September is a big month for taxes πŸ“…

Here's what's coming up so you're not caught off guard β€” save this post!

Mark September 15 on your calendar:
βœ… Extended S-corp (1120-S) and partnership (1065) returns are due
βœ… Q3 2026 estimated tax payments are due β€” same day

If your business filed an extension back in March, that clock runs out on the 15th. And if you pay quarterly estimates on pass-through income, that installment is due too.

We wrote up exactly what's due, why this date trips people up, and how to get ahead of it πŸ‘‰ https://anchorbookkeepingnc.com/september-2026-tax-deadlines/

Your bookkeeping software isn't lying to you β€” it's just guessing.

Jenny, founder of Anchor Bookkeeping explains how AI tools misclassify transactions and why that one mistake can mean missed deductions or tax trouble down the road.

AI can speed things up. It can't replace someone who actually understands your business and U.S. tax law.

Construction business owners β€” Q3 is here. πŸ—οΈ

That means it's the time of year to review job costs, margins, and overhead while you still have runway to fix anything that's not working.

Skip the review and you'll be finding out in January what you could have caught in August.

Six sections to work through:

βœ… Job cost review on every active project
βœ… WIP schedule (billings, retainage, over/under)
βœ… Change order tracking
βœ… Materials & subcontractor cost trends
βœ… Labor productivity & burden
βœ… Overhead absorption & bidding discipline

New blog post walks through each section, the red flags to watch for, and how to set up H2 to win.

Your chart of accounts is the backbone of your books.

If you've ever looked at your P&L and thought "these numbers don't tell me anything useful" β€” it's usually a chart of accounts problem. Everything gets recorded, but nothing gets recorded in a way that helps you make decisions.

One of our recent cleanup clients, Joshua β€” a self-employed musician β€” came to us with 8 years of disorganized books. He left us this review last month:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Jenny and her team have helped me reshape my financial life entirely. They took the 8-year mess of a disorganized, self-employed musician and completely transformed it with order, organization, and detail. The weight and immensity of that stress is now completely lifted and I owe it all to them. Thanks again for transforming my life, Jenny."

Thank you, Joshua β€” reviews like this are why we do what we do. πŸ’›

New blog post breaks down exactly what a chart of accounts is, the 5 core categories, common mistakes, and how to rebuild yours if it's a mess.

Your bank balance is not your profit.

That's the whole essay. πŸ˜„

Actually, no β€” the whole essay is what your bank balance is hiding: sales tax you've collected but haven't remitted, payroll taxes owed, bills that haven't been paid yet, credit card charges that haven't cleared, and estimated taxes coming due.

One of the fastest ways for a profitable-looking business to run out of cash is to make decisions off what the checking account says, instead of what the P&L says.

New blog post breaks down the three numbers you actually need β€” and the real-world example of a contractor who thought he had $52K in profit and actually had $14K.

πŸ† Did you know that not all bookkeepers who use QuickBooks are actually certified in it?

Jenny Rodriguez, founder of Anchor Bookkeeping & Tax Solutions, is a QuickBooks Platinum ProAdvisor β€” the highest certification level Intuit awards.

That means your books aren't just being managed. They're being managed by someone who:
βœ… Passed rigorous certification exams
βœ… Recertifies annually to stay current on every QuickBooks update
βœ… Knows how to set up your books correctly for your specific industry
βœ… Keeps your records audit-ready at all times

Most business owners don't know to ask about QuickBooks certification. Now you do. πŸ’™

Q3 starts Monday, July 1. ⏰

A mid-year financial check-up is one of the highest-ROI things a small business owner can do β€” and one of the easiest to skip.

Two or three hours of focused review will give you:
βœ… A clear picture of how the first half actually went
βœ… Six months of runway to fix anything that's not working
βœ… The data you need for accurate Q3 estimated taxes
βœ… A starting point for smart H2 decisions on hiring, pricing, and capital purchases

I made a six-section checklist that walks through everything: bookkeeping foundation, A/R and A/P, payroll, tax compliance, financial statements, and operational review.

Quick reminder for self-employed friends and small business owners:

Q2 estimated tax payments are due Monday, June 15. πŸ“†

If you've never made an estimated tax payment before β€” or you're not sure if you need to β€” here's the quick test: do you expect to owe more than $1,000 in federal tax this year after withholding? If yes, you should be paying quarterly.

I wrote up a guide that walks through who needs to pay, how to calculate the amount, the four ways to send it to the IRS, and what to do if you already missed Q1.
