Audit-Proofing Your Business: Clean Books, Clear Deductions

A messy ledger is an open invitation to IRS questions. Clean accounting helps Realtors stay compliant — and confident.

Steps to Audit-Proof:

• Keep receipts for 7 years.

• Use dedicated business credit and bank accounts.

• Reconcile monthly and categorize transactions consistently.

• Store mileage logs, client meal notes, and travel itineraries.

Bonus Tip: Consider accounting software like QuickBooks or Realtyzam. Automation reduces risk and ensures consistency.

💡 Key Takeaway: Audit protection isn’t about luck — it’s about preparation and documentation.
