Choosing the right legal structure is a big decision for any new or growing business. It shapes everything from your tax responsibilities to how liability is handled, so it’s important to understand how each option works.

Your structure determines how income is taxed, which returns you’ll file, and how responsibilities are divided among owners. As your business grows or shifts, the setup that worked on day one may not remain the best fit.

If you’re unsure whether your current structure still aligns with your long-term goals, our team at M. Hughes, CPA & Company, LLC is here to help. We can walk you through your tax exposure, discuss potential changes, and help you make confident decisions about what comes next.

Ready to take a closer look? Give us a call at (401) 289-3888.

Flag Day is a great reminder of how much history is woven into the Stars and Stripes, and our team always enjoys taking a moment to appreciate the story behind this national symbol.

Here are a few fun facts you might not know:

🔹 The 50-star version was designed by a 17-year-old student, Robert G. Heft, whose class project ended up becoming the official flag in 1960.

🔹 There have been 27 official versions of the U.S. flag, with most changes reflecting the addition of new states over time.

🔹 The colors carry meaning: red for hardiness and valor, white for purity, and blue for vigilance, perseverance, and justice.

🔹 Six American flags remain on the moon, placed there during Apollo missions.

🔹 Our current design is the longest-running in history, unchanged since 1959.

As a Rhode Island CPA firm serving Warren, Bristol, Barrington, and the South Coast, we love celebrating the traditions that shape our communities. Wishing you a meaningful Flag Day filled with pride and reflection.

When the U.S. Mint paused new penny production in late 2025, many local business owners and consumers started rethinking how this shift affects everyday transactions. As pennies gradually phase out, rounding cash payments to the nearest nickel will become more common.

Our team at M. Hughes, CPA & Company, LLC is keeping an eye on how these changes may impact budgeting, small business accounting, and tax reporting in Rhode Island and the South Coast.

If you're unsure how to plan for the transition, we're here to help. Give us a call or send us a message with your questions.
