I think most people that excel on their financial lives are good managers of their personal finances. Personal discipline plays a major role in achieving this thing I must say.

keeping it in a soft copy is a very good idea. But do you really think it is a good idea to share it with people around you?.
I am just feeling it can also be a safe way to keep it in case the one with you got lost. When sharing with people, you need to share with only those people that you can trust well

This is a very good thread not only to business people but to everybody. It is good to have financial discipline. This can only be achieved when your expenditures do not surpass revenues.

Keeping your financial records with people is not a bad idea but it has to be with some close people around you that you can trust so well, that can not use it against you

You can only keep your financial records intact when you have qualified personnel managing it. Every sales and expenses, back up with documents like receipts must be recorded. No lapses must be allowed.

Exactly, it needs to be people you have some level of trust for to an extent. Of course you don't just share it with any random person.

You can use quick books to keep your financial records. I think automating financial records is the best way to keep it safe.
Yes. Quick book and other accounting ledgers are there for you to keep your records intact. But the problem here is that you might find those books too complex to understand unless you are versatile or trained personnel. Those books are specially designed for particular accounting entry.

Sometimes sharing your financial records may not be necessary, if you can keep it well so you can use it when it is needed. You can make it a soft copy
It is not advisable to be sharing one's business account unless it is a public limited company. Even most accounts revealed by public companies do not actually represent their true account information. Account information needed to be secured and guided.

A versatile person with basic accounting skills can easily use Quick Book. You just need to have a knowledge of software and navigation backed with a knowledge of basic accounting principles to find your way round it .

Probably, but if you're running a business you can publish your financial record every year. There are some businesses that do it and they are still making a lot of profit.

This is for limited liability companies. Thy publish their financial statements every year for the government to use and determine the amount of tax they should pay. It is not proper for a small business to disclose it's financials..
