Measure Twice, Cut Once

• It’s a rule every craftsperson knows.
• It applies just as much to bookkeeping.
• Rushing through reconciliations,
• categorizing transactions on autopilot,
• posting entries without a second look
• might save a few minutes today
• but it can cost hours later fixing mistakes.

Highly effective bookkeepers know that accuracy is built in the review,

• not just the work.
• In bookkeeping, speed is helpful.
• Accuracy is essential.
• Measure twice. Cut once.
