Whiteboard Friday: what a fractional CFO actually does.

It's part-time finance help for a business that isn't ready for a full-time CFO. It turns your books into a monthly plan, forecasts cash, picks the few numbers to watch, and gives you a sounding board before you hire, raise prices or buy equipment.

Pasco County owners: which of those would help you most right now?

Running your business from the spare bedroom? That space might count as a home office deduction.

The IRS test: you use that part of your home regularly and only for the business, and it's generally your main place of business. The family dinner table doesn't count.

Port Richey home-based owners: where's your "office" right now?

Hurricane season runs through November 30. Are your business records storm-ready?

Florida business owners: scan the important papers, back up your books somewhere off-site, and snap photos of your equipment. If a storm hits Port Richey, you'll have what you need for insurance and taxes.

Where do your records live right now: a filing cabinet, a laptop, or the cloud?

Found an IRS letter in the mailbox? Don't toss it in a drawer, and don't panic.

The IRS starts most contact by regular mail, and the letter tells you what they need and the date to respond by. Read it, keep it with your records, and act by that date.

Be honest, New Port Richey: do you open those right away or let them sit?

Whiteboard Friday: 4 signs you've outgrown DIY books.

Months behind. Can't say whether last month made money. A scramble every tax season. Big calls made on gut feel. Sound familiar, Port Richey?

Which one hits closest to home?

Florida sales tax: Monday, October 19 at 5 p.m. ET is the last day to e-pay on time this month.

If you file monthly or quarterly here in Port Richey or anywhere in Florida, returns are late after the 20th, but e-payments need a confirmation number by 5 p.m. the business day before. And remember, the sales tax you collect isn't your income.

Do you file monthly or quarterly?

Got paid through Venmo, Zelle or Cash App this week? That's business income, same as a check.

Pasco County owners: when the money lands, jot down who paid and what it was for, so tax time isn't a scavenger hunt through your app history.

Which app do most of your customers use to pay you?

30 days late is a reminder. 60 days is a phone call. 90 days is a problem.

New Port Richey business owners: send the invoice the day the job wraps, and set a reminder for day 30 so unpaid work never sneaks up on you.

How far back does your oldest open invoice go?

Filed a tax extension back in April? Your 2025 federal return is due Thursday, October 15.

Port Richey and Pasco County folks: an extension gave you more time to file, not more time to pay. If you owe, interest has been adding up since April 15.

Still chasing a missing form, or want us to take it off your plate? Call or message us this week. What's the last piece you're waiting on?
