Weekly 10-Minute Bookkeeping Habit
Spending just 10 minutes weekly reviewing expenses and uploading receipts keeps you ahead of year-end chaos.
Most Canadian small business owners don’t struggle with bookkeeping because it’s hard — they struggle because it’s delayed.
A simple 10-minute weekly bookkeeping habit can save you hours of stress, missed deductions, and unexpected tax bills at year-end.
What to Do in Those 10 Minutes
Once a week, set a timer and:
- Upload fuel, repair, meal, and supply receipts
- Review bank and credit card transactions
- Categorize expenses properly
- Flag anything that looks unclear or unusual
That’s it. No spreadsheets. No overthinking.
Why This Works (Real-Life Examples)
- A trucker in Ontario who uploads fuel receipts weekly avoids missing thousands in deductible fuel and maintenance costs.
- An e-commerce seller who reviews expenses weekly catches subscription fees and ad spend early, protecting cash flow.
- A self-employed contractor stays CRA-ready because receipts are organized and traceable.
Small actions prevent big problems.
The Real Benefit
- Cleaner books all year
- Accurate HST/GST reporting
- Lower tax stress
- No year-end scramble
- Better cash flow visibility
Good bookkeeping isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing it consistently.
