. Make Transaction Review Part of Your Weekly Routine
Keeping your QuickBooks transactions clean doesn't have to mean spending hours on bookkeeping every week. The key is reviewing your books consistently instead of allowing questions and problems to accumulate until the end of the month—or longer.
If you've already started using my 30-Minute Weekly Bookkeeping Routine, transaction review fits naturally into that process. Set aside a few minutes each week to work through the transactions that need your attention while the activity is still fresh in your mind.
My Weekly Bookkeeping Checklist can also help you stay consistent. It gives you a simple process to follow each week so you're not trying to remember what needs to be reviewed every time you log in to QuickBooks.

The 30-Minute Weekly Bookkeeping Routine for Contractors and Field Service Businesses
Learn a simple 30-minute weekly bookkeeping routine designed for contractors and field service businesses. Improve cash flow, stay tax-ready, and keep your books organized with easy weekly habits.
Service Industry Insights
For many contractors and field service business owners, bookkeeping tends to fall into one of two categories:
It gets done at tax time.
It gets done when there's a problem.
Neither approach works very well.
When bookkeeping gets pushed aside for months, it becomes overwhelming. Receipts pile up. Transactions go uncategorized. Bank balances become questionable. Tax season becomes stressful.
The good news is that maintaining clean books doesn't require hours every week.
In fact, many small business owners can stay on top of their finances with a simple 30-minute weekly bookkeeping routine.
A little consistency each week can prevent major cleanup projects later.
Why Weekly Is Better Than Monthly
Many business owners wait until the end of the month to review their finances.
The problem is that by then:
Missing receipts are harder to find
Billing delays have already impacted cash flow
Bank errors may go unnoticed
Customer payments may already be overdue
A weekly routine keeps small issues from becoming large problems.
Think of it like preventative maintenance for your business finances.
The First 5 Minutes: Gather Your Financial Information
Start by collecting:
Bank account information
Credit card transactions
Receipts
Vendor invoices
Customer payments received
If you're using QuickBooks Online, much of this information may already be imported through bank feeds.
The goal is simply to make sure everything is available before you begin.
The Next 10 Minutes: Review and Categorize Transactions
Now review the week's activity.
Ask:
Is every transaction categorized correctly?
Were any personal expenses accidentally charged to the business?
Are all customer payments recorded?
Are there any duplicate transactions?
This step helps ensure your Profit & Loss report remains accurate throughout the year.
Small mistakes are easy to fix now.
They're much harder to fix six months from now.
The Next 5 Minutes: Review Accounts Receivable
Money owed to your business deserves attention every week.
Review:
Outstanding invoices
Overdue balances
Recent customer payments
Ask yourself:
Has every completed job been invoiced?
Are any invoices becoming overdue?
Do customers need payment reminders?
One of the easiest ways to improve cash flow is simply following up on unpaid invoices consistently.
The Next 5 Minutes: Check Cash Flow
You don't need a complicated forecast.
Simply review:
Current bank balance
Upcoming payroll
Vendor payments due
Large expenses expected soon
This quick review can help identify cash shortages before they become emergencies.
Many business owners discover that a 5-minute review saves hours of financial stress later.
The Final 5 Minutes: Review Job Profitability
If you're tracking jobs, spend a few minutes reviewing:
Labor costs
Material costs
Subcontractor expenses
Progress toward completion
Ask:
Are jobs staying within budget?
Are any projects losing money?
Do pricing adjustments need to be made?
The sooner you identify profitability problems, the easier they are to correct.
What Happens When You Skip This Routine?
When bookkeeping gets postponed:
Invoices go unsent
Customer payments slow down
Receipts disappear
Tax preparation becomes stressful
Financial reports become unreliable
Many bookkeeping cleanup projects begin with a simple problem:
"I got busy and stopped looking at my books."
A Weekly Habit That Builds Better Businesses
Successful contractors don't necessarily spend more time on bookkeeping.
They spend time consistently.
Thirty minutes each week can help you:
Maintain clean books
Improve cash flow
Stay tax-ready
Understand profitability
Make better business decisions
Consistency beats catch-up every time.
The Bottom Line
Bookkeeping doesn't have to take over your life.
A simple 30-minute weekly routine can help you stay organized, reduce financial stress, and maintain better visibility into your business.
Small habits create big results.
Better books. Better decisions. Better business.
Are You Charging Enough? Calculate Your True Truck Roll Cost
For construction and field service business owners, the most expensive thing you can do is start an engine.
Whether you’re an HVAC contractor, a plumber, or a general contractor, every time a vehicle leaves your yard, you are spending money. In the industry, we call this a “Truck Roll.” If you aren’t accurately calculating your truck roll cost, you aren’t just guessing at your profitability—you might be paying for the privilege of working for your customers.
What Exactly is a Truck Roll?
A truck roll is the total cost of sending one technician in one vehicle to a job site. This includes the time spent driving, the fuel consumed, the wear and tear on the vehicle, and the administrative overhead required to get them there.
Why Most Business Owners Get the Math Wrong
Most owners look at their P&L and see "Fuel" or "Auto Insurance" as general overhead. To truly understand your margins, you need to view these as Direct Costs.
If you charge a $75 "service fee" to show up, but it costs you $120 just to get the truck into the customer's driveway, you are starting every single job at a $45 deficit.
The Step-by-Step Calculation
To find your true cost, look at your bookkeeping records from the last 12 months and aggregate the following three categories:
1. Vehicle Expenses
This is more than just gas. You must include:
Fuel & Fluids: Monthly average.
Maintenance: Tires, oil changes, and unexpected repairs.
Insurance: The commercial premiums for your fleet.
Lease/Loan Payments: Or, if you own the truck outright, the Depreciation (the loss in value over time).
2. Fully Burdened Labor
Don't just use the technician’s hourly rate. You must use the "Burdened Rate," which includes:
Base hourly pay.
Payroll taxes (FICA, SUTA, FUTA).
Workers' Compensation insurance.
Health benefits or 401k contributions.
The Travel Factor: Calculate the average time spent driving per day. If a tech spends 2 hours a day driving, that is 2 hours of "unapplied labor" that the truck roll must cover.
3. Dispatch & Admin Overhead
Every truck roll requires someone to take the call, schedule the job, and process the invoice. Divide your office staff salaries and software costs (like Jobber or ServiceTitan) by the number of jobs completed to find this per-job cost.
The Formula
Once you have your annual totals, use this simple formula:
(Total Annual Vehicle Costs + Annual Burdened Labor for Travel + Annual Dispatch Overhead) ÷ Total Number of Service Calls = Your Truck Roll Cost
Example:
Annual Vehicle Costs: $20,000
Travel Labor (2 hours/day x $40/hr x 250 days): $20,000
Dispatch Overhead: $10,000
Total Jobs Per Year: 400
Result: $50,000 ÷ 400 = $125 per Truck Roll
How to Lower Your Cost (and Boost Your Profit)
Once you know your number, you can take strategic action:
Route Optimization: If you can reduce average travel time by 15 minutes per job through better GPS routing, you could save thousands in labor costs annually.
Inventory Management: The "second trip" is a profit killer. If a technician has to leave a job to go to a supply house because they didn't have a $5 part on the truck, your truck roll cost for that job just doubled.
Adjust Your Minimums: If your truck roll cost is $125, but your "diagnostic fee" is only $89, it’s time to raise your prices. Your minimum fee should always cover the truck roll plus a small profit margin.
The Bookkeeper’s Perspective
Knowing your truck roll cost transforms your bookkeeping from a "historical record" into a "predictive tool." When you know exactly what it costs to move your fleet, you can bid on jobs with confidence, knowing exactly where your break-even point lies.
