I've seen what happens when people wait too long to deal with a problem — in the field and in the books. By the time it's an emergency, your options are fewer and the outcome's worse. Same principle applies to your business finances.
One habit prevents most of it: a monthly close. Reconcile the accounts, review the numbers, catch what's off while it's still small. It takes an hour, maybe two. Compare that to the alternative — a year of unreconciled transactions showing up right before taxes, when there's no time and no good options left.
I tell every new client the same thing: this isn't about being perfect every month. It's about looking often enough that nothing gets the chance to turn into an emergency.
