Sounds harsh but this is a saying I grew up with while in New York and I find it still relevant today as I assess businesses with staff bookkeepers or contracted bookkeepers that know nothing about job cost accounting.
One week it's,
"๐๐๐'๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ — ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐!"
The next week it's,
"๐๐๐'๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ — ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐."
๐คจ So… which is it?
If you're left confused, second-guessing your numbers, or constantly catching contradictions, it's not just annoying — it's a red flag.
๐ฏ A great bookkeeper should provide clear, consistent, and contextual financial insight — not make you decode riddles every month.
