Accountants and bookkeepers are responsible for recording, organizing, and analyzing your business transactions. Among these transactions, your dealings with banking institutions may be the most common one. Most accounting institutions recommend that businesses pay invoices and receive payments directly through their banks. Hence, for small business bookkeepers, your banking statement is one of the easiest ways they can gather information relating to your income, expenses, and cash flow.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. But if you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner, and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top. 🗻 What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level. The higher you go, the more your effectiveness depends on how you connect, adapt, and communicate.

There has been a lot of discussion as of late about facts and fake news—about how facts and opinions are conflated in the same sentence, paragraph thought, and are given equal weight. I’ve been thinking about and working through this problem for the past few years, because while there’s bias in some media, our societal proclivity for allowing opinions to become as important as facts is too extreme to merely attribute to biased media.
