Donahue & Associates believes in giving back! We recently participated in the Wisconsin Institute of Certified Public Accountants Educational Foundation’s Reading Makes Cents program.
Did you know April is National Financial Literacy Month? In conjunction, Drew Schuessler visited students at Eastbrook Academy to read a book about the basics of money. Future accountants learned about different ways to earn, save, spend, and donate money.

Super Bowl Sunday reminds us that preparation matters. Teams don’t wait until the final seconds to come up with a game plan—they practice, review footage, and have solid game calling.
With reminders going out and the March 15th deadline approaching for business returns, now is the time to get your tax documents in - don’t wait until the two-minute warning.
When you get your tax documents in early, it gives us time to run the right plays—review everything carefully, look for deductions and credits, fix issues, and avoid penalties or last-minute stress.
Enjoy the game, the snacks, and the commercials on Sunday—and let’s keep your taxes out of overtime.
Thanks for being valued clients, and let’s make this another winning tax season.
