In many cases, a qualifying business loss can reduce taxable income, which may lower your overall tax bill.

However, there are rules that can limit how much of a loss you can deduct in the current year. Some losses may instead carry forward to future years.

Talk with a tax professional to understand how the rules apply to your specific business and tax situation.

This is also why accurate bookkeeping matters.

You need to know your real income, expenses, and profit or loss before you can properly plan for taxes.

Catch up and clean up bookkeeping may sound similar, but they solve different problems.

You need catch up bookkeeping if your books are behind and transactions haven’t been recorded for several months or longer.

Catch up bookkeeping can include:
- Entering missing transactions
- Catching up bank and credit card accounts
- Bringing your books completely up to date

You need clean up bookkeeping if your transactions have been recorded, but your books contain errors or inaccurate balances.

Clean up bookkeeping can include:
- Fixing miscategorized transactions
- Reconciling accounts
- Correcting balances and bookkeeping errors

And sometimes, your books need both a catch up and a clean up.

Not sure what your books need?

Not all business expenses are treated the same!

Some are everyday costs of running your business, while others are purchases that provide value over a longer period of time.

Knowing the difference matters because how an expense is recorded can affect your financial reports and tax liability.

Not sure your expenses are being recorded correctly? That’s where we can help!

Don’t pull your 2027 goals out of thin air!

Start with your actual 2026 numbers.

Here’s what to look at:

- Revenue: What did you actually bring in this year?

- Profit: How much did you keep after expenses?

- Expenses: Where did you overspend or where could you cut back?

- Cash flow: Which months were tight and which were strong?

- Best sellers: Which services or products made you the most money?

- Budget vs. actual: Where did you miss or exceed your targets?

Then use those numbers to set realistic revenue goals, build your budget, plan expenses, and forecast your cash flow for 2027.

Your 2026 numbers should help you decide what to do differently in 2027.

But you need accurate, up-to-date books to plan with accurate numbers, and that’s where we can help.

I know booking that first discovery call with a bookkeeper can feel scary, but trust me...

There's nothing to be worried about! I'm not judging your business; I'm just learning where you're at and how I can best help you.

This shouldn't be a one sided convo. This is your opportunity to ask me what's included, what it'll cost, and what *exactly* you'll get each month with me as your bookkeeper.
