Making the World a Better Place

Many people are called to form for-profit and not-for-profit organizations to fulfill their personal destiny and often times lack the expertise to manage the administrative, financial and government compliance aspects of their business. In fact, over 80% of all small businesses fail due to inadequate financial management. DWG is a firm designed to help bridge that gap in order to help others to achieve their dreams.

“Our mission is simple: to help our clients make informed decisions, move forward with confidence, and spend less time worrying about finances so they can focus on what they do best.”

In the final part of our founder series, Darrell Groves talks about the team behind DWG CPA: people who genuinely care about our clients and about each other, and who show it in the way they serve.

Over the past four weeks, Darrell has shared why he founded DWG CPA, what clients are really looking for, a client story that stayed with him, and the mission that guides the team every day.

Thank you for following along. If you’re looking for a financial partner you can call, ask questions, and rely on for honest advice, we’d love to hear from you. Schedule a discovery call at dwg.cpa or call (281) 201-8348.

One of the most practical changes in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act takes effect for this year’s payments.

For payments made in 2026, businesses generally need to issue Forms 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC only when payments to a vendor or contractor total $2,000 or more for the year, up from $600. Starting in 2027, the threshold will be adjusted for inflation. And for payment apps and online marketplaces, the Form 1099-K threshold is back to $20,000 and more than 200 transactions.

Fewer forms is good news. But a few things haven’t changed:

✔️All income is still taxable, whether or not a 1099 is issued.
✔️You should still collect a W-9 from every vendor and contractor before you pay them, not in January.
✔️Payments that cross $2,000 by year-end will still need a 1099, so track totals as you go.

Now is the best time to review your vendor list, flag anyone approaching $2,000, and chase missing W-9s while there’s still time.

Need help getting ready for 1099 season? Our Gold plan includes optional 1099 contract management. Call DWG CPA at (281) 201-8348.

GivingTuesday is December 1, and for most nonprofits the next ten weeks bring the biggest wave of donations all year.

The organizations that handle it best are the ones that prepare before the gifts arrive. Swipe through six things to have in place now, from donor acknowledgment letters and quid pro quo disclosures to recording restricted and in-kind gifts correctly.

One more thing worth sharing with your supporters: starting in 2026, donors who take the standard deduction can deduct up to $1,000 ($2,000 for married couples filing jointly) of cash gifts made directly to qualifying charities. That’s a new reason for many of your donors to give before December 31.

DWG CPA supports nonprofits with fund accounting, grant tracking, board reporting, and Form 990 preparation, so your team can stay focused on the mission. Call us at (281) 201-8348.

Financials behind. Tax returns behind. No clear picture of where the business stood.

That’s where one client was when they came to DWG CPA. In Part 3 of our founder series, Darrell Groves shares how the team worked through it together, got everything back on track, and what the client told him afterward: “Darrell, I’m finally sleeping through the night.”

As Darrell puts it, it’s not really about numbers. It’s about helping people replace uncertainty with confidence.

If your books or returns have fallen behind, you’re not the first, and it’s fixable. Let’s talk: (281) 201-8348 or dwg.cpa.

Open enrollment season is here. Many employers are opening benefits elections now, Medicare Open Enrollment runs through December 7, and ACA Marketplace enrollment generally opens November 1.

Most people pick their benefits in a hurry. But several of those choices are also tax decisions:

HSA-eligible plans: A high-deductible plan paired with an HSA lets you contribute pre-tax, grow the money tax-free, and withdraw it tax-free for qualified medical expenses. Starting in 2026, bronze and catastrophic Marketplace plans are also treated as HSA-eligible.

Flexible spending accounts: Health and dependent care FSAs reduce taxable income, but unused money may be lost under use-it-or-lose-it rules, so estimate carefully. The dependent care FSA limit rose to $7,500 starting in 2026.

Pre-tax or Roth 401(k): Pre-tax contributions lower your taxes today. Roth contributions are taxed now but can come out tax-free in retirement. The right mix depends on your income now and what you expect later.

We don’t choose insurance plans for you. We help you understand the tax impact of each option, so you can choose with the full picture.

Bring your enrollment options to your year-end planning meeting with DWG, or call us at (281) 201-8348.

October 15 has come and gone. If your extended return still isn’t filed, here’s the most important thing to know:

File as soon as you can, even if you can’t pay the full balance.

Here’s why. The IRS penalty for filing late is generally 5% of the unpaid tax for each month the return is late (up to 25%). The penalty for paying late is generally 0.5% per month. Every month you wait to file costs far more than waiting to pay.

A few more things worth knowing:
🔹 Owed a refund? There’s generally no late-filing penalty, but you still have to file to get your money.
🔹 Can’t pay in full? The IRS offers payment plans.
🔹 Received an IRS letter? Don’t ignore it. Respond promptly.

Falling behind happens, and it’s fixable. DWG CPA helps clients catch up on late or unfiled returns and handles IRS correspondence on their behalf.

“Most of them aren’t looking for just another accountant. They’re looking for someone they can call, ask questions, and rely on for honest advice.”

Over the years, Darrell Groves has worked with business owners, nonprofit leaders, and executives who carry a lot of responsibility. What they need most isn’t more numbers. It’s clarity, and someone they can trust.

In Part 2 of our founder series, Darrell shares the beliefs that shape how we work at DWG CPA:

🔹 Financial information should bring clarity, not confusion
🔹 Be responsive, practical, and straightforward
🔹 Trust is earned through relationships, not transactions

Three days. That’s how long you have left if you extended your 2025 tax return.

The extended deadline for individuals (Form 4868) and calendar-year C corporations is Thursday, October 15, and the final week is when small oversights turn into penalties.

Swipe through our final-week checklist 👉

The most important point? File on time, even if you can’t pay the full balance. The penalty for filing late is generally ten times bigger than the penalty for paying late, and the IRS offers payment plans for the rest.

DWG clients: please upload any remaining documents to your client portal today so our team has time to finish, review, and file.

Need help before Thursday? Call us at (281) 201-8348.

Deadlines may differ for taxpayers in IRS-declared disaster areas.

One week to go: October 15 is the extended filing deadline.

If you filed an extension in April, here's who needs to act by Thursday, October 15:
🔹 Individuals who extended their 2025 return (Form 4868)
🔹 Calendar-year C corporations that extended Form 1120

One important reminder: an extension gave you more time to file, not more time to pay. If you owe tax, interest has been accruing on the unpaid balance since April, so the sooner your return is finished, the better.

DWG Clients: If your return isn't complete yet, please upload any remaining documents to your client portal today so our team has time to finish, review, and file.

Not a DWG client and still need help? Call us at (281) 201-8348.

Note: Taxpayers in IRS-declared disaster areas may have different deadlines.

"People often assume accounting is all about numbers. But after more than 30 years in this profession, I've learned it's really about people."

When Darrell Groves founded DWG CPA in 2005, his goal wasn't to build the biggest firm. It was to build one that clients could trust when they faced important financial decisions.

This month, we're sharing Darrell's story in four short parts: why he started DWG, what clients are really looking for, a client story that stayed with him, and the team behind it all.

Here's Part 1. Part 2 comes next Wednesday.
