sycamore

do a weekly friday review

open sycamore once a week — friday afternoon — and run a 5-minute review. it keeps the books fresh and catches surprises before they snowball.

4 steps~3 min
  1. 1

    1. spot-check the p&l

    open p&l, set range to "this week". revenue and expenses should look about right. anything 2x normal is worth a click.

  2. 2

    2. clear uncategorized entries

    filter the ledger by category = uncategorized. anything sitting there gets a category before you close out friday. usually 1–3 entries.

  3. 3

    3. confirm auto-feeds landed

    compare paid invoices in pawpaw to revenue entries in sycamore for the week. compare scanned receipts in sassafras to expense entries. these should match — if not, force a re-sync.

  4. 4

    4. look at cash position

    open the accounts tab. is your checking balance trending up or down? a once-a-week glance catches drift before it becomes a crisis.

    tip

    operators who do friday reviews never get blindsided by tax season. the books are clean every week, so december 31 is a non-event.
