Monthly Books Checklist for a Small Family Business

Complete these steps every month: • Reconcile bank, cash and digital payment balances. • Match purchase bills with stock or service receipts. • Review unpaid customer balances and supplier dues. • Separate owner withdrawals from business expenses. • Save GST and tax documents in a dated folder. • Compare actual cash movement with the coming month's commitments. This checklist is educational and does not replace advice from a qualified professional who understands your business.
