If you work from home, you may be able to deduct a portion of your home expenses against your business income.

How it works:

Calculate the percentage of your home used exclusively for business.
(Most common method: business area ÷ total home area)

Apply that percentage to your eligible home expenses:
— Rent (if renting) or mortgage interest (not principal)
— Utilities
— Internet (business portion)
— Home insurance (business portion)
— Property tax (business portion)
— Repairs and maintenance

Important rules:
— The space must be used regularly and exclusively for business
— You cannot create or increase a business loss with home office expenses (for employees — business owners have different rules)
— Keep records of your home costs and the calculation method

The home office deduction is often underused — and sometimes overclaimed. Get the calculation right once, and apply it consistently.

A question I ask every client in October.

"What do you want your tax situation to look like this year — and does your current plan get you there?"

Most business owners have not thought about it that way.

They think about tax as something that happens to them.
We think about it as something you design.

Your compensation structure. Your timing of revenue and expenses. Your use of corporate retained earnings. Your personal financial goals for the year.

All of these connect to your tax outcome.

And all of them are decisions you can still make in October.

That conversation — the one that happens before the year ends — is where the real planning lives.

A deductible business expense reduces your taxable income.

But not every expense qualifies. Here are the general rules.

To be deductible, an expense must be:
1. Incurred for the purpose of earning business income
2. Reasonable in the circumstances
3. Supported by documentation (receipt, invoice)

Common deductible expenses:
— Office rent or home office portion
— Business vehicle use (tracked and documented)
— Professional fees (accounting, legal)
— Marketing and advertising
— Business meals (50% deductible in Canada)
— Professional development and training
— Software and subscriptions used for business
— Salaries and wages paid to employees

Common mistakes:
— Claiming personal expenses as business
— Not keeping receipts
— Claiming 100% of mixed-use expenses (home office, vehicle)

The rule of thumb: if you would spend it even without the business, it is probably personal.
If you only spend it because of the business, it is likely deductible.

When in doubt, ask your accountant before the year ends — not after.

Here is something most business owners find out too late.

The best time to reduce your tax bill is not April.
It is right now.

By the time tax season arrives, every decision that affects your return has already been made. The hire. The equipment purchase. The owner draw. The year-end bonus.

The tax return is just the report of what happened.

October is when you still have time to shape what happens.

That is the difference between tax planning and tax filing.

And it is the difference between a tax bill that surprises you and one that you saw coming — because you helped design it.

September check-in.

Where do you want to be on December 31?

Not in a vague "successful year" way. Specifically.

What revenue number would make this a good year?
What does your cash position need to look like?
What personal financial goal was the business supposed to support this year — and is it still on track?

If you know the answers to those questions — you are in good shape.

If they feel uncertain — that is the conversation to have in September, not December.

We are MROMERO CPA. We help you answer those questions with actual numbers.

Not-for-profit leaders — this one is for you.

Fall is your busiest season. Programming is back. Fundraising is ramping. Your team needs you.

But the organizations that thrive in the fall are the ones whose financial house is in order before it starts — not the ones scrambling to figure out the budget in November.

We work with not-for-profit organizations specifically because we understand the unique financial complexity you navigate.

Restricted funds. Board reporting. Grant compliance. Payroll for a mixed team.

We handle the financial layer so you can focus on the mission layer.

If your organization needs that support — let us talk.

If you are heading into Q4 without a clear financial picture — you are not alone.

Most small business owners are in exactly that position in September.

But you do not have to stay there.

A Q4 readiness session with MROMERO CPA takes about an hour. We look at:

— Where you actually are year-to-date
— What the next 90 days look like for cash
— What decisions need to be made before year-end
— How this connects to what you personally need

It is not complicated. But it is the most useful financial hour most business owners have had all year.

If you want to finish 2026 on purpose — reach out.

The business owner who changed how I think about financial clarity.

She came to us in September a few years ago.

She had been running her business for six years. Growing every year. Great reputation. Clients who loved her.

But she had never once looked at her gross margin. She did not know what it was. No one had ever shown her.

When we pulled it up together, she sat quietly for a moment.

Then she said: "I have been undercharging for six years."

Not dramatically. Not catastrophically. Just quietly undercharging in a way that meant she was working too hard for too little — and had no idea.

That one number changed her pricing strategy for the next year.

That is what financial clarity does. It shows you what you could not see before.
