What is a bookkeeper, accountant, and CPA?

Jun 12, 2024

I’m currently in the middle of packing for a beach trip. Yes, I’m already dreaming of the ocean waves and sand between my toes! You know how it is — getting all those last-minute things done, so I can truly relax and not think about anything business-related while I’m away. But before I hit the […]

Self-Employment Tax Overview

Jun 5, 2024

I’ve got some exciting news to share, and it’s not just about my daughter Adalynn’s first swim class. Though that was pretty adorable!  Picture a 14-month-old and her daddy singing songs and kicking in the pool! My heart melted into a puddle!  I can’t wait for the next one! Watching her splash around and learn […]

Ordinary and Necessary Business Expenses

May 1, 2024

This week, I was on a mission to find new wedding shoes. The souls peeled off the front of one of my pairs from last year, and the other was starting to rip down the side. I put them to good use. I figured that probably wouldn’t be the best look on a wedding day… […]

What are Business Travel Expenses?

Apr 24, 2024

So far this year, I have turned on the OOO responder and traveled to Texas and Florida! I had never been to Texas before, and Florida is always a favorite place to visit.

It’s Valentine’s Day. We all get a little dressed up and hop into the car for a dinner out. It’s our first time celebrating as a family of three. We pull into the restaurant parking lot with our eyes set on a spot. Then all of a sudden… The entire car viciously drops and pops […]
