✈️ Heading out on a business trip and adding a few vacation days?

A little planning can go a long way when it comes to documenting expenses and understanding what may be deductible.

If you run your own company and travel for business, you might be tempted to mix work with pleasure. That's fine as long as you follow tax rules. Your tax professional can advise you on what you can or cannot do.

Thank you to Association for Corporate Growth (ACG)- Minnesota for hosting a great discussion at the recent event, BOLDest Transition of the Year.

Firm Partner Andy Knutson joined a panel of experts to walk through a real-world M&A transaction, sharing insights on the sale process, deal structure, and the collaboration required to bring a transaction across the finish line.

Andy has helped out with a number of number of different buy/sell transactions of various sizes. The case study discussed at this event was a complete sale to an outside buyer.

One of Andy's favorite elements of this type of work is the team approach. Successful transactions often involve attorneys, investment bankers, accountants, and other advisors working together to help business owners achieve their goals, so it was a great opportunity to get into one room with the entire "deal" team, connect with colleagues, and answer thoughtful questions from an audience deeply familiar with the M&A space.

☀️ Summer is an important time for small business owners to conduct a quick mid-year tax review.

One common mistake taxpayers make during the summer is underestimating their potential tax liability come year-end.

Check out the article for additional areas you should check at this midway point of the year.

Tax planning isn't just for the end of the year or your review at the beginning of a new year. Being proactive and reviewing your tax strategy mid-year can give you a competitive edge and prepare you for success during the 2026 tax season.

These photos encompass her three favorite things:
• Cheering on the MN Vikings (picture taken outside the locker room at U.S. Bank Stadium)
• Time with her kids (they're recreating an old photo taken 12 years ago at that same spot at Minnehaha Falls)
• A family trip this spring with the newest member of their family, an 11 month old black lab, Tank.
