This year's tax season has finally been put to bed. And many people -- both small-business owners and consumers -- are breathing a collective sigh of relief. However, there is a fundamental difference between business and personal finances when it comes to taxes. While the “average Joe” may not have to worry about taxes again until next year, “Joe the small-business owner” needs to start thinking about his next quarterly tax filing now. Yes, for the small business owner, the taxman cometh four times a year.

While this is bound to cause anxiety, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With proper planning and the right financial tools, many business owners can approach each filing with confidence.

For the entrepreneur who has achieved this, I applaud you. And for the rest, to start you off on the right track for next year I’ve flagged seven financial faux pas that are commonly overlooked by small businesses.

I don't believe in the religious concept of sins, that is why I hade a bit problem with the ice cream maker, Magnum, with a ice cream series with 7 different flavors (as in the "deadly sins"). But what the heck, it prompted me to write a comment here! ;)

I would say that another financial "sin" is not to look at the cash flow.

Not paying attention to cash flow would definitely be another sin. Thanks!
