Net Profit Margin: More Than Just a Percentage
When business owners glance at their financial statements, one figure often gets a quick look before being set aside: Net Profit Margin. It’s easy to view it as “just a percentage” — a number that tells you whether you made money or not.
But after working with multiple businesses, I’ve seen firsthand how this one figure holds the power to spark game-changing insights.
Inventory Turnover Ratio: Is Your Stock Working for You or Against You?
When I first sat down with a retail client in early 2024, they proudly showed me a storeroom brimming with products. Sales were okay, but their cash flow told a different story—tight, unpredictable, and stressful. After reviewing their numbers, one KPI told me everything I needed to know: Inventory Turnover Ratio.
Accounts Receivable Turnover: What It Tells You About Cash Flow
“How long does it take you to collect what you're owed?”
This simple question leads us to a powerful financial ratio: Accounts Receivable Turnover (ART). It's more than just an accounting term—it tells you how fast your business turns sales into actual cash. And in 2025, with more businesses going digital and tighter liquidity across industries, this metric has never been more critical.
How to Use Gross Profit Margin to Drive Better Pricing Decisions
As an accountant working with various small to medium-sized businesses, I’ve seen a recurring challenge—pricing decisions made on gut feel rather than grounded financial insight. Many business owners focus on sales and volume but overlook one of the most powerful indicators sitting right in their books: Gross Profit Margin (GPM).
The Top 5 Financial KPIs That Reveal Business Health
As an accountant working closely with business owners, I’ve seen how financial data can either empower a business—or quietly drain it. Many of my clients used to think of bookkeeping and accounting as something to do “for BIR compliance.” That changed the moment we began tracking Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
What Are KPIs and Why Every Business Should Track Them
In my years of working with various business owners—big and small—I’ve learned that the difference between those who simply survive and those who thrive often boils down to one thing: knowing what to measure.
How to Spot Financial Leaks That Are Eating Your Profits
Running a business is a lot like sailing a ship — you can have the most beautiful vessel and a perfect course, but even a small, unnoticed leak can sink you over time.
In business, those leaks are your hidden costs, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities that quietly drain profits without you realizing it.
Upgrade Your Books, Upgrade Your Compliance: 2025 Edition
As an accountant, I’ve witnessed how poor bookkeeping silently sabotages business growth and leads to tax nightmares. But in 2025, it’s not just about growth anymore - it’s about survival and staying compliant in a changing tax landscape.
With the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) releasing new tax rulings and tightening audit procedures, upgrading your books is no longer optional - it’s essential.
Why Accurate Bookkeeping is More Important Than Ever in 2025
If there’s one thing 2025 has taught us already, it’s this: compliance is tightening, and the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) means business.
As an accountant working closely with SMEs and growing companies, I’ve witnessed firsthand how businesses either thrive or stumble based on one core habit - accurate and consistent bookkeeping.
And in this new tax climate, bookkeeping isn’t just an admin task anymore - it’s a survival strategy.
Post-Mortem of Tax Filing Season: Build Better SOPs from What You’ve Learned
As an accountant who’s just come out of another whirlwind tax season, I can tell you one thing: tax filing doesn’t just reveal numbers - it reveals patterns, problems, and opportunities.
Every year, I help clients clean up what’s been missed, misunderstood, or misfiled. And while it's tempting to breathe a sigh of relief and move on, now is the perfect time to look back, assess, and rebuild your business systems.
Because here’s the truth: a smooth tax season starts months before the deadline - and strong SOPs make it possible.
Lean But Mighty: How Bookkeeping During Off-Peak Season Strengthens Your Business
As an accountant, I often hear business owners say, “Pwede na ’yan, off-peak naman.”
But here’s the truth I’ve seen across countless client books: the off-peak or “lean” season isn’t downtime—it’s your most powerful strategy window.
In fact, this is when the most efficient, audit-ready, and financially secure businesses lay their groundwork. And at the center of that work? Bookkeeping.
Closing the Gaps: Aligning Bookkeeping and BIR Requirements
Bookkeeping is often treated like a back-office task—something to be done “just enough” to survive tax season. But as someone who works closely with business owners, I can tell you: those gaps between your day-to-day bookkeeping and the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) requirements? They’re where most business problems begin.
And trust me—I’ve cleaned up enough books and helped enough clients during audits to say this confidently:
The more aligned your records are with BIR standards, the more protected your business is.
Due Diligence for Small Business Owners: What You Can Do Yourself
As an accountant working with small business owners, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful due diligence can be not just for big acquisitions or investor talks, but for everyday operations. In fact, I’ve watched business owners save themselves from bad hires, fraudulent suppliers, or expensive partnerships - all because they took time to ask the right questions and review the right documents.
If you're a small business owner, here’s something I want you to remember:
Due diligence is not just for lawyers or accountants - it starts with YOU.
The Bookkeeper’s Role in Business Growth: More Than Just Data Entry
When most business owners hear the word bookkeeper, they think of someone quietly typing numbers into a spreadsheet, sorting receipts, or reconciling bank statements.
And yes—those tasks matter. But over the years of working with clients from different industries, I’ve seen the truth: a good bookkeeper is not just a data encoder. A good bookkeeper is a growth enabler.
Simplify, Systematize, Succeed: Organizing Your Tax Documents All Year Round
One of the most common problems I see among business owners—whether they’re running small retail stores, consulting services, or e-commerce shops—is that their tax documents are everywhere. Some are in drawers, others on someone’s phone, and many are already fading receipts.
When tax season arrives, panic kicks in.
But here’s what I’ve learned from years of working closely with clients:
You don’t need more time during tax season—you need a better system all year round.
A Deep Dive into Deductions: Did You Miss Any?
Every tax season, I sit down with business owners across industries—retailers, freelancers, consultants, and SMEs—and one pattern keeps showing up:
📌 They miss deductions.
Not because they’re non-compliant.
Not because they don’t want to save.
But because they didn’t know what could be deducted—or didn’t document things properly.
Simplify, Systematize, Succeed: Organizing Your Tax Documents All Year Round
But here’s the truth: the key to tax season success isn’t more time in April—it’s better systems in August, September, and beyond. The most confident business owners I work with don’t just comply. They’re organized all year round.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait Until December to Plan Your Taxes
Every December, I see the same scene:
Business owners scrambling through drawers for receipts.
Frantically asking for summaries from their staff.
Trying to make sense of reports while juggling year-end sales and holiday plans.
And the worst part? Realizing too late that they could’ve done something months ago to lower their tax due.
Tidy Books, Clear Mind: The Mental Relief of Financial Clarity
In my years as an accountant, I’ve seen it over and over again:
A client walks into my office, shoulders heavy with stress, eyes tired from endless worries—not about the work itself, but the unknown.
They’re not sure how much money is coming in, where it’s going, whether they’re compliant, or if they're just one BIR notice away from disaster.
Rebuild Your Chart of Accounts to Reflect Real Business Movement
Most business owners I’ve worked with think their chart of accounts (COA) is just a standard list that comes with their accounting system. But here’s the truth: a chart of accounts that doesn’t reflect your actual business flow is costing you clarity, control, and opportunities.
How to Conduct a Mini Internal Audit for Your Business
As an accountant working with Filipino business owners, I’ve seen how easily financial issues can slip through the cracks—unnoticed expense leaks, undocumented transactions, cash shortages, and even unnoticed internal fraud.
But I’ve also seen how powerful it is when a business owner takes initiative and says: “Let’s check where we stand before the BIR—or the problem—comes knocking.”
Reconciliation Time: Fixing the Mismatches Between Books and Tax Returns
As an accountant working with various Filipino business owners—from start-ups to growing SMEs—I’ve handled many cases where mismatches between books and tax returns caused confusion, panic, and even penalties. And more often than not, the issue isn’t fraud or bad intent—it’s disorganized processes and lack of reconciliation.
Beyond Compliance: Bookkeeping as Your Business Strategy
When most business owners hear “bookkeeping,” they think of compliance—receipts, ledgers, and preparing for tax filing. And yes, it is about compliance. But as an accountant working with entrepreneurs across the Philippines, I’ve seen how bookkeeping becomes so much more than that.
Bookkeeping isn’t just paperwork—it’s strategy.
Lean Season Projects: Set Up a Better Financial Control System
After the tax rush dies down, many business owners feel tempted to “rest” their finances until the next deadline. But as an accountant who has cleaned up more than my share of messy books and audit headaches, I always say:
The lean season is your golden opportunity to build a stronger, more resilient business—and it starts with better financial control.
Top 5 Bookkeeping Habits That Lead to Smoother Tax Seasons
As an accountant working closely with business owners here in the Philippines, I’ve seen it all—receipts stored in shoeboxes, financial statements rushed the night before the deadline, and last-minute scrambling for missing data. And every year, I remind my clients of this truth:
Tax season isn’t stressful because of the taxes. It’s stressful because the books aren’t ready.
What Your Books Are Telling You (That You're Probably Ignoring)
Over the years, I’ve worked with business owners across different industries—retailers, freelancers, online sellers, service providers. They come to me at various points in their journey: some stressed during tax season, some curious about growing, and others trying to recover from messy finances. Read more...
