Business owners, something is on our heart that we want to share with you.

Anyone can “appear” to be successful.
But not everybody can show you—or explain—systems, structure, compliance, and sustainability.

Just because someone appears to be making money does not mean they understand the behind-the-scenes of how that business actually runs and why.

A lot of times, those same businesses are not complaint on the federal and state level.

Having a business and knowing how to run a business the correct way are two different things.
And being in business vs. actually understanding business are two different things.

Instead, invest in advisory services from professionals who specialize in what you need—accountants, business attorneys, certified business consultants, etc. Educate yourself on the administrative side of the business and not just the trade.

As always, if you need assistance feel free to give us a shout.

We have a 1-800 number, but aren't a 1-800 company. Contact VCL Financial for assistance with your tax, payroll, insurance, and compliance needs in Richmond, VA

🚗How to Properly Claim Mileage as a Business Expense

If you use your personal vehicle for business, you may be eligible for a mileage deduction on your taxes — but only if you track it correctly! Here’s what you need to know:

Keep a Mileage Log
Record the date, starting point, destination, purpose of the trip, and miles driven. Apps like MileIQ or even a simple notebook can work.

Know What Counts
Business mileage includes driving to meet clients, picking up supplies, or traveling to job sites

❌ Driving from home to your regular office doesn’t count — that’s considered commuting which isn’t deductible.

Standard Rate vs. Actual Expenses
• Standard Mileage Rate: For 2025, you can deduct 67 cents per mile driven for business.
• Actual Expense Method: Track gas, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation, then deduct the percentage used for business.

Most small business owners find the standard mileage rate simpler and more beneficial — but you should choose whichever gives the bigger deduction!

At VCL Financial, we help business owners maximize deductions while staying compliant with IRS rules. Don’t leave money on the table!

Need help setting up your mileage tracking system or understanding your options? Give us a call at 1-866-270-4264.

Fallen Behind on Your Taxes? You’re Not Alone.

Many people don’t realize this, but a big part of what we do at VCL Financial is helping clients file both current and delinquent taxes— and truthfully, most of the people who come to us are already behind.

What I’ve learned over the years is that once someone misses one year, fear and anxiety quickly set in. Before you know it, several years have gone unfiled. There’s often confusion about how to get old W-2s or income documents from those years, or how to figure out past business expenses.

Here’s the good news: all of that can be fixed.

We can retrieve your old income documents for you.

We’ll walk you step-by-step through reconstructing business expenses if needed.

You don’t have to carry the stress alone — and you don’t have to have it all figured out before you call us.

⚠️ Why you shouldn’t wait

When you don’t file on time, the IRS adds:

Failure-to-File Penalty: 5% of your unpaid taxes each month (up to 25%)
Failure-to-Pay Penalty: 0.5% per month (up to 25%)
Interest: Starts building the day your taxes were due — and compounds daily

These charges add up FAST and can easily DOUBLE what you originally owed.

It’s never too late to get back on track. After your returns are filed, we also assist you in setting up a payment plan if needed for any unpaid balances that may be owed on the Federal and State Level.
