An issue of Hacker magazine (Photo credit: Wikipedia)This week's bookkeeping tip for small business owners is guard your information. We can all sometimes forget that scam artists and even hackers are out there, waiting for an opportunity to steal information. Always be conscious of security and confidentiality when it comes to information, especially when it comes to your company's books. Be mindful of who you friend on your personal social networking sites. If you don't know the individual personally, don't friend him or her. For some excellent tips on how to avoid small business scams, visit this page by the FBI. It's full of thoughtful tips, such as "never send money or give out personal information such as credit card numbers and expiration dates, bank account numbers, dates of birth, or social security numbers to unfamiliar companies or unknown persons." That one may seem like a no-brainer, but a reminder keeps it in the forefront of your mind, and some of the tips are less common knowledge.Have a great day, and be sure to like Clear View Business Solutions on Facebook to see our weekly tips in your news feed.
