If you own a business and track your mileage, or have employees that receive mileage, the mileage rate went up effective July 1st to 76 cents, instead of the 72.5 cents effective January 1st. It's the 5th time since 2005 that the IRS did a mileage rate revision mid-year.

Big changes are coming!

After a lot of thought and reflection, I’ve decided to rebrand my bookkeeping business. This wasn’t an easy decision. I’ve poured a lot of heart into the name Walkers Bookkeeping Services LLC, and it will always hold a special place for me.

That said, growth often means change. I’ve officially received my Certificate of Assumed Name from the State of Michigan, and I’ll soon be operating under a new name that better reflects where I’m headed and the vision I have for the future.

I’m excited to share more soon. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and my business along the way. Your encouragement means the world. 🙏

I believe I'm going to start a referral program.

If someone refers a client to me, that person will receive $50. I'm still debating. What do you all think?

💡 Should You Keep Business Receipts?

A question many small business owners ask, and the short answer is: yes!

It might not seem like a big deal at the moment, but keeping receipts (even for small purchases) is a smart habit that can save you big headaches later. While it’s ultimately up to you as the business owner, having proper documentation is key if the IRS (everyone's favorite) ever comes knocking. 📂💼

✨ The IRS typically wants to see three things:

- The date of the expense

- The amount spent

- The business purpose of the transaction

🧾 What counts as acceptable documentation?

- Paper or digital receipts

- Bank or credit card statements

- Invoices

- Mileage logs (apps or handwritten)

- Written records for cash expenses

🔍 Pro Tip: No receipt? A quick written note explaining what you bought, when, and why it was for business is better than nothing, especially for small cash expenses.

📱 Need help tracking everything? There are great solutions out there (like Expensify, QuickBooks, Hubdoc, etc. ) that make it super easy to stay organized.

Start the habit now, your future self (and your accountant) will thank you!

Good afternoon!

Just a quick heads-up, I’ve been getting a ton of spam calls on my business number lately. I’ll do my best to answer, but if I miss your call, I promise it’s not on purpose.

If that happens, please leave a voicemail, send a text, or message me here on Facebook. With all the spam coming through, texting or messaging me is probably the quickest way to reach me for now.

Thanks so much for understanding! 🙌

Good morning & Happy Friday, everyone! 🇺🇸

In honor of Veteran’s Day, I’m doing something special for my fellow Vets.

🗓️ Starting Monday, October 20 through November 11, any Veteran-owned business that signs up for my bookkeeping services will get their first month completely FREE.

As a Veteran myself, this means a lot to me. I met some incredible people during my time in service, and like many, I’ve lost brothers and sisters along the way... some during their time in service, and others who lost their battles at home. This is just one small way I can give back to the Veteran community that will always have my heart. ❤️🤍💙

To qualify, all I need is a quick verification of Veteran status (driver’s license with “Veteran,” Veteran ID, DD-214, etc).

Thank you for your service. 🙏
Let’s support each other, always. 💪

Please share this to anyone you know who's a veteran that owns a business and may need some bookkeeping assistance.

The best part about running a bookkeeping business? The beauty standards are blissfully low. Sure, you’ve got to look presentable, but no one’s expecting a runway model, you're already pegged as the numbers nerd. The bar for appearance is basically underground. Let’s be honest, we can’t all be Henry Cavill... and luckily, we don’t have to be.
