We had some very special visitors at the office this week. 🎃

Our team members’ kids made their rounds trick-or-treating, and it was easily the sweetest part of our week.

Happy Halloween from all of us.

Fewer people than you'd think.

🚨Starting October 1, Treasury is creating Trump Accounts for eligible children who don't already have one. No application is needed for the account to exist.

But until a parent claims it, the account can only receive broad-based contributions from government entities or charities and the $1,000 federal pilot contribution, if a parent made that election separately. Parents, grandparents, and employers can't contribute.

Claiming takes two steps: apply through Treasury's online application, then activate the account with the trustee.

For families with eligible children:
✅Check whether an account already exists.
✅Claim it if anyone plans to contribute.
✅Confirm the $1,000 pilot election was made. Automatic enrollment does not make it for you.

If you're not sure where your child's account stands, our team can help you sort it out.

It’s National Estate Planning Awareness Week. If you own a business, here’s a question worth asking yourself this week: does my estate plan include it?

Planning your estate and planning your business’s future often happen in two different meetings, on two different timelines. We’d rather see them on the same table.

A will names who takes over the business. It doesn’t get the business ready to run without you. That part takes years, and it goes better when it starts early.

Swipe through for what we look at when we put the two plans together.

Most bookkeeping problems stay quiet until tax time.

A reconciliation that slipped in the spring. A personal expense coded to the business over the summer. On their own, they seem small. By year-end, they can turn into a slower tax season and decisions based on numbers you can’t fully trust.

If your business has grown but you still handle the books yourself, this 45-minute live session was built for that stage.

Tyler Puckrin, CPA and Matt Harris, CPA will walk through the signs you’ve outgrown DIY bookkeeping, what to fix before year-end, and real examples of what clean books have uncovered for business owners.

Automation can take a lot of repetitive work off your accounting team's plate. But faster doesn't always mean better.

Knowing which processes to start with, which controls to keep in place, and how to measure whether it's actually working can make the difference between a tool that pays off and one that just shifts the work elsewhere.

Here's what to consider before you scale. 👇
