Financial Checklist

Kim Cook

Good financial management starts with having the right information organized and readily available. The Financial Documentation Checklist provides business owners with a simple way to review the essential records every business should maintain.

Use this checklist to identify gaps in your financial documentation and create a more organized system for managing important business records. It covers key financial reports—including Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, Budget vs. Actual, and Accounts Receivable and Payable Aging—as well as important banking records, tax documents, and legal documentation.

Whether you’re preparing for a meeting with your accountant, applying for financing, reviewing the financial health of your business, or simply getting your records in order, this checklist can help you know what you have—and what you may still need.

Download the checklist, review your records, and start building a stronger financial foundation for your business.
