Streamlining Your Success with Checklists.

One of the simplest yet most effective productivity tools in my professional toolkit is the humble checklist. Over the years, I've built an organised system of daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual checklists that keeps both my team and myself on track.
Here's how I break it down:

✅ Daily Checklist

• Check the cash book and reconcile the till

• Check the bank feed against incoming and outgoing payments 

📅 Weekly Checklist

• File supplier invoices 

• Send customer invoices 

• Review bank balance 

📅 Monthly Checklist

• Reconcile the bank account 

• Review aged receivables 

• Check inventory status 

• Process payroll 

• Make supplier payments 

• Compare P&L to budget 

• Review balance sheet

📊 Quarterly Checklist

• Evaluate profit & loss estimates

• Process quarterly payroll payments 

• File the VAT return and make payment 

• File income tax payments 

• Assess overall business strategy alignment

• Deep-dive performance review with team

• Identify process improvements and training needs

• Refresh or set new quarterly targets

📈 Annual Checklist

• Reflect on achievements and challenges 

• Update long-term strategy and vision

• Plan budget allocation and resource needs for the year ahead

• Review aged receivables 

• Year-end inventory analysis 

• Review full-year financial reports 

• Finalise tax returns

Feeling overwhelmed yet? 

Checklists don't just keep tasks organised—they create clarity, accountability, and momentum. 

They ensure that the small daily wins ladder up to the big annual goals.
