National Small Business Day is a wonderful opportunity to show your support for local entrepreneurs and businesses. Here are 10 ways you can celebrate and support small businesses this month: Shop Local: Make a conscious effort to patronize small businesses in your community. Whether it's buying groceries from a local market, getting coffee from a neighborhood café, or shopping at a boutique, your purchases directly contribute to the success of these businesses. Spread the Word: Use your social media platforms to highlight your favorite small businesses. Share photos of your purchases, leave positive reviews on review sites, and encourage your friends and followers to support these establishments as well. Attend Local Events: Many communities organize events or markets to celebrate National Small Business Day. Attend these events to discover new businesses, meet local entrepreneurs, and show your support for the small business community. Gift Certificates: Purchase gift certificates from small businesses to use later or give as gifts to friends and family. Collaborate with Small Businesses: If you're a blogger, influencer, or content creator, consider collaborating with small businesses for sponsored posts, reviews, or giveaways. Offer Your Skills: If you have professional skills such as graphic design, marketing, or accounting, consider offering your services pro bono or at a discounted rate to small businesses in need. Attend Workshops or Classes: Many small businesses offer workshops or classes on various topics such as cooking, crafting, or fitness. Attend these sessions to learn something new while supporting local entrepreneurs. Join a Loyalty Program: Join these programs to enjoy discounts, special offers, and exclusive perks while supporting your favorite local establishments. Write Thank You Notes: Take the time to write personalized thank you notes to small business owners and employees expressing your appreciation for their hard work and dedication. Volunteer or Donate: Offer your time or resources to support small business organizations or initiatives in your community. By implementing these ideas, you can celebrate National Small Business Day in a meaningful way and contribute to the success and sustainability of small businesses in your community.

    If your income changed this year or you had capita If your income changed this year or you had capital gains or new deductions pop up in the fourth quarter, now is a good time to review your numbers. When income increases more than expected, a catch up payment can help reduce penalties. Payments made by January 15 may help lower or even avoid underpayment penalties, so a quick check before that deadline can go a long way. Have a question?

    What your accountant wishes you’d done first, and What your accountant wishes you’d done first, and not just at tax time. Here’s how to set it up: - Start by setting up clear income and cost of goods sold (COGS) accounts at the top of your chart of accounts. Include sales or revenue, returns, and other income, along with COGS accounts like purchases, direct labor, materials, and inventory if applicable. - Use expense accounts that line up with common tax deductions to simplify filing. - Keep owner, payroll, and tax related accounts separate so nothing gets mixed or misreported - Skip overusing the “Miscellaneous” account. Lumping too many expenses into a catch-all category makes it harder to track deductions accurately. - Review and adjust your chart of accounts as your business changes and grows A tax ready chart of accounts keeps reports clear, tax prep smooth, and communication with your accountant easier. If you’re not sure whether your chart of accounts is set up the right way, book a call and let’s make sure it’s truly tax ready. . . . #Taxes #ChartofAccounts #Bookkeeping #Accounting #SmallBusiness
