Tax time is just around the corner. We’ve been reading a couple of stories about some of the frustrations tax preparers endure each year, especially customers who come in with a shoe box full of receipts, with little if any of it organized in any cohesive way.
As the saying goes, there are two certain things: Death and taxes. (Add a disclaimer that we’re living longer, and taxes become more complicated each year.)
Even if you do your own taxes, you have to be prepared. There are lots of ways to do that with software ranging from Excel®, Microsoft Money® and QuickBooks®.
Would you rather spend a few minutes each week itemizing business and personal expenses, charitable contributions etc, or spend hours (days?) later as you head to tax time?
Would you rather simply hit “Print” than dig through drawers and envelopes?

Regardless of tax time or not, it’s important to track every dime you, your family or small business spends in these uncertain economic times. Sometimes it takes an easily produced pie chart or bar graph to show you where the money is going.
