Did you know your business may be able to rent your home for up to 14 days a year, and that income can be tax-free to you? 🏡⛳

It's called the Augusta Rule, named after homeowners who rent their houses during the Masters.

The guardrails:
✅ 14 days a year, maximum
✅ It has to be your actual residence
✅ The days have to happen this calendar year, so 2026 meetings need to be on the calendar before December 31
✅ It works differently by entity type, so confirm with your CPA first

Where it falls apart: no written rental agreement, no support for the rate, no payment trail. The rule is simple. The documentation is what makes it hold up.

The Augusta Rule is one of 20+ items on our Q4 checklist. Comment GUIDE below and we'll send you our free Q4 Tax Strategy Resource Guide. It's the full year-end checklist, with a question to bring to your CPA at the end of every section.

5 tax moves 7- and 8-figure founders should make before December 31. Save this one! 📌

1️⃣ Review your entity structure against this year's profit. What fit at $500K may not fit at $5M.
2️⃣ Decide on a retirement plan. Some can be opened late. Others, like cash balance plans, take weeks.
3️⃣ Schedule and document your Augusta Rule days. They have to happen this calendar year.
4️⃣ Decide on equipment now. It has to be placed in service by December 31, not just ordered.
5️⃣ Review the timing of income and expenses, especially near a phase-out.

None of these require you to be a tax expert. They just require starting the conversation while there's still time to act.

That's five. There are 15+ more in the guide. Comment GUIDE below and we'll send you our free Q4 Tax Strategy Resource Guide. It's the full year-end checklist, with a question to bring to your CPA at the end of every section.

You probably qualify for most of these. You're probably using two. 👇

☐ HSA
☐ 529 plan
☐ Employing your kids (real work, reasonable wage)
☐ Home office
☐ Business use of your vehicle
☐ Donor-advised fund
☐ R&D credit (it applies to far more than lab coats)

These are the ones we see missed most when we review a new client's return. No December 31 cliff means no urgency, so they slide year after year. And remember: documentation is the difference between a deduction and an audit problem.

Which ones are you using? Tell us in the comments.

Do you know your estimated tax bill for this year right now? Most business owners see that number for the first time in January. 😬

You'd never wait until January to find out what you spent on payroll. Why do it with taxes?

✅ Profitable doesn't mean liquid. The tax bill is a cash event, not just an accounting one.
✅ The earlier you see the number, the more levers you have.
✅ It makes every other decision better: equipment, bonuses, retirement contributions, distributions.

In October you can still change the number. In January you can only pay it.

Two months left in the year. Don't try to do everything. Do things in the right order. 📋

1️⃣ Structure. Your entity sets the ceiling on every other strategy.
2️⃣ Compensation and retirement. Some plans take weeks to set up, and the clock is running.
3️⃣ Hard December 31 deadlines. Equipment placed in service, Augusta Rule days, timing of income and expenses.
4️⃣ Standing deductions. HSA, home office, vehicle, R&D credit. No deadline means they quietly slip.

Get through steps one and two before the holidays and you'll be ahead of most founders.

3 questions every business owner should ask their CPA before Q4 ends. 📋

1️⃣ Is our business structure still the right fit for where we're headed?
2️⃣ Which tax strategies have a year-end deadline, and which apply to us?
3️⃣ What deductions do we qualify for, and are we actually claiming them?

The strategies that lower next spring's tax bill have to be in place before December 31st. In this video, Rachel Phillips explains why these questions matter and why now is the time to ask.

Your P&L says you're profitable. Your bank account says otherwise. Here's why.

I see this constantly with founders: they're staring at a P&L showing a healthy margin, and they're also staring at a bank balance that makes them want to throw up. Both are true. Neither is lying to you.

Here's the disconnect. Profit is an opinion. Cash is a fact.

Your P&L is built on accrual accounting — it recognizes revenue when you earn it and expenses when you incur them, not when money actually changes hands. That's not a flaw, it's the point. It's designed to show you the economics of your business over time.

But it also means your P&L has no idea:

→ That you just paid $80K in cash for equipment that's only hitting your P&L as depreciation over 5 years

→ That you're carrying $150K in receivables from clients who take 60-90 days to pay

→ That you just paid down $40K in principal on a loan — which never touches your P&L at all → That you prepaid your annual insurance and software renewals in Q1

→ That inventory you bought is sitting in a warehouse instead of in your bank account

Every one of those is a real cash outflow. None of them is an expense on your income statement.

So you end up with two businesses living in the same company: the one your P&L describes, and the one your bank account is actually experiencing in real time.

The fix isn't a better P&L. It's building a habit most profitable-but-broke businesses skip entirely: a rolling cash flow forecast, updated weekly, that tracks what's actually coming in and going out — not what accounting rules say should be recognized when.

I build these with clients constantly, and the reaction is always the same: "I had no idea we were this tight until I saw it laid out week by week."

Profitable is what your P&L says about the past quarter. Solvent is what your bank account says about next Tuesday. You need to be managing both — separately.

If you're only looking at one of these statements to run your business, you're flying half-blind.

Unpopular opinion: if you're starting your Q4 planning in October, you've already lost the quarter.

I've sat in enough finance seats to see the pattern every single year.

The founders who scale profitably in Q4 aren't the ones with the best product launch in November. They're the ones who sat down in August and asked three unglamorous questions:

→ What's our actual cash runway through January, not just "we're fine"?

→ Which clients/customers/products are we over-indexed on, and what happens if one leaves or we stop selling that product?

→ What are we going to say no to, so Q4 doesn't become a scramble to say yes to everything?

Meanwhile, the founders who are "surprised" by a cash crunch in December? They were making decisions in October with September's numbers, hoping Q4 revenue would bail them out.

It rarely does. Revenue is the easiest lever to pull mentally and the hardest one to pull in reality on a 60-day timeline.

Here's the uncomfortable truth I tell clients: hope is not a financial strategy, and neither is "we'll figure it out when the orders come in."

The businesses that actually scale profitably in Q4 did the boring work in Q3:

➡️ Rebuilt the cash flow forecast with real assumptions, not optimistic ones
➡️ Identified which expenses were fixed vs. which were "we've just always paid for this"
➡️ Had the hard conversation about hiring/inventory/spend BEFORE the pressure hit
➡️ By the time October rolls around, they're executing a plan. Everyone else is triaging.

If your financial planning for Q4 hasn't started yet, it's not too late — but it's later than you think. And the gap between "prepared" and "reactive" this quarter usually shows up directly in your bottom line by January.

What's one thing you wish you'd looked at earlier this year, financially speaking?

07/22/2026

Cash flow problems and profitability problems are not the same problem. Most founders treat them like they are — and it costs them.

I've sat across the table from hundreds of business owners who tell me "we're profitable, so we're fine." Then three weeks later they're calling me in a panic because payroll is due and the bank account is empty.

Here's the disconnect: Profit is an opinion. Cash is a fact.

Your P&L can show a 20% net margin and you can still be unable to cover next Tuesday's payroll. That's not a contradiction — it's just how accrual accounting works. You recognized revenue the moment you invoiced. The cash from that invoice might not land for 45, 60, even 90 days.

A few numbers worth sitting with:
→ 82% of small business failures are tied to cash flow mismanagement or poor cash flow understanding — not lack of profit (U.S. Bank study, often cited, still holds true in every P&L I review).

→ The average B2B invoice in the U.S. is paid in 34-40 days past terms when you factor in real-world collections, not the 30-day terms printed on the invoice.

→ A business growing revenue 20% year-over-year often needs 20-30% more working capital just to fund the receivables and inventory gap — growth is a cash flow event, not just a profitability win.

→ I regularly see companies with 15%+ net margins carrying less than 2 weeks of operating cash on hand. That's not a profitability problem. That's a forecasting problem.

Profitability answers: "Is the business model working?" Cash flow answers: "Will we still be here in 60 days?"

Both questions matter. But only one of them can shut you down on a random Thursday.

If you only build one financial habit this year, build a rolling 13-week cash flow forecast. Not a budget. Not a P&L. A week-by-week view of what's actually coming in and going out.

Profit is the scoreboard. Cash is oxygen. Stop managing the scoreboard and start managing the oxygen.

07/17/2026

Cash flow reporting is not your P&L net margin.

I say this to founders at least once a week, and I still watch it land like new information every time.

Here's the confusion: your P&L says you made $80K net margin last month. Your bank account says you have $12K. Both are true. Neither one is lying to you. They're just answering different questions.

Your P&L answers: "Was this a profitable month, on paper?" Your cash flow answers: "Can I make payroll on Friday?"

Those are not the same question, and businesses don't fail from a bad month on the P&L. They fail from running out of cash while the P&L still looks fine.

Here's where the gap actually comes from:

→ Revenue recognition timing. You invoiced $50K this month. You collected $18K of it. Your P&L counts the $50K. Your bank account only knows the $18K.

→ Non-cash items sitting inside net margin. Depreciation, amortization, accrued expenses — all real on the P&L, all invisible in your checking account.

→ Debt principal payments. That loan payment you're making every month? The interest hits your P&L. The principal doesn't touch it at all — but it absolutely touches your cash.

→ Capital expenditures. You bought equipment. It's an asset on your balance sheet, depreciated over years on your P&L. But you paid for all of it, in cash, this month.

→ Timing of AP and AR. Net margin doesn't care when you collect or when you pay. Your bank balance cares about nothing else.

This is exactly why I tell clients: net margin tells you if the business model works. Cash flow tells you if you survive long enough to prove it.

If you are only looking at your P&L, you are flying with half the instrument panel. You need a rolling cash flow forecast — not a report of where cash was, but a forward view of where it's going — sitting next to that P&L every single month.

Profitable and out of cash is a real category. I've sat across the table from more founders in that exact spot than I can count.

Know which number you're actually looking at before you make a decision based on it.
