When you make a purchase at a store, restaurant or other vendor, when the clerk hands you your receipt, quickly write on the receipt which account was used to pay. Was it your business chequing? Company credit card? Personal debit card? Cash? Use labels or abbreviations that will make sense not only to you, but to your bookkeeper.

Labeling your receipts as you go along will save you a lot of time you’d otherwise spend scrutinizing the fine print on your receipts to check account numbers and figure out if the purchase was made with debit, credit or cash.
