Clean Up Your Expense Reporting

Bean There, Done That is here again! Your seemingly-endless wait is finally over.
What the guy on TV says between beer commercials is true here at DK/RK Services, too: We’ve learned a lot, because we’ve seen a lot. And heard a lot. And this month’s precious edition is all about what we’ve learned, and seen, and heard about keeping track of your expenses.
Read on! Because the money (and potential tax audit problems) you save may be your own.
In fact, that’s pretty much for sure. You can take it to the bank (literally).
Once again, thanks for making DK/RK Services your first choice in bookkeeping… and for passing this edition on to your many friends who’ll want to subscribe for a “monthly smile.”

(That was a LONG time ago. Let’s move on.)
But we CAN offer you some tips on that last one – tracking your business’s expenses in the right way – based on some of the boo-boos we’ve seen business owners make over the many years we’ve been counting beans.

Isn’t It Suppertime?
Snoopy always knew when it was suppertime. There’s a whole song about it, and everything.
There’s a reason for that (for the fact that he knew when it was suppertime, not for the fact that somebody wrote a song about it).
The reason is that we dogs actually have a pretty good sense of time.
We don’t tell time the way you people do… we don’t care when the big paw is on the whatever, and the little paw is on the whozits… but if you do things in a routine way every day, such as feed us, walk us, or come home… we know when those things are coming up on the schedule.
Just so you know! Now… isn’t it about time for supper?

Non-Profit Spotlight
Buy A Muffin, Save A Monkey!
The Katie Adamson Conservation Fund (KACF) is one of the non-profit organizations we’re very proud to support.
The organization was founded by Denver zookeeper Dave Johnson in 2014, when a dear friend and conservation ally (Katie Adamson) lost her battle with cancer. KACF is Denver-based, but is dedicated to a global mission of wildlife protection and cultural compassion.
Right now, you can help us support KACF by buying delicious baked goods online!
KACF is sending two former zookeepers to Costa Rica for some conservation work with howler monkeys. The organization has partnered with the Big Raven bakery to offer a “virtual bake sale” to raise money for necessary equipment to be used on the trip.

Thanks for your support! The howler monkeys would certainly howl their appreciation, too.
