You're tired of tax deadlines...

I'm tired of tax deadlines...

Let's just get through the ones on the next slide, then I'm officially hibernating until year-end close.😴

I know it's tempting to think the IRS isn't gonna care about your $7 PSL... but business owners need to know the ~legit~ way to deduct your coffee. ☕

Bad bookkeepers don't want you to know this one trick! 🤫

You can click a little button in your bookkeeping software and do your own independent verification of whether your bookkeeper is ~actually~ doing what you hired them to do.

It's called a reconciliation report!

Running this for each bank account + credit card statement shows the last date that account was reconciled.

If it's been more than a few months and your bookkeeper was supposedddd to be handling those... not good. 😬

Giving myself the Lifetime Bookkeeping Achievement Award for cleaning up 4 years of transactions for one of my favorite contractors! 🏆🤍

I solemnly swear that I am NEVER going to email you your financial statements with a blank message, just PDF attachments, and expect you to decode your own P&L.

Yes, I'm going to show you what happened last month...

But I'm also going to point out which numbers changed (and by how much), ~why~ that matters for your business, and which questions I think you should be asking next.

Knowing your bottom line is great, but seeing *how* you got there helps you repeat profitable months over and over again!

Can I be honest for a minute?

I enjoyedddd my summer! 🤭

I relaxed and let myself breathe a little...

And I basically said I'd circle back this fall to focus on other things in the business.

Welp, it's almost fall! 🍂

So, here's the checklist I'm personally following to reset + refresh my business in September (and guess what, it's coincidentally perfect for contractors, too!).

Just so you know, I'm violently against people chewing loudly + you couldn't pay me to sit in a room and listen to someone do just that...

But when it comes to a contractor who wants to finalllly know where all their money is going? THAT'S ALL ME! 🙂‍↕️

When you hire me, your tax accountant instantly gets a new bestie to help them get everything they need to file your taxes! 📨

I'm more than happy to be a resource! Instead of you having to worry more during tax season, I can send your financial statements, answer any questions, and help the process move along for everyone a wholeeee lot smoother!

So if you're cool adding a third to your tax-season group chat, hmu! 📲

I've already got my contractor first-round draft picks ready... 🤫

First up, I've got the contractor who's finally ready to clean up 24 months of their bookkeeping, and the contractor who would rather spend their time working on their business than categorizing transactions. 👀

My sleeper pick? The contractor who already knows they want their 1099s handled for them this January. 🙂‍↕️

Contractors, you're officially on my bookkeeping client fantasy draft board! Click the link in my bio to secure your spot on the By The Books team. 🔗

Tbh, I think every contractor needs to be planning for the best + worst-case scenarios every quarter! 📈

The last thing you want is for unexpected expenses to derail everything you've worked so hard for!

When you model these scenarios, you can be prepared justttt in case the worst (or best!!!) things happen.

P.S. Your projections are only as good as the numbers you base them on... so if you need clean financials, DM me! 📲
