Saving Energy at the Office

Try these simple steps to save on your utility bills.

• Use energy-efficient light bulbs, such as CFL's and LED's.
• Consider sensors that automatically turn off lights when an area is not in use.
• Turn off your electronics. Even in standby mode they are using electricity.
• Try virtual meetings to cut down on travel expenses.

A Quarterly Checkup

Even if you do your own bookkeeping, you may want someone to look it over before you give it to your accountant. Many accountants are blunt about sloppy books or bank statements that don’t reconcile. They will tell clients they must file for an extension, redo their books or get another accountant.

A quarterly checkup by an accounting professional can save you time and money by ensuring that your books are current and accurate.
