Ever swipe your personal card for a business expense and think, “I’ll sort it out later”? You’re not alone—but this common habit could be costing you more than you realize.

In my latest YouTube video, I’m sharing how mixing your personal and business finances can quietly sabotage your taxes, hurt your profits, and create serious stress when it’s time to file. I’ll walk you through the exact steps to avoid this mistake, so you can stop guessing and start feeling confident in your business finances.

Inside the video, you’ll learn:

• Why mixing finances makes tax time confusing and costly
  
• How to organize your expenses the easy way (even if you’re not a numbers person)
  
• The three steps I recommend to clean up your finances and protect your profit
  

As someone who almost missed $5,000 in write-offs for my husband’s side business this year (true story 😅), I know just how important it is to stay organized. Whether you’re just getting started or trying to get a better system in place, this video will help you understand how to organize your expenses for tax time and long-term growth.
