Easiest Way to Streamline your Annual Accounting

Easiest Way to Streamline your Annual Accounting

Most important tip is to make sure your accounting is as easy as possible, especially for the future. 

 

I recommend that you have a separate rental bank account, where the rent goes, and all expenses are paid out of. 

 

For example, if you need to pay $3,000 for a heat pump, you personally introduce the $3,000 into the rental bank account and then pay the expense from the rental bank account. 

 

Or, if you have paid for an item on your personal credit card, that the rental bank account reimburses you for this straight away.  This keeps things simple.

 

Kind regards

Ross

Lifetime Book Club: Stillness is the Key by Ryan Holiday

In a world that rewards speed, noise, and constant movement, this book offers a different perspective. One that suggests clarity, better decisions, and a more meaningful life do not come from doing more. They come from slowing down.

This is not a productivity hack or a call to retreat from real life. It is a thoughtful reminder that stillness is not weakness. It is a strength.

Mastering the New Year: The Psychology, Power, and Precision of Goal Setting

For many, the beginning of a new year signifies a fresh start, a blank canvas upon which we can paint our aspirations and ambitions. Goal setting is not just a yearly ritual; it is a powerful tool that empowers individuals to strive for personal growth, achieve milestones, and lead more fulfilling lives.
