"Hey, quick admin thing! Could you send me your completed W-9 for my records? Thank you!"

That's it. That's the text! πŸ“²

If you're paying contractors (like a virtual assistant or social media manager), you may need to issue them a 1099-NEC.

To do this, you need their legal name and taxpayer ID... which comes from their W-9.

Ideally, you should get a new contractor's W-9 as part of your onboarding process before you ever pay them (but trust me, as a small business owner and CPA, I know this isn't always how it works in practice).

If they hesitate or ask why, just let them know it's an IRS requirement for businesses with contractors!

If your CPA isn't having these conversations with you now... You could be limiting the tax planning strategies that you have in your arsenal.

The longer you wait to tax plan (especialllly if you wait until after year-end), the fewer options you have.

If you're a small business owner who's ready to get proactive about your taxes, use the link in my bio to schedule your tax planning session this month! πŸ“†

Tax season has a not-so-funny way of exposing every single weak spot in your bookkeeping. πŸ™ƒ

When your books are behind, tax season gets even less fun...

Your return gets extended.

The bill from your CPA has a painfully high line item for "reviewing a shoebox of receipts".

And it's nearly impossible to be sure you've captured every write-off. 🀷

I help small business owners get their books cleaned up, caught up, and handled going forward so that you don't dread tax season anymore!

So if tax season humbled you, clicking the link in my bio might just be the solution. 😜

Small business owners, my best tax advice is to make sure your business is set up to work *for* you, not cost you money in the background. πŸ’Έ

It all starts with your entity! The IRS treats sole proprietorships, LLCs, and S corporations differently from a tax perspective, so the "best" setup is going to depend on your unique business.

I also want to make sure you have a solid bookkeeping system in place that's actually capturing all of your income and expenses. πŸ“š

And finally, I think you should be working with an accountant who understands the ins + outs of your business. There's a big difference between generic tax prep and a strategy based on the common expenses, credits, and pain points for small business owners.

I found over $3k in duplicated income the month one of my bookkeeping client's bank accounts un-synced from Quickbooks... 😳

That's the kind of mistake where if you aren't reconciling (matching your bookkeeping to your statements), you would've overstated your income and paid waaay more in taxes.

It's the kind of thing that isn't always super obvious, but it's why I insist that EVERYONE reconcile their accounts on a regular basis.

Reconciling helps you flag those duplicate, missing, or simply wrong transactions before they become bigger issues! πŸ’Έ

Proud of you for filing your taxes. I mean it! 🫢

But if this tax season didn't go as smoothly as you hoped, swipe for the tax homework I'm assigning to you.

Do these things this May if you want a waaay less stressful time next April!

Stresstober is totally avoidable, btw.

If you extended your taxes, this is your reminder that you absolutely do not (and should not) have to wait until you're shopping for Halloween costumes to file. πŸŽƒ

This is also a very polite request from your tax accountant to avoid waiting until the fall craziness of last-minute filers.

If you want clean books by this summer, here's your to-do list ↓

Hire a bookkeeper (preferably me!!). πŸ“š

It'll take you like two seconds (read: 5 minutes) to fill out my New Client form.

Then, if you start working with me in May, here's what I'll do for you:

β†’ run a full diagnostic to see what's going on behind-the-scenes in your books

β†’ get you fully onboarded so that I have all the access + data I need for your file

β†’ clean up + reconcile your accounts so that your financials are *actually* useful

β†’ create a game plan to keep your bookkeeping caught up from here on out

Don't spend your summers worrying about bookkeeping!
