I've been running my sponsorship work and the media buying side through one account and telling myself the Xero tags were good enough. They're not. Last month a client's production advance went to salaries and I nearly missed VAT. I don't want to double my admin, but Sunday-night reconciliation isn't a system. For anyone running more than one brand: how are you actually keeping money separate without hiring?
Two brands, one account. The tags didn't save me.
What a useful answer should help achieve
A low-admin way to keep client prepayments out of operating cash across brands without hiring.
Already tried
Tagged transactions in Xero and kept a separate sheet; both broke down by month-end.
Constraints and unknowns
Solo, no bookkeeper, and every admin hour is a billable hour lost.
