As a business grows, there usually comes a time when it makes sense to get help with certain responsibilities.

For some business owners, that means handing off payroll or bookkeeping. For others, it might be hiring someone to manage the website or bringing on their first employee.

We're curious to hear from other business owners: What was the first thing you decided to hire help for as your business grew?

And looking back, is there anything you wish you had handed off sooner?

October is National Women’s Small Business Month, and we want to recognize the women-owned businesses in our community.

From local shops and restaurants to service providers and professional firms, women business owners play an important role in the local economy. We know how much work goes into building and running a business, and we appreciate the people who continue to invest their time and effort into our communities.

We’d love to hear your recommendations! Is there a woman-owned business in Chagrin Falls or the greater Cleveland area that you think more people should know about?

Tag them in the comments and tell us what makes their business worth visiting or supporting.

Have you ever been given a finance tip that has stuck with you ever since?

Maybe it came from a parent, a first boss, a banker, or a mistake you only made once.

"Pay yourself first." "Cash is king." "Never sign a lease you can't cover for six months."

What's the best money advice you've ever gotten for running a business?

Getting a letter from the IRS can be unsettling, especially when you aren't sure what it's about.

But not every IRS notice means there's a serious problem. Sometimes it's a simple adjustment, a missing form, or a request for additional information.

The important thing is not to ignore it or rush to respond. Take time to read the notice, compare it with your tax return, and understand what the IRS is asking for. Be sure to check the response deadline, too.

If you've received an IRS notice and aren't sure what to do, we can help you review it, understand your options, and determine the right next steps.

For contractors, year-end financials can affect more than the tax return.

Surety companies often review working capital, net worth, and how current jobs are performing when they decide how much bonding capacity to provide. Larger bond programs may also require greater CPA involvement in the financial statements.

If taking on bigger projects is part of your 2027 plan, how you prepare your 2026 financials can matter.

This is a good time to make sure the numbers are current, accurate, and ready to support where the business is headed next.

Staying with an accountant who is no longer the right fit is pretty common. For many business owners, switching just sounds like more work than it is worth.

But the process is often simpler than you might expect.

We start with a conversation about your business and what you are looking for in an accountant. From there, we review your previous tax returns and accounting records to get familiar with your finances. If we need additional information from your previous accountant, such as depreciation schedules, we can help coordinate that with your permission.

And if you have been thinking about making a change, fall is a good time to do it. Getting started in October or November gives us time to understand your business and address any questions before tax season arrives.

If you are considering a new accounting firm, we would be happy to talk through what making the switch would look like. Click here to schedule a discovery call: https://scheduler.zoom.us/michael-dolezal/discovery-meeting

If you bought a rental property this year, a little organization now can save a lot of questions later.

These three things are important to keep in one place:

1. Your closing statement, which helps establish the property’s tax basis.

2. The date the property was first ready to rent, since depreciation generally starts when the property is placed in service.

3. Receipts for work completed before the first tenant moved in, because those costs may be treated differently from repairs made later.

If you purchased a rental in Northeast Ohio this year and want to make sure you have the right records saved, we can help you review them before tax season.

If you are hoping to qualify for real estate professional status in 2026, now is a good time to check your hours.

Generally, you need more than 750 hours during the year in real property trades or businesses in which you materially participate. You must also spend more than half of your total working time in real estate.

Just as important is keeping a good record of those hours. A log that includes dates, properties, and the work performed is much easier to support than trying to recreate a year’s worth of activity at tax time.

With a few months left in the year, you still have time to see where you stand and make sure your records are in order.

If you have questions about real estate professional status or other tax considerations related to your properties, we can help. Schedule a discovery call with our team: https://scheduler.zoom.us/michael-dolezal/discovery-meeting

If you filed an extension in April, your extended filing deadline is October 15.

The extension gave you more time to file, but not more time to pay. If you still have a balance due, filing and paying now can help keep additional penalties and interest from continuing to build.

If your documents are mostly together, you still have time to finish the return. And if you are waiting on something like a K-1 or 1099, it is worth addressing it now rather than waiting until the deadline gets closer.

If you are not sure what is still needed or what to do about a missing document, we can help you review the situation and determine the next step.
