If you filed an extension back in April, consider this your friendly one-week nudge. 📌

October 15 is next week!

Pull together your income documents, any 1099s or W-2s, and last year's return for reference.

Getting this together now, instead of the day before, makes the whole thing painless.

Every year I send this reminder, and every year someone tells me they had completely forgotten. That's exactly why I send it.

If we are going to show up in your inbox, we want the email to be useful. 💌

Once a month, we send the deadlines, numbers, and small financial moves worth knowing before the month gets away from you.

I write it myself, usually with coffee, and I keep it to what I would actually want to read.

Short, useful, and written like a person instead of a finance textbook.

Want a better Q4? Start with this five-minute Q3 check. 📊

Pull your July through September numbers and look at four things:
→ What came in?
→ What did you spend?
→ What did you actually keep?
→ What is still sitting in unpaid invoices?

Then pick one thing that needs your attention in Q4.

Maybe it is collecting what you are owed, cutting an expense, adjusting pricing, or building up cash before year end.

I run this same check on my own business every quarter, and it is the fastest five minutes on my calendar.

It is also how we open the Q4 conversation with every client.

One of our favorite habits to recommend? A standing twenty-minute money date every Friday. 📅

Same time, every week. Check your bank balance, see who owes you money, and see what is heading out before Monday.

That's it.

Twenty minutes a week keeps you completely on top of things, no big quarterly catch-up required.

Your financial support should help you understand your business, not just keep up with the books. 📊

That’s exactly what Mercy Quaye of The Narrative Project found working with ICS. When her business needed more than bookkeeping, having the right support in her corner gave her a clearer way forward.

Good accounting gives you more than accurate numbers. It gives you something solid to make decisions from.

Hear it from Mercy herself. 💛

One month from today, we hit the fourth quarter, and we want you walking in feeling genuinely good about your numbers. 🎉

October is when we start locking in Q4 planning for the businesses we work with, and we would love for yours to be one of them.

If your books need a refresh, or you've never had a real finance partner in your corner, now is a great time to start that conversation.

One of our longest clients gets a clean close from us on the same day every single month, and she loves how easy that makes January. 🌟

Her accounts are reconciled, every expense is categorized, and she always knows her actual profit margin, without lifting a finger.

If you can't say the same heading into Q4, it's not too late.

Simplify your finances. Grow with confidence.

Last Sunday, my family and I attended the Dinner on the Farm event hosted by Massaro Community Farm of Woodbridge, CT, and we had an absolute blast! It was our first time, and we'll definitely be back next year.

The charcuterie board was beautifully laid out and full of goodies.

We also got a tour of the farm from Executive Director Steve Munno, who shared their vision for the land and what's ahead. Dinner was amazing, the service was great, and so was the vibe.

The kids had their own pavilion, where they enjoyed dinner, did arts and crafts, visited the chickens, and fed the goats. They loved every minute of it!

It was wonderful connecting with new and familiar faces.

I also had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Karen DuBois-Walton, President of The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven, for the first time. We talked about our shared passion for working with nonprofits that serve our community and how we can continue supporting them.

Thank you, Massaro Community Farm, for such a memorable evening!

Quick math for the service-based owners, and a genuinely fun number to know. 🧮

Take your revenue, subtract your total costs, divide by revenue, multiply by 100.

That's your profit margin.

15 percent is about average. Above 20, you have real room to grow and reinvest.

Save this and run the numbers this weekend, it feels great to actually know.

Want us to run it for you and build a plan around it?

Fifteen minutes now sets up a genuinely smooth January.
