📊 Handle Your Business: The Top Financial Tools Every Entrepreneur Needs to Secure the Bag
By Elizabeth Hooper | The Clarity Hub Blog | “From Chaos to Coins—One Step at a Time”
Let’s be real, you didn’t start your business just to stress over spreadsheets and chase invoices like a bill collector. You started with a vision, a dream, a calling. But let’s not forget: “Write the vision and make it plain” doesn’t stop at branding and social media. It applies to your MONEY too.
Whether you're building a business in ministry, beauty, consulting, or coaching, your finances must be in order. Why? Because sloppy finances cost you more than money they cost you opportunities.
Here’s a breakdown of the
TOP tools you need to clean up your business finances and step into your CEO era with confidence. 👑💼
💰 1. Accounting Software – Your Financial Command Center
Tool of Choice: QuickBooks Online or Wave
QuickBooks is the Beyoncé of bookkeeping—reliable, powerful, and worth the investment. It helps you track income, expenses, mileage, payroll, and even tax deductions. If you're just starting and funds are tight, Wave is a great free alternative.
📌 Pro Tip: Connect your business bank account and let it do the heavy lifting. No more guessing where your money went.
🏦 2. Business Bank Account – Stop Mixing Your Coins
Tool of Choice: Relay Financial, Novo, or your local credit union
If you're still running your business out of your personal account, we need to talk. 💳 Separate your business and personal funds to stay audit-proof and organized.
Kingdom mindset = Kingdom stewardship. Even Jesus had a treasurer (shoutout to Judas… before the betrayal 😅).
📈 3. Budgeting + Forecasting Tool – Know What’s Coming In & What’s Going Out
You can’t make boss moves with foggy numbers. YNAB helps you plan every dollar, and Fathom gives you insight into future growth and trends.
What gets measured gets managed. Period.
🧾 4. Invoice + Payment Processor – Make It Easy for Clients to Pay You
Tool of Choice: Square, Stripe, or HoneyBook
You’re doing all this work—make sure folks can pay you without a hassle. Choose a platform that fits your vibe, automates follow-ups, and tracks who still owes you.
Don’t be the “I forgot to send the invoice” entrepreneur. That’s not your portion.
📂 5. CRM – Keep Track of Client Money + Communication
Tool of Choice: WIX CRM, Dubsado, 17Hats, or Go High Level
A Customer Relationship Management system (CRM) helps you keep track of client onboarding, payment reminders, contracts, and communication—all in one place. Automation = peace.
Structure brings favor. You can’t pray for overflow and not have the jar ready.
🔐 6. Secure Document Storage – Because Receipts Matter
Tool of Choice: Google Drive + TaxDome or Dropbox Business
You need a digital paper trail. Keep contracts, tax forms, bank statements, and receipts organized and easily accessible.
IRS audits don’t care how “spiritual” you are. Receipts speak louder than tongues. 👀
✨ BONUS: Hire a Professional (Ahem… Me 👋🏾)
Sometimes you need a real one to step in and bring order to the chaos. Whether it’s cleanup, automation, or full-blown CFO services, don’t wait until it’s too late.
