We hear this question often, especially when a business owner sees their tax bill and thinks, “There’s no way I made that much money. There’s nothing left in the bank.”
 
The key is this: profit and cash are not the same thing. That is why we believe tax planning should not only focus on lowering taxes. It should also help you understand your cash flow. Because saving taxes is helpful, but staying ahead of your cash flow is what helps your business feel stable.

Louisiana voters will see Amendment 4 on the ballot on May 16, 2026.

This amendment focuses on property taxes on business inventory, including merchandise, manufacturing supplies, and production materials.
Note that it does not apply to personal property taxes or your home. This amendment is specifically about business inventory.

Currently, Louisiana’s constitution requires business inventory to be taxed using 15% of fair market value. A YES vote would give parishes the ability to decide whether to keep, reduce, or eliminate the tax. A NO vote would keep the current state-required structure in place.

Supporters say the current tax can disincentivize businesses from operating or expanding in Louisiana and adds complexity to business taxes. Opponents say reducing or eliminating it could impact funding for local services like schools, law enforcement, and infrastructure.

Early voting is May 2 through May 9, excluding Sunday, May 3, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Election Day is Saturday, May 16, 2026.

As always, our goal is to help you understand what’s on the ballot so you can make an informed decision.

Your Q1 books can tell you a lot about where your business is headed.

In times of inflation or economic uncertainty, keeping an eye on revenue, expenses, profitability, and cash flow can help you make more confident decisions for the rest of the year.

Clean books don’t just keep you organized — they help you plan ahead.

Self-employed and think tax savings are off the table? Not so fast.

There are still smart moves you can make, even after year-end, to potentially lower your 2025 tax bill.

Here’s the reality:

Some strategies are gone, but others are still very much in play.

A few areas we’re helping clients with right now:
• catching missed business expenses
• reviewing home office, vehicle, and insurance deductions
• maximizing retirement contributions like SEP IRAs and Solo 401(k)s
• making sure S-Corp details are handled correctly

And just as important, knowing what is too late so you can focus on what actually moves the needle.

A quick review today can turn into real savings.

If you haven’t taken a second look at your 2025 numbers yet, this is your sign. Message us or reach out to get started.

Trump Accounts are getting a lot of attention, and for good reason.
 
If you have a child who may qualify, it is worth understanding the basics, including who is eligible, how the account works, when funds may be available, and what restrictions may apply.
 
We put this quick guide together to help simplify the key details and give families a clear starting point.
 
As always, the fine print matters. Eligibility rules, elections, contribution limits, and withdrawal rules should all be reviewed carefully before making a decision.
