Before year-end, is your compensation still making sense for your business?

Changes in your business, income, profitability, or financial goals can all be good reasons to review how you’re paying yourself.

But remember: none of these automatically means your salary is wrong.

They’re simply signs that it may be worth having a conversation with your accountant or tax professional before the year ends.

A year-end review can help you better understand your current situation and make informed decisions for the months ahead.

Don’t wait until tax season to start asking questions. October is a great time to review your numbers and plan ahead.

Before the year gets away from you, give your business finances a quick checkup.

The year isn’t over yet, which means there’s still time to spot issues, make adjustments, and get your financial house in better shape before year-end.

Here are a few things worth reviewing:
• Are your bank and credit card accounts reconciled?
• Are your income and expenses categorized correctly?
• Do you have outstanding invoices or unpaid bills?
• Are your financial reports accurate and up to date?
• Are you on track with your budget and cash flow?
• Is there anything you need to address before year-end?

Don’t wait until December to find out something needs fixing. October is a great time to get ahead.

Happy Spreadsheet Day! Are spreadsheets your best friend or your biggest headache?

For many business owners, spreadsheets are a go-to tool for tracking sales, expenses, budgets, client information, and just about everything in between.

But when your spreadsheet starts getting complicated, keeping your financial information accurate and organized can become a full-time job.

So, be honest:
Are you the business owner who loves a perfectly organized spreadsheet, or does the sight of endless rows and columns make you want to close your laptop?

October is here and “I’ll worry about taxes later” is getting harder to say.

There’s still time to review your tax situation and make informed decisions before the year comes to a close.

Talk with your tax professional about:
• How much you should be setting aside for taxes
• Whether your estimated tax payments need adjusting
• Deductions and tax credits you may qualify for
• Year-end purchases and expenses
• Retirement contributions
• Changes in your income or business
• Tax-planning opportunities before year-end

The key is to start the conversation before December not after the year is already over.
Your year-end tax strategy can be easier to manage when you give yourself time to review your numbers, ask questions, and plan ahead.
