Signs Your Agency’s Bookkeeping is Falling Behind

Running a travel agency is demanding, and bookkeeping often gets pushed aside. Here are five warning signs that your books may be slipping:

1. Unreconciled deposits – Payments are recorded but never matched to bank deposits.

2. Missing supplier commissions – Commission income isn’t tracked, leaving reports incomplete.

3. Credit card chaos – Supplier payments are made, but never allocated to the right client files.

4. Tax uncertainty – GST/QST filings feel rushed, inconsistent, or full of guesswork.

5. Year-end stress – Your accountant is left piecing together numbers from bank statements instead of clean records.

 If you see yourself in more than one of these signs, it’s time to get support. Clean, accurate books give you clarity, control, and confidence in your agency’s finances.
