Today is National First Responders Day!

The firefighters, police officers, EMTs, paramedics, and dispatchers who serve our community run toward emergencies when others run away. They show up when it matters most, often at great personal cost.

To every first responder in our area: thank you. Your service means everything.

Two months left in 2026! At TEL, this stretch of the year carries the satisfaction of helping clients finish what they started.

For nearly 100 years, we've walked alongside individuals, families, and businesses through every season. The final two months are no different. Whether you need to tie up loose ends, make a few last moves, or simply take stock — we're here.

Let's close out 2026 with confidence.

10/23/2026

It's National Retirement Security Week!

This is your reminder that retirement planning isn't a one-time decision. It's ongoing: how much you're contributing, whether your allocation still fits your timeline, and whether there are moves worth making before December 31.

The 2026 contribution window closes at year-end, and the moves you make in the next few months can impact both your savings and your tax bill. TEL can help you take a closer look before the window closes.

10/21/2026

Expecting a year-end bonus? The decisions you make with it in the next few weeks can impact your tax bill, your savings, and your financial picture heading into 2027.

Swipe through for a breakdown of the smartest moves to consider, and reach out to TEL if you want help figuring out what makes the most sense for your situation.

10/19/2026

For small business owners, October is one of the most important months on the financial calendar.

Clean books, strategically timed deductions, and accurate Q4 projections make a real difference in how your year closes and how the next one starts. Disorganized financials heading into year-end mean missed deductions, surprise tax bills, and decisions made without the full picture.

TEL's small business accounting services give you the clarity to finish 2026 strong. Contact TEL to schedule a year-end review.

10/16/2026

If charitable giving is part of your financial plan, October is the right time to think it through.

Contributions made before December 31 may be tax-deductible, but documentation requirements, organization type, and strategies like bunching or donor-advised funds all matter. Planning ahead means giving intentionally rather than reactively at year-end.

TEL can help you align your giving strategy with your overall tax picture before 2026 closes out.

10/14/2026

By mid-October you have enough income data to project the full year accurately, but enough time remaining to act on what you find.

Withholding adjustments only affect the paychecks that are left. Retirement contributions need time to process. Charitable giving requires planning. Wait until December and most of your options are gone.

TEL can help you identify what applies to your situation before the window closes.

10/09/2026

Open enrollment season is here, and it's one of the most financially consequential decisions many people make all year.

If you're on a high-deductible health plan, your HSA is one of the most tax-advantaged accounts available: contributions go in pre-tax, grow tax-free, and come out tax-free for qualified expenses. FSA deadlines and use-it-or-lose-it rules are also worth reviewing before your window closes.

TEL can help you think through how these elections fit your broader financial and tax picture.

10/07/2026

People who wait for a higher income to start saving often find their lifestyle grows right along with their paycheck, and the savings never happen. Starting small and staying consistent beats waiting for the perfect moment.

TEL can help you build a plan that works with where you are right now.

10/05/2026

Q4 is here! That means the window for meaningful financial moves before December 31st is open.

Retirement contributions, withholding adjustments, charitable giving, tax planning — these decisions don't make themselves, and waiting until November limits your options significantly. If you've been thinking about a year-end conversation with TEL, today is the right day to reach out.
