For small businesses some records include:

• Records of all income sources. This should be totaled and accounted for monthly (and in some cases daily and weekly) with appropriate backup documentation.
• Records of all expenses. Disbursements showing all payments made should be meticulously saved. This includes all check, cash and credit card disbursements. All invoices, bills and receipts related to this should be maintained as part of the recordkeeping. Purchase of assets such as vehicles, equipment and real estate used for business may require special depreciation analysis.
• Employee compensation and tax records. This can get complex so it is important to evaluate this regularly and keep current. Our firm can assist in setting up a proper system for maintaining payroll records.
