📚 If you haven't heard about "The Let Them Theory", Mel Robbin's newest book, it's going to change your WHOLE perspective on difficult situations.

When you're in a situation where you feel like you're trying to control someone else, take a step back and just "let them".

The freedom that comes from letting go of what you can't control can be life-changing!

I’ve had enough of the scarcity mindset... here are a few principles from an ABUNDANCE mindset that you can use when reviewing your financial reports:

ABUNDANT OPPORTUNITIES

When you’re looking at your P&L, check out which of your products/services is bringing in the most money.

How can you leverage that success to create even MORE success?

GROWTH IS COMING

What can you invest in NOW to help your business grow in the future?

Do you have additional money for a new ad campaign or to hire an assistant?

Numbers can be SCARY for so many people, I want to help you make the mindset shift to see the abundance that’s out there for the taking!

Feel like you’re drowning in receipts? Let’s bring your business into the 21st century! ↓

Going paperless is SO much easier when it comes to your receipts, plus it’s eco-friendly. 🌎

Unless you’re keeping your receipts in a fireproof, waterproof file folder that you’re definitely going to bring with you on every move... there’s a chance your physical storage isn’t all that secure! 🔐

Instead, here’s what I want you to do:

If you get a receipt via email,
download it and upload it to a Google Drive folder (or whatever your preferred cloud-based storage method is). 🗂️

If you have a physical receipt, you can use your phone to create a scanned copy and upload it to the same place!

As your accountant, this is going to make BOTH of our lives so much easier. 📚

📧 SUBJECT LINE: Monthly Financial Statements

Here’s what I want you to do when this email hits your inbox:

LOOK AT YOUR BOTTOM LINE

Naturally, the first thing you want to do is look at the net income (the bottom line) shown on your P&L! This is what you’ve earned on a pre-tax basis. Congrats!

CHECK OUT YOUR CASH FLOW

Regardless of whether or not you receive a cash flow statement, you’ll want to look at the cash balance shown on your balance sheet and see how that’s changed month-over-month.

If your cash balance is significantly up or down, do you know why?

WRITE DOWN ANY QUESTIONS

Part of the reason clients hire me is to help them truly understand their finances, I want to be a resource for you!

If you own an S corporation or a partnership, you've got a BIG tax deadline coming up in March!

🍀 March 17th is the due date for Form 1065 (partnerships or multi-member LLCs) and Form 1120-S (S corporations).

REMINDER: You can file for an automatic six-month extension for either of these returns, but you MUST do so by March 17th.

If you need to extend your business tax return, it might be a good idea to file an extension for your personal tax return too!

Tax Day is right around the corner... April 15th will be here before you know it! 😅

The only way to make your next month easier is to start prepping now:

1️⃣ If you own a business, make sure your 2024 bookkeeping is completed.

2️⃣ Gather all your tax documents and send them to your tax accountant.

3️⃣ If you pay estimated taxes, mark your calendar so you don't forget to pay those along with any taxes due on April 15th.

4️⃣ Don't forget about state tax deadlines too! Check with your tax accountant to see whether you need to file any state tax returns or make any payments.

Is it the END of the world if you miss reconciling your accounts for a month?

NOPE! 🚫

I’ll let you in on a little secret - I’ve gotten more than a month behind on my own bookkeeping before.

BUT, I always make sure to get caught up as quickly as I can when I realize I haven’t reconciled my accounts.

Here’s why:

The longer you go without reconciling your accounts, the harder it gets to fix errors that would’ve been caught when your accounts were reconciled...

For example, you typically only have 60 days to dispute a fraudulent credit card charge. 📆

Having up-to-date data to run your business starts with great bookkeeping!

This is a SUPER valid question:

If my bank accounts are connected to my bookkeeping software automatically, do I even need a bookkeeper?

YES, and here’s why:

Getting all of your transactions entered into your software is a big first step, but bookkeeping doesn’t stop there.

You still need to categorize all of your transactions (the RIGHT way), reconcile your accounts, and more!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so I want to chat about the effect finances can have on your mental health.

According to a 2023 study by Bankrate, more than HALF of Americans name money as the number one stressor in their lives. 💸

To put it into perspective, money was cited *more* often as harming mental health than health, current events, relationships, and work!

A big part of my mission is helping people feel LESS stressed about their business finances, and here are my best tips that apply to all aspects of your finances:

1️⃣ Guestimating how much money you have coming in and going out is A LOT more stressful than actually knowing those amounts.

2️⃣ Fixing a money situation usually takes longer than you'd think! Don't make it more stressful than it needs to be by placing unrealistic timelines on yourself.

3️⃣ We're not born knowing how to manage our money perfectly, it's why the financial software market is a BILLION dollar industry.

While I am passionate about helping your business achieve financial success, I am equally passionate about your personal finances. Reach out to me if you would like any help with getting your finances in order or how to create systems to reach your goals!

Choosing not to file this FREE report could cost you up to $591/day* in penalties... and it’s just not worth it!

If you own an LLC, corporation, or any other entity formed by filing a document with the secretary of state (or similar office), you may be required to file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report.

What’s the good news? This report is free to file and there is no annual reporting requirement.

That means if you do this the right way once (and have no BOI changes), you’re good to go!

*Inflation-adjusted penalty as of April 18, 2024.

Has it been just a few months... or has it been so long that you don't KNOW how long it's been since you took a good look at your numbers? 🤔

When you ignore your bookkeeping, you can miss things like:

→ Fraudulent Charges
→ Unused Subscriptions
→ Overdue Invoices
→ Tax Deductible Expenses

All of these things add up! 💰

The bottom line is: ignoring your finances is costing you (and your business) money.

I’m going to save you a thousand Google searches with this one answer...

It depends.🤔

When it comes to getting an answer to a tax question correct, the most important thing is CONTEXT.

Are you guilty of NOT paying yourself as a business owner?🖐️

I see it over and over again... a new client comes to me and they’re RARELY paying themselves as much as they could be!

Whether you don’t know how to pay yourself (it varies based on how your business is structured!), or you simply don’t know how much to pay yourself... you owe it to yourself to find out! 💸

A great bookkeeper can help you figure out how much you have left over for yourself after running your business.

Let’s run through some of the pros & cons of each option!

Hiring In-House:

✅ Long-term commitment
✅ Control your employee’s schedule

❌ Higher payroll costs
❌ Potentially higher benefits costs
❌ Additional compliance with federal & state employment laws

Outsourcing:

✅ Flexible to end your engagement at the end of a contract
✅ No payroll tax/employee benefits costs
✅ Can bring in for special projects that require unique skills
❌ No control over schedule or training
❌ Can lose a contractor at the end of a contract to a different opportunity

Whichever option you choose, please make sure you’re classifying your new team members correctly to avoid running into major problems with the Department of Labor!

If you were going to give your bookkeeper (or yourself) an A+ on their report card, here's what needs to be done:

✅ Reconciling your accounts in a timely manner.

How can you check on this?

Run your latest reconciliation reports to see the last date your account was reconciled.

If it was more than two months ago, something needs to change!

✅ Correctly categorizing your income and expenses.

Is your bookkeeper splitting out your interest and principal payments on your loan?

Are they catching any personal expenses that accidentally went on your business credit card?

Incorrectly categorizing your transactions can have big consequences at tax time!

✅ Providing you with useful financial reporting.

A great bookkeeper helps you understand and track your financial performance towards your business goals!
