The first big cut-off is Thursday, April 2nd, and I need your help to keep this momentum going.

Your support helps Two Cats Bookkeeping continue to empower small business owners with no-judgment, plain-English financial clarity.

AI is everywhere in bookkeeping, and while automation is great for sorting data, it misses the heart of your business. 🤖

AI can’t celebrate your big wins or understand the hard work you’ve put in. And it definitely doesn't offer a soothing purr when things get busy! 🐾

At Two Cats Bookkeeping, we pair high-tech efficiency with a high-touch, human approach. Whether it’s a QBO Cleanup or a VIP Day, you get a real partner who translates jargon into plain English. Stacey and Stripey are here to ensure you don’t just have "done" books, but total confidence in your numbers.

Which do you value more: the speed of a robot or the peace of mind from a real person? Let me know below! 👇

Let’s talk 1099s: without the stress! 🐱☕️

Navigating tax updates doesn’t have to be a headache. For the 2026 tax year, the reporting threshold for 1099-NEC forms is $2,000. This is a big change from the older $600 limit, making it much simpler for many of our service-based small business owners.

If you paid a contractor or freelancer $2,000 or more for services during the year, you’ll likely need to send them a 1099. Keeping your books tidy in QuickBooks Online throughout the year is the best way to stay prepared.

At Two Cats Bookkeeping, we’re all about taking the "spooky" out of numbers. Whether you need a full QBO cleanup or just a little guidance, I’m here to help: no judgment, just clear answers in plain English.

Ready to get your 1099s organized? Let’s chat! Book a time with me here: https://twocatsbookkeeping.com/appointment

How are you feeling about tax prep this year?
A) Totally organized and ahead of schedule!
B) Working on it bit by bit.
C) Help, I’m hiding under my desk with the cats. 🐈‍⬛

Ever find yourself staring at QuickBooks at 10 PM, whispering, “I really hope I clicked the right button”? 😅

Starting out DIY is great, but as your business grows, your time becomes your most valuable asset. Here are a few signs it’s time to trade the DIY struggle for expert support:

✨ Reconciling is stealing your Friday nights.
✨ You’re worried about missed deductions (did you know the 2026 1099 limit is now $2,000?).
✨ Your “Uncategorized Expenses” are turning into a mountain.
✨ You’re tired of jargon and just want plain English answers.

At Two Cats Bookkeeping, we provide friendly, no-judgment support. Whether it’s a QBO Cleanup or a VIP Day, Stacey and the team are here to be your true partners. Let's swap the “I hope so” for “I know so.”

Stop the scroll, it’s a big day at the home office! 🎂

Our legendary "Head of Cat-egorizing" (and let’s be honest, the real boss around here), Stripey, is turning 9 today! 🧡

Whether he’s "helping" with QuickBooks Online cleanups by napping on the laptop or making sure the printer is properly supervised, he’s a vital part of the Two Cats Bookkeeping team. Stacey is making sure he gets all the extra treats today, and his little brother Xander is... well, mostly just trying to steal his birthday spotlight.

At Two Cats, we believe bookkeeping should be just like Stripey: stress-free, approachable, and maybe a little bit cozy.

And if your books are currently looking as tangled as a cat with a ball of yarn, we’re here to help you untangle them without the judgment. Book a chat with us here: https://twocatsbookkeeping.com/appointment

Ever feel like your bookkeeper is speaking a different language?

At Two Cats Bookkeeping, we speak human. We know that terms like "accrual basis" or "chart of accounts" can feel like a foreign language when you're just trying to run your small business here in St. Pete.

No judgment. No scary jargon. Just clear, friendly support to help you feel confident about your numbers. Whether your books are currently a bit of a "hairball" or you're ready to fully outsource, Stacey is here to help translate the math into plain English and guide you through QuickBooks Online with ease.

Quick Plain English Tip: Just a reminder that the 1099 reporting threshold is $2,000 for 2026. Keep this in mind as you prep your payments to avoid any surprises!

Ever get that "I hope I’m doing this right" feeling when you’re looking at your QuickBooks? 😅

With all the new AI and automation updates rolling out this year, it can feel like the software is trying to do everything for you: but do you actually understand what it’s doing with your numbers?

That’s exactly why I offer Do-It-With-You (DIWY) support! 🐾

Think of it as having a bookkeeping bestie in your corner (virtually). We work side-by-side to tidy things up, organize those transactions, and make sense of all those automated bank feeds. My goal is to make sure you feel 100% confident managing things yourself, without the jargon or the stress.

Quick heads-up: Since this is high-touch coaching, DIWY is available as an add-on for my established bookkeeping clients who want to level up their skills!
