If you filed for a tax extension back in April, October 15 is coming up fast. I tell clients that the three weeks before an extended deadline are exactly when a little bit of bookkeeping catch up saves a lot of stress later. Get your bank accounts reconciled, make sure expenses are categorized, and hand your CPA a clean set of books instead of a shoebox of receipts. It makes their job easier and usually saves you money too. If you are staring down October 15 and your QuickBooks file needs some attention, now is the time to reach out, not the week before.
