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.


But here’s the truth:

🔍 If something feels off, it probably is.

🛑 Stop turning a blind eye.

✅ Ask questions. Require backup. Reconcile the story.

  Not just glanced — really understood where your business stands. For many small business owners, the financial reports collect more dust than insights. And the reasons why?

  💡 Why it matters: Waiting until month-end to reconcile can let errors, fraud, or cash flow issues linger too long. Weekly reconciliation helps you: Spot duplicate charges or missing deposits faster Stay on top of overdue invoices or upcoming bills Keep your books clean and investor/lender-ready at all times 🔍 Bonus Tip: Automate bank feeds in your accounting software (like QuickBooks or Xero) and block 30 minutes each Friday for a quick check-in.

It's not often that I network but when I do, people are often surprised that I'm an accountant. Accountants seem to have a stereotype of being dull and forgettable. Initially people are surprised with my haircut and when they find out that I have tattoos and also a 28 year old son and most importantly can carry on conversations about college football, and non-accounting related topics. We are one of the few countries that equates our professional life around identity, so naturally when many find out I'm also a forensic accountant, there's some initial shock. I'm incredibly charismatic, can be social and mask as an extrovert but I've encountered many in my field that can't. For some reason, many investigators I've met are rigid, stoic, cold and not very personable and it's all because they have allowed what they do to become who they are.
