Businesses of all sizes uses budgets to guide and track the incoming and outgoing money, and to make sure that spending does not get out of control. If your budgeting has gone awry, now is the time to modify and update. Online check printing and mailing works with any sized business budget and offers a more economical and automated way to get payments out promptly. Consider some common budget pitfalls and how online check printing and mailing can help business owners get back on track.
You’ve probably noticed that prices are up. Inflation continues to plague many small business owners, as well as consumers, and a dated budget may not reflect the realistic costs of goods and services today. It is worth it to take the time to review recent receipts and records to contrast the numbers to the category projections in the current budget. Updating the numbers so that today’s budget mirrors today’s actual costs gives you a more accurate tool for planning and projecting. Checkeeper keeps an automated online registry for users that records a history of every check created, including every detail on the check. Search the registry by the vendors and companies who have been paid for goods and services in order to pull up data to match against your budget; contrast the numbers to see if the amounts spent on select items comply with the amounts that the budget had allocated to them. A searchable, printable, exportable online registry with automatic recording is a much more useful tool for expediently and efficiently reviewing spending records than piles of paperwork and check registries.
Making a budget is an important first step—but the budget is only as useful as the consistency with which it is followed. Good budgeting requires knowing where your money is going, which means tracking expenses and reconciling spending records with bank and credit card statements. Checkeeper makes expense tracking easier by enabling users to run reports instantly to see the spending over a given time. Input a month, quarter, or select time frame for which you need to run a report, and Checkeeper can pull up a list of all checks created within that time frame. Download or print a full report to give to your bookkeeper or accountant when professional assistance is needed.
Online payment options are widely available, but many incur transactional and service fees that can really add up over time and throw off budgeted allocations. Checks remain one of the most reliable and trusted ways to issue payments, and they are accepted by virtually everyone. Checkeeper offers an all-inclusive check-printing and mailing service that never adds in hidden fees. One monthly subscription covers an unlimited number of checks each month: print dozens, hundreds, or thousands—all for one price. There are no member tiers, pricey add-ons, or special equipment investments required to get your checks printed on demand.
When you need check mailing services, a simple, low-cost credit purchase can get you covered for all the checks you need. If you need a large batch of checks back in your own hands first, for payroll, for instance, or for in-house adjustments, Checkeeper offers an economical batch-mailing option that can get your needed checks back to you the next day.
When you need a large volume of checks printed as part of a high-volume check order—for customer rebates or refunds, for instance—Checkeeper is by far the most economical and expedient way to go. A call or email to Checkeeper can get you a custom quote for a large or time-sensitive order and can alleviate for your office all the work and expense involved in getting hundreds or thousands of checks out promptly and accurately.
