Bookkeeping Service Houston What to send before the tenth

The file we can start from

The first message can be messy. What it must carry is the bank activity for the month that is open, plus one earlier month whose lines already agree. From those two we can see how far the catching up goes.

A download from the bank is enough to begin. A folder of photos of receipts can wait until we know which month they belong in. Sending everything at once usually slows the first match.

When more than one month is open, put the oldest name in the note. We will say whether that one closes first or whether a later month is blocking it. The order matters more than the volume.

What can wait

Payroll reports can follow a day later if the bank file is already in. Sales tax filings can follow once we know which deposits included tax. The return can wait until the months match.

The first note can stay on one month. Later months stay on your side until the open one is readable. One sentence about what is still open is the useful part, and the next piece comes after we have read it.

A Texas note

Allen's Landing, where White Oak Bayou meets the other bayou, is the place marked as the city's birthplace. Every Texan can picture a beginning. We still open a file at the newest month whose bank lines already tie out, not from the oldest paper in a drawer.

Send the file

Name the month and say whether the bank file is attached in your mind or still at the bank.
