Four things keep owners staring at the ceiling. If even one of these is yours, it’s the whole reason this practice exists.
Months of transactions nobody has touched, and tax season getting closer whether the records are ready or not.
Her own homepage names it: you didn’t start a business to spend your evenings categorizing receipts.
Your current reports arrive full of terms nobody has ever explained — so you nod, file them away, and learn nothing from them.
A question sent Monday. An answer… eventually. Meanwhile you’re making decisions without the numbers.
SPK Easy means speak easy — talk about your books plainly, without jargon. Pick a word you’ve heard (and maybe nodded along to), and watch what it actually means:
Reconciliation
Bookkeeper speak:
“The periodic substantiation of account balances by agreeing the general ledger to independent third-party source documentation.”
In plain English:
Making sure your books and your bank agree — to the penny. If they don’t, we find out why.
What it means for your money: It’s how duplicate charges, bank errors, and missing deposits get caught early instead of compounding quietly.
Accrual
Bookkeeper speak:
“Revenue and expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred, irrespective of the timing of the associated cash flows.”
In plain English:
Counting money when you earn it or owe it — not just when the cash changes hands.
What it means for your money: It stops one big invoice from making a slow month look like a great one.
Uncategorized Expenses
Bookkeeper speak:
“Disbursements posted to an unclassified or suspense account pending appropriate cost categorization.”
In plain English:
Money that went out with no label on it.
What it means for your money: At tax time, unlabeled money is money you can’t defend — or deduct with confidence.
P&L
Bookkeeper speak:
“A profit-and-loss statement summarizing revenues, cost of goods sold, and operating expenses over a defined fiscal period.”
In plain English:
The scoreboard: what came in, what went out, what’s left.
What it means for your money: Yours should take 30 seconds to understand — and tell you whether the month actually worked.
Chart of Accounts
Bookkeeper speak:
“An indexed listing of all financial accounts comprising the general ledger, structured by account type.”
In plain English:
The filing system for your money — the drawers every transaction gets sorted into.
What it means for your money: Set it up right once, and every report after that reads clean instead of confusing.
Balance Sheet
Bookkeeper speak:
“A statement of financial position disclosing assets, liabilities, and equity as of a specific reporting date.”
In plain English:
A snapshot of what your business owns, what it owes, and what’s really yours.
What it means for your money: It’s the page a lender reads first — and the one that tells you whether you’re building or borrowing.
Cash Flow
Bookkeeper speak:
“The net movement of cash and cash equivalents across operating, investing, and financing activities.”
In plain English:
Whether money is actually in the bank when the bills land — profit or not.
What it means for your money: Plenty of profitable-on-paper businesses still miss payroll. Cash flow is the number that keeps that from being you.
Plain-English explanations are general educational definitions — every client’s monthly reports get this same treatment, in a conversation with Hali.
