The Importance of Establishing a Proper Budget
Bean There, Done That
Monthly Bookkeeping Wisdom From Your Friendly Bean-Counter
In the history of the world, nothing truly great has ever been accomplished without first establishing a proper budget.
Ha ha! Just kidding.
But really, if you’re in business, planning ahead and creating a sound budget just make good business sense.
Now’s the perfect time to sit down with your Friendly Bean Counter (FBC) (that’s me) and look at your company’s budget for 2022.
Let’s make next year the most prosperous and successful year in the history of the world! Or, at least, in the history of your company.
Reach out to your FBC, and set a time to talk about your firm’s budget for the future!
The time is now, late in 2021, to think about how 2022 will look – and how you can budget for the things that are likely to come up. This will help you deal with the things that aren’t likely to come up, but darn it, they insist on coming up anyway!
The future can be somewhat tricky in business, since nobody really knows what it holds. But the key to minimizing stress and maximizing profits in the unknown future is planning ahead, and having a solid budget to work from.
And even though “the future” is scheduled for later, you can schedule a budget planning session with your FBC today!

Dogs Get Sick Sometimes, Too
Sadie here, Dottie’s faithful canine companion, with another important tip for all you two-leggers who are lucky enough to live with dogs.
Sure, it’s “cold and flu season” for you humans, and we dogs feel bad for you when you get sick. But speaking of feeling bad, you might not realize that dogs get sick from time to time, too!
If your canine roommate has intestinal or tummy issues, you’ll know it. Sorry for the mess, but we can’t control it when we’re sick, so don’t holler at us!
Instead, it’s a nice idea to have some pet meds on hand for those yucky times of canine tummy upset. Do a little research, and you’ll find there are some great products out there, such as DoggyStat and Pawfy, to help us “stay regular.”
Let’s all stay healthy this winter.
Woof!
