Can you believe we're in the last months of the year? But nonetheless, here we are. 🍂

And this is the perfect moment to get our books in order before the holiday season comes.

Two things worth putting on your radar:

📌 October 15 = the filing deadline if you're on extension. Last big date on the tax calendar for most people.

📌 Q4 = catch-up time. If we've been asking you for documents, statements, or an answer to a question, now's the moment. And if something's changed in your business this year (new entity, new account, new hire) tell us now, not in January.

When things come in late, everything downstream gets delayed. We'd much rather bug you now than scramble later.

So if you've been meaning to get back to us, consider this your friendly nudge. 😉

Harvest season in Napa has a way of reminding you what this valley runs on. 🍇

Having grown up in this community, I know firsthand how hardworking the people of Napa are. There are the crews out in the vineyards before sunrise. The baristas at my favorite coffee shop who remember my order. The servers who make the busy dinner rush look easy. The shop owners and the folks behind the counters. The parents who work all day and still show up for practice, rehearsal, and everything in between.

This valley runs on people who show up.

So whether you're in the middle of crush or just in the middle of a busy week: we see you. We appreciate you. And we hope you find a little time to rest 🫶

Don't leave yourself for last.

Most business owners pay themselves whatever's left over. Sometimes, there's nothing left. Sound familiar?

We are too tied to the culture of self-sacrifice. You need to invest in growth, not suffer for growth. From experience, I know this tends to be easily solved with previous financial planning.

Flip it. Put your paycheck on the list with your other bills. It's just as important as rent, insurance, or payroll. Even if it's a small amount at first, make it consistent.

Treating your income as a fixed cost will help you build a business that actually supports you. It's not a business you're sacrificing for indefinitely. ❤️‍🩹

We're proud to be growing as a team, especially when we find people like Natalia, who share our vision and understand the importance of our work. Bookkeeping goes beyond moving numbers; it gives business owners peace of mind and the freedom to focus on what they want.

Expanding the team is not just about adding more people; the key is finding individuals who care about the details as much as we do because that's what ensures consistent bookkeeping month after month. We're so glad she's here.

You may see her name in your inbox soon. Welcome to the team, Natalia! 👏

One money habit worth adopting before year-end 👇

If your business collects sales tax, set up a separate account for it. That money trickles in a little at a time with every sale, but when the deadline hits, it adds up fast. And it's never a fun surprise when it's not there.

Collect it, move it, and don't touch it until it's due.

It's a simple habit that saves a lot of stress come tax time. If you're not doing it yet, now's a great time to start.

It's National Financial Awareness Day. So… Do you actually know where your P&L is? 📊

We'd say mid-August is the perfect time to do a pulse check. Books caught up? Numbers make sense? If tax time always feels like a surprise you saw coming but ignored anyway, you're not the only one.

No judgment. Most business owners didn't sign up to do their own bookkeeping. That's kind of the whole reason we're here.

The Napa Town & Country Fair is here, and for our family, that means JLAC week. 🐖

The Junior Livestock Advisory Committee show is Wednesday, and the auction follows on Saturday. My son Chase will be showing pigs, and I'll be at the fairgrounds all week, bookkeeper by trade, livestock mom by heart.

If you've never been, it's worth coming out. These kids work hard all year for this.

🗓️ Show: Wednesday, August 5, starting at 8am
🗓️ Auction: Saturday, August 8, registration at 8am, auction starts at 9am

Grateful to be part of a community that shows up for its young people like this. For more information, be sure to check out napajrlivestock.com.

A little summer bookkeeping wisdom 💡

Summer tends to be the quiet season, with fewer fires (knock on wood) and more breathing room. Which makes it the perfect time to get your books current.

Here's what's coming: extension deadlines are in September and October, and that's when the scramble starts for anyone who's behind. A few hours of catch-up now saves a stressful fall later.

Our advice? Don't wait until December. Now is the easier time to deal with it, and if you'd like a hand getting caught up, we're here.
