Is reconciling your accounts down to the penny really the best use of your Sunday evening?

At some point the math changes. When an hour of your time is worth more than what it costs to hand something off, doing it yourself becomes the expensive option.

I love these conversations with business owners. Outsourcing was never about doing less for me. It was about putting my time where the business actually grows.

If you love doing your own books, keep doing them! And when you're ready to hand them off, we're here. ๐Ÿ“š

What's the first thing you outsourced or the next thing on your list?

If yours is already filed, celebrate! ๐ŸŽ‰ If it isn't, check in with your preparer today so nothing slips.

And if this year felt like a scramble, let's change that for next year. We keep our clients' books reconciled month by month, so tax time becomes a simple handoff instead of a scavenger hunt.

Yep. Someone actually told me that when I was starting my accounting firm! ๐Ÿ˜‚

During my recent trip to Nashville for Advisory Amplified, I had the opportunity to stay at Creator House as a guest of Meridian. ๐ŸŽฌ๐Ÿก

Between filming sessions, we were encouraged to share some of the lessons we've learned as firm owners.

And when someone asked, โ€œWhat's the worst business advice you've ever received?โ€

Oh, I had an answer for THAT one! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Five years into building Brown Business Solutions LLC | The Tax Minded Bookkeeperยฎ, I've learned a thing or two about running a firm, building relationships, and doing things my own way.

And one thing I know for sure? Talking to my clients is NOT a bad thing! โค๏ธ

Here's a little behind-the-scenes moment from Creator House!
Special thanks to Meridian and Fearless Foundry for the opportunity!

Starting with 2026 returns, you no longer have to itemize to get a deduction for your charitable giving.

If you take the standard deduction, you may be able to deduct gifts that are:

โ†’ Paid in cash (check and card count)
โ†’ Made to a qualifying charity
โ†’ Up to $1,000, or $2,000 if you file jointly

Gifts of clothing, household items or donor-advised fund contributions don't count toward this one.

So give generously and keep those receipts. What causes are you supporting this year?

Definitely share below! ๐Ÿ’›

An extension gives you more time to file. It doesn't give you more time to pay. And it doesn't stretch past October 15.

Here's what's due on Thursday, October 15:
โ†’ Extended individual returns (Form 1040) โ†’ Extended calendar-year C corporation returns (Form 1120)

I've shared before that the business owners who feel calm at tax time aren't lucky. Their books were ready when it was time to file. If you're still pulling receipts together this week, let that be your sign for 2027.

Where are you right now: filed, almost there or just remembering? Share below!

For payments made in 2026, the Form 1099-NEC threshold goes from $600 to $2,000.

If you're a service-based business owner who works with contractors, that means anyone you paid less than $2,000 this year may not need a 1099 from you in January.

Mind you, the work doesn't disappear. Here's what we're telling our clients right now:

โ†’ Keep collecting a W-9 before the first payment
โ†’ Track what you pay each contractor in your books, not just your bank app
โ†’ Check your state, since some states have their own reporting rules

The business owners who have this organized in October are the ones who breeze through January. Are you tracking contractor payments as you go, or saving it all for year-end?

Yes, I'm going to show you what happened last month...

But I'm also going to point out which numbers changed (and by how much), ~why~ that matters for your business, and which questions I think you should be asking next.

Knowing your bottom line is great, but seeing *how* you got there helps you repeat profitable months over and over again!
