For small businesses that prefer paper over software, the two most widely used options are weekly and monthly bookkeeping records.

The Dome Monthly Bookkeeping Record organizes by month, better for lower-volume businesses or those who reconcile finances monthly. Both are $24.99, designed by CPAs, and include a calendar of important dates, expense tracking columns, and summary pages. Dome has produced these records since 1940, making them one of the most established paper bookkeeping systems for small businesses in the USA.

The Dome Weekly Bookkeeping Record tracks transactions on a week-by-week basis, making it ideal for businesses that process multiple transactions per week and want granular financial visibility.
