Does one person at your business pay the bills and balance the bank account? That’s common in small businesses, and it’s also where a lot of fraud starts.

You don’t need a bigger staff to fix it. Having the owner look over the bank statements each month goes a long way. Here’s a practical guide: https://buff.ly/pHGDHcj

Nonprofit friends: this year, donors who don’t itemize can deduct up to $1,000 in cash gifts ($2,000 for couples). That’s a lot of supporters who’ve never had a tax reason to give before.

Here’s how to work it into your year-end appeals:

(image from pexels.com) By Harry Lynch Whether you think the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed in July 2025 was beautiful — or an ugly legislative mistake — it’s probably not the hottest topic at your nonprofit’s water cooler. If you are a fundraiser, maybe it should be. The changes to tax l...

Did your business pay tariffs on imported parts or supplies last year? Some of that money may be coming back.

Refunds are being processed now, but whether you can claim one depends on whether you imported the goods yourself or bought through a supplier. A refund can affect your taxes too. Here’s what to check: https://buff.ly/9B61wnB

Southern contractors have more work lined up than anywhere else in the country, about 10 months of backlog on average. But materials costs are up 11% from last year, and a lot of contractors expect thinner margins ahead.

Busy and profitable don’t always go together. Knowing what each job is actually costing you makes the difference.

For the fifth month in a row, nonresidential construction spending grew—thanks to data centers.

The 2027 Social Security numbers are out. The wage cap goes up to $192,300, so higher earners and their employers will pay a little more next year.

Self-employed? You pay both halves, so factor the new cap into your 2027 estimates.

The Social Security Administration announced a 3.6% cost-of-living adjustment for 2027 and increased the Social Security wage base to $192,300. The annual update also includes changes to retirement earnings limits and other indexed Social Security amounts that affect taxpayers and employers.

Did your company’s 401(k) grow this year? Once a plan passes about 100 participants, it needs an independent audit, and nobody sends a letter to tell you.

That’s where Gretchen Lozes Fischer comes in. She leads our team that handles these audits, and works with local nonprofits, schools and businesses too. Off the clock, you’ll find her serving on the board of Christopher Homes.

Wondering whether that BOI report from 2024 is coming back around? It’s not.

In August, the government made it permanent: U.S. businesses no longer have to file beneficial ownership reports. (Companies formed outside the U.S. still do.)

If you filed one back then, keep a copy with your business records and you’re set. Here’s what changed: https://buff.ly/7Jn7ibD

Does your family run a business where Mom and Dad are the general partners and the kids are listed as limited partners?

The federal appeals court that covers Louisiana just ruled that a limited partner can’t be the one managing or running the business. If the kids are running the day-to-day and signing the contracts, the old setup may not protect their share from self-employment tax anymore.

Not sure where your family stands? Give us a call at and we’ll take a look.
