CBK Pros

Mental health matters, and every step (and every dollar) makes a difference. Whether you can join us on walk day or support us with a donation, you're helping NAMI provide free resources, education, and advocacy for people living with mental illness and their families.

Let's walk together for a cause that touches so many of us. 🙌

On Friday, Team CBK was proud to be part of something bigger — thank you, United Way, for having us!

We spent the morning packing, organizing, and working alongside incredible people, all in support of the food distribution effort. From sorting boxes to loading them up for families in need, every task reminded us why community work matters so much.

There's something truly special about rolling up your sleeves alongside people who care as much as you do. The energy, the teamwork, the shared purpose — it was a morning we won't forget.

Grateful for the chance to give back and be part of a community that shows up for one another.
Here's to more mornings like this one! 💪🌟

✅ YES, You Can Probably Deduct That

Tax season stress usually comes from one thing: not knowing what actually counts. So let's clear up some of the confusion — here's what's commonly deductible for small business owners 👆

The key word across all of these? Ordinary and necessary for running your business. That's the IRS standard — not "nice to have," but genuinely part of how you operate.

💡 Pro tip: The businesses that get flagged aren't usually the ones taking legitimate deductions — they're the ones who can't back them up. Keep receipts, keep records, and when in doubt, ask before you write it off.

Confused about what applies to YOUR business specifically? That's literally what we're here for. 📊

If most of your revenue comes from one or two clients, your business might feel stable, until it isn't.

A canceled contract, a slow payment, a client who moves on. It can happen fast, and it can hit hard.

A few questions worth sitting with: What percent of your revenue comes from your top client? Could you cover payroll and expenses without them for a few months? What's your plan for finding your next big client, before you need one?

A good rule of thumb: if any single client is more than 20-25% of your revenue, it's time to start diversifying who you rely on.

Loyal clients are great. Depending on them for survival isn't.

Not sure how concentrated your revenue really is? Let's look at your numbers together.

Being a business owner? Chic.
Being a mom? Chic.
Supporting women? Chic.
Helping your community thrive? VERY chic. ✨

And being part of a team that helps business owners grow? That’s the real flex. 💼✨

Here’s to building businesses, supporting each other, and growing together. 🤍
