📚 Giving back to our community!

Our team recently joined the Jacksonville Public Education Fund and First Coast News for "Stuff the Bus," supporting the Full Service Schools initiative — which provides critical resources to 87 DCPS schools and more than 57,000 students.

Nearly 40% of households in our community are ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) — working hard every day but still struggling to afford basic necessities. Making sure local classrooms have what they need starts with all of us pitching in.

Proud of our team for showing up for Jacksonville's students and teachers. 🚌✏️

An out-of-state client came to us managing 6 operating businesses—and needed more than a Controller. They needed a full back office while they focused on other strategic initiatives.

Here's what that looked like in practice:
→ Daily A/R and A/P support
→ Full month-end close across all entities, on their deadline
→ Weekly check-ins on obstacles and financials
→ A team of 2 accountants plus a Controller, keeping pace with volume
→ Support running 2 concurrent ERP systems during a software conversion
→ Management of Ramp, Bill, QBO, and their industry-specific work order system

This is what Client Accounting & Advisory Services looks like when a business needs real bandwidth.

Effective July 1, 2026, the IRS has updated the optional standard mileage rates for business, medical, and moving purposes. These revised rates remain in effect through the end of 2026.

📊 New rates (July 1 – Dec 31, 2026):
Business: $0.76 per mile
Medical and Moving: $0.235 per mile
Charitable: $0.14 per mile (unchanged)

For the first half of 2026 (Jan 1 – June 30), the rates were $0.725 for business and $0.205 for medical/moving.

These rates apply to mileage incurred on or after July 1 — if you're logging trips, be sure to separate first-half and second-half mileage, since the rate that applies depends on the date driven, not when you file or get reimbursed.

🔹 Full details from the IRS: https://www.irs.gov/irb/2026-29_irb -2026-11

Questions about how this impacts your deductions or reimbursement policy? Please reach out — we're happy to help.

The most valuable work in a business sale often happens years before the deal closes.

By the time the contract is signed, the biggest opportunities to protect that wealth have already passed. The owners who plan early are the ones who keep what they built.

If selling your business is anywhere on the horizon, this is worth your time. 👇

Business owners should start exit and estate planning years before a potential sale. Waiting until the deal is on the table can cost you millions in taxes.
