Closing Your Book: A Year-End Checklist Businesses need a year-end business accounting checklist, helping them finish the year strong and start the next on track.

Cheers to the last hurrah of summer and a holiday weekend spent with the people who matter most. We’re taking today to recharge before we dive back into a busy September!

Nothing means more than hearing from long-time clients.

DSB Rock Island is there when it matters most, helping businesses move forward with confidence.

The DSB Rock Island team recently traveled to Park City, Utah for a retreat focused on connection, collaboration, and culture.

In Park City, a variety of team-building activities helped everyone renew our commitment to the values that define us: staying true to our word, being committed to mastery, and seeking first to serve. Investing in our team is one of the most important ways we invest in our future, and we've made memories to last a lifetime.

We're excited for what's ahead and grateful for the incredible team that makes it all possible!

Let's talk home office deductions! 🏚️

If you're a contractor, freelancer, or business owner working from home, home office deductions can provide significant tax savings.

Common home office expenses may include:

✔️ Paint & repairs
✔️ Built-in shelving
✔️ A portion of utilities, insurance, rent, or mortgage interest
✔️ Internet connection & improvements
✔️ Security devices & locks

To qualify, the space generally must be used regularly and exclusively for business purposes.

Learn more about what qualifies, common mistakes to avoid, and how to document your deduction in our latest article: https://na2.hubs.ly/H07m1hk0
