What’s actually holding your business back?

You can be busy every day and still not have a clear picture of where your business is strong — or where things may be quietly holding you back.

I created the ClearPath Business Assessment for small, owner-led businesses that want greater clarity on how well they’re operating.

In about 5–10 minutes, you’ll evaluate your business across eight key areas and receive:

✓ Your Overall Business Health Score
✓ Scores across eight key business areas
✓ Your strongest areas
✓ Areas that may need attention
✓ Priority areas that could be holding your business back
✓ A clear snapshot of where your business stands today

Clarity today. Stronger tomorrow.

Freedom doesn't happen by accident.

Every bookkeeper has heard these four words:

"I don't know."

The problem isn't that you forgot.

The problem is that every missing detail turns into time spent searching transactions, tracking receipts, sending emails, and trying to piece the story together.

A simple note when you make the purchase can save your bookkeeper—and you—a lot of time later.

Clear books start with good habits, not just good software.

Most business owners think an invoice is just a bill.

It isn't.

Every invoice tells your accounting system:
✔️ Which city the sale belongs to
✔️ Which tax rate applies
✔️ How that sale is reported on your Washington excise tax return

If the invoice isn't created correctly, your reporting can be wrong before you ever file.

Small details create accurate reporting.

That's The ClearPath Way.

11 years ago today, on the Summer Solstice, I launched my business page.

What I didn't realize until today was why I chose this date.

I found a post I wrote back then:

"I always told my Dad that I would have my own business one day."

My dad passed away on Father's Day, but he was always my biggest believer. He always believed in us girls, encouraged us to dream bigger, and never doubted what we could accomplish.

Eleven years later, the business is still here.

There have been challenges, lessons, victories, heartbreak, and more growth than I ever imagined.

Today, I'm grateful.

Grateful for every client, every referral, every opportunity, and every person who has supported me along the way.

And grateful for a dad who believed in me before I fully believed in myself.

❤️ Happy Father's Day, Dad.

❤️ Happy 11th Anniversary, Branching Out Business Solutions.

Avoid the Rush Next Year

If tax season felt stressful, you’re not alone.
The good news: you can make next year a whole lot easier by tightening up your books now.

A few things that make a big difference:
• Keeping business and personal expenses separate
• Staying current on reconciliations
• Tracking sales tax correctly
• Cleaning up old categories and unused accounts

If you want a smoother, calmer tax season next year, I can help you get everything set up the right way.

The Working Families Tax Credit (WFTC) launched in 2022, and it’s one of the most overlooked credits in Washington.
If you received the Earned Income Credit (EIC) on your federal return, you may qualify for the WFTC — even for prior years you didn’t file.
Each year is a separate application, and many families are still eligible for refunds from 2022 forward.
If you’re not sure whether you qualify, message me, and I can check your eligibility for you.
