If you’re like most business owners, you didn’t start your company because you love spreadsheets and tax codes.
And yet—here we are, halfway through Q3, and your finances still feel a little…fuzzy.

Maybe your books are behind, your income goals feel like a moving target, or you’re worried you’ll get hit with a surprise tax bill. That financial stress? It adds up—and it’s 100% avoidable with a few simple habits.

Here’s the good news: You don’t have to overhaul your entire business to gain control of your finances. You just need a reliable monthly rhythm—and the right tools.

The 3 Things Every Business Owner Should Do Monthly

If you do only three things to keep your business on track financially, let it be these:

  1. Review your books
    Whether you do your own bookkeeping or work with a pro, carve out time each month to check in. Are income and expenses categorized correctly? Are there patterns or cash flow issues worth flagging? Keeping your books clean helps you make smarter, faster decisions all year long.

  2. Assess your progress toward your goals
    Goals are more than wishful thinking. Use your monthly reports to see how close you are to your revenue and profit targets. Not where you want to be? That’s your cue to adjust your pricing, marketing, or expenses—before things snowball.

  3. Check your upcoming tax obligations
    Don’t wait for your accountant to surprise you in April. Review your estimated taxes, payroll tax deadlines, and any state-specific filings. Staying proactive here keeps cash flow smooth and your stress levels low.
