Common mistakes to avoid

Learning from others’ errors is the cheapest way to improve.

Using one expense account for everything

One catch-all account hides costs and makes analysis useless.

Leaving bank rules unchecked

Unchecked rules can categorise payments wrongly for months.

Before you start: preparation checklist

Having these ready usually shortens the project.

Your accountant's preferred account structure

Matching your accountant’s structure avoids rework at year end.

List of customers, vendors and items

Clean lists avoid duplicate customers and vendors.
