Problem: Multiple Locations that I am paying bills for. Previous person set up files by month for outside location and for main corporate location the files are currently maintained by category. I find myself spending too much time trying to file stuff. Also if you forget the category they are filed in, then it seems like it is harder to find the bill. If all bills for all locations were filed by check number then I could review on the computer the checks I need to pull when research was necessary. Do you think it would be a good idea to file by check number? Or do you see problems with this that I may not be considering. I thing is that it would be easy to pull for research if filed by category. However, I find myself with a lot of miscellaneous bills that I don't feel I want to create a whole new folder. Also if you file by category, you have to remember what category the bill fit into (which in the future you may not always remember).
