I just conducted a QuickBook review for an entrepreneur to ensure that everything is properly recorded.

Unfortunately, I discovered that they missed out on over $3,500 in qualified business from 2020!

You can avoid this!

This is the 4th quarter (getting close to year-end) reminder to start collecting W9 forms from vendors and contractors if you haven't collected them already!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you use workers other than employees to perform services for your business and pay them $600 or more for the year, you are required to issue each one a Form 1099 after the end of the year to avoid facing the loss of the deduction for their labor and expenses. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The IRS requires a W-9 form as a means for you to obtain the data required to file 1099s for your vendors.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Have more questions about W9s and 1099s? Ask them in the comments below.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Tired of doing ALL THE THINGS? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
More specifically, are you tired of doing ALL THE THINGS and NOT getting the results you want?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Maybe it's a sign to consider outsourcing!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Specifically, the financial stuff that's stressing you out and interfering with your productivity!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Let us take the stress out of running your business. Schedule a call with us today!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

You didn't leave your 9-5 to work 24-7, did you?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
However, as a business owner, every hour is important and that’s why you have to stay productive to keep your business up and running. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So, how do you save time as an entrepreneur?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Have you heard of batch working? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Batch working is highly-focused, a task-specific form of working. It is dividing your workflow into different days/hours of ONE TASK instead of jumping around from task to task.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
For example, if you have a list of 30 small tasks, it can be easy to get one done rather quickly and then scroll through Instagram. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Then you check another simple task off your list and you pick up a book to read. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Separating your to-do list items into batches helps you dedicate your full attention to those particular tasks, as opposed to multitasking. ​​​​​​​​

Yes! You can be on a budget and enjoy your life!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Because when we’re intentional about how we use these resources, we can make choices that lead to a more fulfilling and satisfying life.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Ask yourself these questions:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
What’s important to your happiness? What do you want to achieve in life? How do you want to use your business to create more impact and value for your community and most importantly for yourself and your family?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Answering these questions can help you figure out how to be intentional with your time, energy, and of course your money.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Once you know this, you can start allocating funds for different purposes. For example, you may want to set aside money for savings, investments, and debt repayment.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Need more clarity on how well your business is running so you can set up a budget that helps you enjoy and achieve the lifestyle you want? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Schedule a call. Let's get to know each other and come up with a solution customized for your needs. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

“You are a result of your own words.” Mahatma Gandhi​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We love this quote because it holds so much truth.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The words we write or speak to others can leave a huge impact and create a lasting memory--either good or bad--so it's super important for us to choose them wisely. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Words can make or break a relationship and our choice of words and the way we express ourselves can accelerate or kill your goals and dreams.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Question for you... What's your favorite daily reminder, share it below!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​
Your team will appreciate that you are investing in the business and in their careers.​​​​​​​​

Remember that failure is rarely fatal and most often is an opportunity to learn.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you have an intentional process to measure everything you do and funnel negative results into changes, you will turn all those learning opportunities into growth and improvement.​​​​​​​​

No time to do your bookkeeping and everything else? Let's start with a couple of the most important tasks:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
1. Review, pay, and record invoice payments to your customers and to your vendors and bills.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Without having this first step thoroughly checked for accuracy and completion, you risk making mistakes in subsequent monthly bookkeeping tasks.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
2. Complete bank reconciliations for bank and credit card accounts.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Before moving on to anything else, you need to review the accuracy of your business cash and credit transactions in order to work with your exact cash position. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
To do so, reconcile your bank accounts and credit cards at the close of each month, helping you easily find and amend any mistakes. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This can be done by reviewing your statements to flag any suspicious credits, debits, canceled transactions, or double charges. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Once you have thoroughly examined your monthly bank and credit statements and are confident in its accuracy, you can complete the rest of your monthly bookkeeping tasks.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Still not sure how to get everything entered?​​​​​​​​
