NWA Business Coaches & Consultants: Is Your Bank Balance Lying to You?
If you’re a coach or consultant here in Northwest Arkansas—Fayetteville, Bentonville, Springdale, or Farmington—you know how important it is to guide your clients with clarity and confidence.
But here’s the question:
Are you treating your business finances with that same level of leadership?
One of the biggest financial mistakes I see in the coaching and consulting space is relying solely on your bank balance to make business decisions. That number doesn’t tell the full story—and without proper bookkeeping, it can be misleading.
💡 NWA Business Tip:
Reconcile your bank and credit card accounts every month.
Reconciliation means matching your accounting records (like QuickBooks) with your actual bank and credit card statements. It’s a simple but powerful habit that ensures your financials are accurate.
Why it matters:
Catches duplicate or missing transactions
Flags unauthorized charges
Prevents overstated income or missed deductions
Makes tax time way less stressful
