    At the end of the year, it’s important to both close-out the old year properly as well as plan for the new year. I recommend you start this process in early December so that there isn’t a last-minute rush to complete your year-end closing tasks. Even better, do this quarterly so that you remain caught-up with the tasks. Here are some ideas that you might want to add to your checklist:

    Cleanup and Closing Tasks

    • Enter all revenue and expenses into your recordkeeping system.

    • Send final invoices for current year.

    • Reconcile your bank account records with bank statements.

    • Estimate your last tax payment for the current year (many self-employed people make quarterly estimated tax payments…the final payment is usually due on January 15)

    • Mail holiday cards and gifts to clients/customers

    • Make holiday offers to clients/customers

    • Clean out old files/emails

    • Create year-end accounting reports and compare to goals for year

    • Tally business-related mileage for year

    • Tally expenses by vendor and prepare 1099’s if needed
