"I'll deal with my books in January." 😬
Here's what's already due in the first six weeks of 2027: W-2s (Feb 1), 1099-NECs (Feb 1), Form 941 and 940 (Feb 1), Q4 estimated taxes (Jan 15), plus an entire year of books you haven't touched.
And every bookkeeper in the country is doing that same list for every client at the same time.
In October, nothing is due. Your bookkeeper has time. You still remember what that $2,400 charge in June was for.
Same work. Very different conditions. 🕐
