The Easter long weekend starts tomorrow – and while you’re likely juggling chocolate, family time, and a well-earned break, don’t forget your business books might need a little attention today!

With four days of public holidays (Friday to Monday), banks and clients will be out of office, so a few quick tweaks now can save you a heap of stress when you’re back on deck next week.

1. Send Last-Minute Invoices Today

If you’ve got invoices sitting in drafts, hit send now.
Most clients won’t check emails over the break, and payments due over the weekend may not clear until mid-next week.

2. Double-Check Any Scheduled Payments

Make sure any upcoming payments are scheduled to go out before the banks close, or delay them until after the long weekend to avoid failed transactions.

3. Auto-Replies & Office Hours

Even if you’re a solo operator, adding an out-of-office reply or social post with your Easter break hours is a great way to set expectations with clients and avoid surprise messages while you’re off.

4. Quick Reconciliation Session

Set a 15-minute timer today, log into your accounting software, and:
– Reconcile new transactions
– Tick off any outstanding bills or payments
– Check your cash flow for next week
It’s a fast way to start next week on the front foot.

5. Book Your Post-Easter Power Hour

Block out an hour on Tuesday to clear emails, update your books, and catch up on any messages. No need to rush, just a smooth reset after the break.

Wrap-Up:

Bookkeeping doesn’t have to be complicated—especially around holidays.
Taking 20 minutes today means you can head into the long weekend feeling on top of things… and enjoy that extra hot cross bun guilt-free.

Happy Easter!
