OPENING MULTIPLE BANK ACCOUNT
It is advisable to open multiple business accounts separate from your savings account this would enable you to separate business spending from your spending.
Opening multiple bank accounts for your business can help you manage your finances more effectively and help you stay organized.
BENEFITS FOR HAVING FOUR DIFFERENT ACCOUNT FOR YOUR BUSINESS
FUNDS SEPARATION:
a. Operational Account: is your primary account, also known as your business account, which could be opened with your business name, where you handle your day-to-day transactions such as receiving payments and paying for business expenses examples for Deposits are customer payments while Withdrawals are Rent, utilities, supplies, and other expenses.
.
b. Savings Account: It is an account opened with your name, where you set aside money for future investment, expenses, and large spending.
c. Tax Account: Most of us as business owners shy away from paying taxes but a day in the life of a business owner when you would need a tax clearance and if you haven't been paying, the government would not grant a clearance. A tax account helps you set aside funds specifically for taxes.
d. Payroll Account: to manage employee salaries and related official expenses. As a business owner, you are entitled to earn a salary, your name would be on the payroll and the money goes to your savings account.
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT:
a. Managing our finances enables us to allocate funds properly.
b. it helps us to be more precise when transferring funds.
c. It helps us to monitor cash flow.
d. it helps us to manage a healthy business.
ACCOUNTABILITY AND AUDITING: Most businesses neglect proper accountability and auditing when it is very important.
a. it helps the transparency of the business account,
b. it enables the business owner to know when the business is making a profit or when it's at a loss.
c. it gives a good explanation of the business transactions.
RISK MANAGEMENT: There is a saying that all businesses have their own risk, but with multiple accounts, we tend to reduce the risk of Overdraft by ensuring each account has a specific purpose and sufficient funds. Also having multiple accounts protects your funds and limits your losses.

Seems you studied economics, you explained everything in detail as it should. The part of owing multiple accounts touched me, I am going to adopt that method. Keeping all our earnings in one place can lead to unnecessary expenses.
