STEPS TO SAFEGUARD YOUR BUSINESS

Cash is king. But what happens when cash walks right out the door through carelessness or dishonest employees? Internal controls and solid policies and procedures are necessary to protect your business assets. These assets go beyond just cash - inventory and supplies all cost a business owner money too.
 
Because cash is one of the most vulnerable assets to theft, internal controls should start with safeguarding cash. Read on to see how you can protect yourself and your business.  
SOMETHING IS MISSING

In the past three years, according to the Society for Certified Fraud Examiners, the average size of small business fraud has increased by nearly 17 percent.  That should get your attention, because fraud and theft occurs in more than 35 percent of all small businesses. One out of three business owners has theft occurring in their business. Read further to learn if your business is suspect to theft.

TESTIMONIAL

Our psychology practice was in search of a bookkeeping service. We researched online, reviewed a number of websites for bookkeepers and came upon Paxton Bookkeeping's site. Many of the websites we reviewed had typos, but Paxton's website was professionally done. This may sound simple, but if someone is going to manage our financial information, attention to detail is a must.

From the initial phone contact and our initial meeting, it was clear that Lauri makes professionalism a priority. We find her responsiveness and attention to detail to be top-notch. I've already referred her to colleagues and would highly recommend Paxton Bookkeeping and Tax Services for your virtual bookkeeping needs.

I hope you find these tax tips helpful.  If you have a topic you would like addressed, drop me a line.

 

Sincerely,
 Lauri
