Valentines Day may be long over, but we’re still feelin’ all the love over here - client love, that is 🥰

And it has us *leaping* with joy! (See what we did there? 😉 Because … leap year? … never mind 😅)

We love what we do and we hope it shows in our service.

We are so thankful for kind words like this from CEOs, founders and small business owners like Cristina - it lets us (and others) know we’re on the right track!

Did we just age ourselves with this nod to an early 90’s tune? 🤔 Probably.

But ICYMI: it’s heeeeere 👀

The CRA opened up NETFILE earlier this week, marking the official start of *drumroll* TAX SEASON!

So should you file *right now*?

The answer: it depends.

Filing taxes early means
👉🏽 you get your refund quicker
👉🏽 you have more time to plan ahead and
👉🏽 your risk of identity theft is reduced

BUT it might be better to wait if
👉🏽 your taxes are complicated
👉🏽 you're waiting on documents or
👉🏽 there have been recent tax changes

In any case, when in doubt, ask a pro (we know a few!)

Note to self: make notes … to self … 📝

After any business-related meals or entertainment, scribble a quick note on the back of your receipt about who you met with and why.

It'll save you from wracking your brain later on when you're reconciling your expenses.

Bonus note to self: You can deduct 50 percent of your total meal and entertainment expenses for business purposes, so hold on to allllll the receipts!

With the month winding down, are you ready to wrap things up?

Here's a quick checklist to close out the inaugural month of the year, but you can save this post for the months ahead! 💾

✅ Review your Quickbooks, Xero or whatever software you use, and reconcile all your bank accounts.

✅ Set aside 30% of your finances for taxes.

✅ Review your profit and loss statement from previous months to see how your business is performing.
