Why is communication so important in business?💭 Listen for some valuable points from our Director of Strategic Initiatives - Rachel! Oftentimes, saying it once is not enough! Overcommunication is key, whether it's with your coworkers, you team, or a client. In our fast-paced environment, it can be easy to assume that once someone has walked through something once, that they understand everything completely. Correcting the process in real time helps everyone stay on the same page and move forward together. 🤝 #professionaldevelopent #communication #smallbusiness #startup #pittsburgh #accounting

Never do this! ⛔ Many businesses and no-profits co-mingle funds all the time. It’s a simple, but dangerous mistake. Many business owners think in the moment that it’s acceptable to use restricted funds to pay off certain expenses that those funds aren’t designated for. They frequently plan to replace those funds with unrestricted funds once they acquire it. If you do this prepare to be met with errors, unnecessary mistakes, and even audits. Keep your accounts clean, and never co-mingle funds. #pittsburgh #womanownedbusiness #accounting #startup #tech #smallbusiness
