📢 Announcement: Ending Tax Preparation Services

After much thought & consideration, I’ve decided to step away from tax preparation to focus more on my family as we continue our homeschooling journey. I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who’s trusted me over the years — it’s been an honor to serve you.

Thank you for your support and understanding during this new chapter. ❤️

📣 Important Update 📣

As of September 1, 2025, I’ll be closing my storefront location at 112 W Stoddard Street, Dexter, MO and transitioning my office back to a home-based setting. This decision wasn’t made lightly, but it’s one that aligns with what’s best for my family.

💻 The good news? Nothing else is changing! I will continue offering remote bookkeeping and tax preparation services and will still be available by phone/text, email, and virtual meetings—just like always.

I’m so thankful for your continued support and understanding. I truly look forward to serving you in this next chapter!

If you have any questions or want to schedule a time to connect, feel free to reach out. 💬

If you’re paying for childcare this summer so you can work (or job hunt), read up on the Child & Dependent Care Credit!

You may be eligible for a tax credit of 35% on qualifying costs (up to $3,000 or $6,000, depending on the number of qualifying dependents you have).

📲 Send this post to a parent who needs to know this info!

Please consult with your tax accountant to determine if your childcare costs qualify for this credit.

Liability, cyber, workers' comp... if it's protecting your business, there’s a good chance your business insurance expenses are a write-off.

But your tax accountant will never know about your insurance to *confirm* it's a deduction if you aren't tracking all of your expenses!

Quit losing out on tax deductions because you didn't have time to do your bookkeeping properly - hire a pro like me instead! 👋

You are responsible for telling your employer how much federal tax to withhold from your paycheck... and this is CRUCIAL for avoiding surprise tax bills or oversized refunds. 💸

If you’ve had a life change (like a marriage, baby, or a new side hustle), let HR know that you'd like to update your Form W-4!

☀️ HOT TIP: If you've spent on qualifying, energy-efficient improvements for your main home, like:

⚡Insulation material that reduces heat loss/gain

⚡Windows & Skylights

⚡ Heat Pumps

⚡ Exterior Doors

⚡ A Home Energy Audit

You might qualify for this tax credit!

Check with your tax accountant to see whether your expenses qualify and how much you can deduct.

If a tax “hack” on social media sounds too good to be true (👀 like hiring your toddler as your CFO)… it probably is. 😬

Yes, there are legit ways to save on taxes as a business owner, but there are rules and stipulations you need to follow (plus documentation requirements!).

That “fun write-off” could turn into an audit nightmare if you're running off TikTok advice alone.

Before you start writing off a new G-Wagon or vacation to Hawaii, run it by me so we can determine if it's legal OR even worth the hassle from a tax perspective. 💸

This might be the MOST important post you ever read if you want to become a client of mine! 😜

Here's the bank statement organization method that will make your bookkeeper fall in love with you:

ONE FOLDER PER YEAR

A Google Drive folder titled “2025 Bank Statements” is perfect!

ONE SUBFOLDER PER ACCOUNT

Each bank account should have its own subfolder. You can name this subfolder the name of the bank and the last four digits of the account, like “Chase #1234”.

ONE PDF PER STATEMENT

When you download your bank statement each month, upload it to the subfolder and title it something like “2025-06 Chase #1234”. Whatever naming convention you choose, consistency is key!

Want to know the #1 reason business owners ignore their taxes? ⤵️

It's the fear of "doing something wrong".

Between the deadlines, the receipts, and ever-changing tax laws... it can be A LOT! 🙃

You owe it to yourself to have someone in your corner (like me!) helping you get caught up, stay compliant, and actually understand how you can legally pay less. 💸
