You noticed the charge.

It didn’t make sense…

…but you let it go.


Maybe it was easier to assume it was a mistake.

Maybe you didn’t want to rock the boat.

Maybe confronting your bookkeeper felt uncomfortable.

✅ Ask questions. Require backup. Reconcile the story.

But what happens when the owner thinks 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒘 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅? ✅ Project drawdowns are meant for labor, materials, subcontractors — not vacations, car upgrades, or personal splurges. When owners 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 to fuel their lifestyle, they don’t just hurt the job — they jeopardize: - Cash flow - Sub relationships - Reputation - Future bonding & financing Let’s be honest — no amount of accounting can fix misaligned ethics at the top. When the business becomes the piggy bank, everyone downstream pays the price. 🛑 You can’t scale chaos. You can’t hide forever. And you can’t build trust on unpaid invoices.

Often times these additions can create a routine accounting function called inter-company accounting. While many business owners are focused on money flowing in and out of the company, only the accountant is truly concerned about the inter-company accounting because sometimes it can be a real challenge. If you are struggling to manage your firm’s inter-company accounting then the answer you seek lies within Tradition Accounting’s product package. This type of function is serious, complex and when left unmanaged it can create exposed liability to the LLC. Many in-house bookkeepers will simply record the transactions as a due to/due from or some other incorrect method of recognition. What many business owners fail to realize is those due to/due from will never get zeroed out and will go on forever. Many expenses are often shared between each entity – st...
