Yes! You can be on a budget and enjoy your life!

Because when we’re intentional about how we use these resources, we can make choices that lead to a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

Ask yourself these questions:

What’s important to your happiness?
What do you want to achieve in life?
How do you want to use your business to create more impact and value for your community and most importantly for yourself and your family?

Answering these questions can help you figure out how to be intentional with your time, energy, and of course your money.

Once you know this, you can start allocating funds for different purposes. For example, you may want to set aside money for savings, investments, and debt repayment.

Need more clarity on how well your business is running so you can set up a budget that helps you enjoy and achieve the lifestyle you want?

Schedule a call. Let's get to know each other and come up with a solution customized for your needs.

This is reminder to start collecting W9 forms from vendors and contractors if you haven't collected them already! There is only one more quarter until the years end.

If you use workers other than employees to perform services for your business and pay them $2000 or more for the year, you are required to issue each one a Form 1099 after the end of the year to avoid facing the loss of the deduction for their labor and expenses.

Heads up: the threshold used to be $600 and is now $2,000 for a 1099-NEC. This takes effect for the 2026 filings.

The IRS requires a W-9 form as a means for you to obtain the data required to file 1099s for your vendors.

Have more questions about W9s and 1099s? Ask them in the comments below.

So, you've finally decided that outsourcing your bookkeeping is the next step in your businesses growth—That's wonderful!

I know how much of a relief it is when you finally decide to outsource! Making that decision is the first step. Next comes the big question: who do you hire?? You’ll be trusting this person with sensitive financial information, after all, so you’ll want to be cautious when hiring.

I want you to avoid hiring the wrong person. I’ve put together a list of six questions to ask a bookkeeper before you commit to working together. Use the link below to download your free checklist now!

Remember that failure is rarely fatal and most often is an opportunity to learn.

If you have an intentional process to measure everything you do and funnel negative results into changes, you will turn all those learning opportunities into growth and improvement.

As a business owner, you are BUSY. And for many of you, the term “busy” is an understatement.

Taking a good, hard look at where you spend your time, and then looking for ways to get those items off your plate, can help reduce the workload.

The more you take off, the more time you have for creating real value and growth within your company.

This is especially important when it comes to your business finances.

We help you focus on growing your business without the hassle of dealing with the numbers. Book a call to get started!
