3 expenses small business owners forget to record, and then miss at tax time.

1. Mileage. Driving to clients, the bank, the supply store. Without a log, it's hard to claim. Start a simple log this week, even a note on your phone.

2. Business software on your personal card. That $29 subscription is still a business expense. Move it to your business card and record the old charges.

3. Small cash buys. Parking, printer ink, postage. Snap the receipt the same day.

Before October closes, scroll your personal statements for anything that belongs to the business. 🫶🏻

QuickBooks AI categorization mistakes to check before tax time.

I gave the QuickBooks Online AI agent a full month of transactions. It got most of them right. The ones it missed were the ones that change your taxes: mixed-use stores, loan payments, personal charges and duplicate matches.

Take 20 minutes at month-end, open your P&L and look for anything that doesn't make sense.

Watch the full test on YouTube: search Liz Becerra Finance. Which one of these have you caught in your own books?

The women who ask about your business and actually want the answer. The ones who check on you after a slow month, cheer for your first big invoice and send your page to a friend. Keep them close.

It’s Women’s Small Business Month. Tag the woman who always asks about yours.

Peak life is quieter than I expected. More prayer, fewer group chats, and an invoice that got paid on time. 😌
What’s on your peak life list, babe?

Lock in! 🔒

Q4 is not the end of this year. It's the setup for the next one.

Here's what I mean.

The invoice you send in November on Net 30 is not November money. It's January money. Your Q1 cash position is being built right now, by what you bill and how fast you collect it.

The conversations you start in October and November are the deals that close in January and February. Most owners stop reaching out in December because it's busy. Then they wonder why January is quiet. January is quiet because nobody planted anything in November.

Your books are the same. Messy Q4 records mean you spend Q1 fixing last year instead of working on this one. That's a full quarter spent looking backward.

And pricing. If you want a new rate in 2027, you tell people in Q4. Skip that and you're locked into this year's numbers for another twelve months.

None of this is about working harder in December. It's about understanding that Q1 does not start in January. It starts now, and most people are not paying attention.

What's the one thing you'd want handled before this quarter closes? 👇

You have three months left in 2026. That's enough time to kill one habit, not five.

So pick the one that's costing you the most and leave it here.
