October is home to some truly unforgettable moments in history that remind us how one bold idea can shift the course of everything that follows. Here are three we are celebrating this month:

🏰 October 1, 1971 - Walt Disney World opened its doors in Orlando, Florida, welcoming families to what would become one of the most recognized destinations on earth. Beyond the rides and the magic, it became a global symbol of American imagination and storytelling, continuing to draw millions of visitors every year.

📞 October 9, 1876 - Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson completed the first long-distance, two-way telephone conversation over outdoor wires, connecting Boston to East Cambridge.

🎵 October 23, 2001 - Steve Jobs introduced the iPod with the now iconic slogan "1,000 songs in your pocket." This changed how we listen to music and laid the groundwork for the iPhone and the modern smartphone era we live in today.

These moments continue to inspire us to think bigger, dream bolder, and never underestimate the lasting impact of one great idea.

Yesterday, a few of our team members stepped away from the office and hit the pavement for the Iowa Healthiest State Annual Walk! 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

It was a great way to get moving, enjoy some fresh air and sun 🌞and spend time together outside of the office.

Our windows at our Milford office are officially dressed for Homecoming! We loved having local high school students stop by and show off their creativity by painting our windows with some serious school spirit!

We’re proud to support the students, schools, and community that make our area such a great place to call home. ❤️

A big THANK YOU to these talented students for bringing a little extra Homecoming spirit to our office! We think the windows look amazing! 👏🎨

Go Okoboji Pioneers! 🏈🎉

There are just about 100 days left in 2026, making now an ideal time to review your tax situation before tax season arrives. Swipe through for a few key tax-planning items worth looking at before the year closes.

The final months of the year often go by quickly, but there is still time to take advantage of planning opportunities before tax season arrives. Even a few small adjustments now may help improve your overall tax picture and reduce stress later.

That said, if you would like to review any of these items or talk through things you can do to set yourself up for success next year, please feel free to reach out to our team. We would be happy to help.

Our office is in the final drive of 2025 tax season & we're determined to finish strong!

The deadline to file your extended individual tax return is Thursday, October 15th. If we haven’t heard your game plan yet, please contact us as soon as possible. Delay-of-game penalties for not filing on time can add up quickly.

Once we cross the goal line, we might even celebrate enough to earn an excessive celebration penalty! 🏈🎉

As we settle into September and the rhythm of a new season, it’s a great time to pause and reflect—not only on where we are, but on where we’re headed.

For business owners, success is often measured by growth, profitability, and reaching important goals. But meaningful success goes beyond the numbers. It’s also about the value we create for our clients, employees, families, and communities.

As a CPA firm, we believe our role is about more than preparing tax returns and financial statements. It’s about helping our clients make informed decisions, plan for the future, and build something that matters.

What is one way you are creating meaningful value for the people you serve?

If you have a child heading to college, there are a number of tax considerations that may come into play — many of which overlap in ways that can be easy to miss.

So, with that in mind, our team wanted to share a quick breakdown of key considerations to help you stay informed. Swipe for more information.

When college expenses are involved, tax considerations rarely stand alone. Dependency status, credits, 529 plans, scholarships, and student income all interact. Reviewing these elements together can help you make more informed decisions and avoid surprises.

Our team is here to help guide you. Give us a call today, and we can get started.

Twenty-five years ago, the world changed, and the courage, resilience, and unity that followed reminded us of what we are capable of in our darkest moments.

On Patriot Day, we pause to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to pay tribute to the first responders, volunteers, and everyday individuals who showed extraordinary strength when it mattered most.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
