Running a business is no joke. If you have a creative background, you will still need to hire an accountant to handle your expenses. If you can’t afford an accountant then you will have to learn the basics of accounting to keep track of your cash flow. You have to keep track of your accounts receivable and your accounts payable. You must also learn how to reconcile accounts payable so that you do not default on your payments.

Here is a crash course on how to reconcile accounts payable: You must have a separate ledger detailing all that is under your accounts payable. There are spreadsheet programs that you can use to help you reconcile accounts payable. You can use one column to place all the details of the accounts payable. The column where you have your accounts payable must match the ledger where you have the details of your due payments. Be sure to check for errors in case they do not match. If all is done, post the entries to the general ledger. Check if the accounts receivable are enough to cover the accounts payable. Do adjusting entries on the journal if needed.
