Close out the Year by Thinking about End of Year Business Finances
Yeah, we know this isn't the most popular topic, but your business financials and taxes are an important part of the health of your personal portfolio in addition to your business health. So let's dive into some tips and tricks to help you navigate the world of business taxes.
First, it's important to stay organized throughout the year. This means keeping track of all your financial transactions, such as income, expenses, and receipts. By staying organized, you can easily access this information when it comes time to file your taxes.
Next, consider hiring a professional accountant or tax advisor. They have the expertise and knowledge to help you maximize deductions and minimize any potential liabilities. They can also help with creating a tax strategy for your business that fits within your financial goals.

Close out the Year with 5 Important Questions
Self-reflection is a fantastic thing to do any time of the year. In fact, we highly recommend asking yourself these questions throughout the year. However, at the end of a year, season, or project, it is especially a good time to check and in and see how things are going. It's a chance to take stock of where you are and where you want to go. So, let's take a moment together and look back on the year that has passed.
As we reflect, it's important to keep in mind that this is not about judging yourself or your accomplishments. This is simply an opportunity for self-awareness and growth. And remember, progress is not always linear – there will be ups and downs, setbacks and successes. The key is to use these reflections as valuable learning experiences.
So, grab a pen and paper or open up a new document on your computer, because it's time for some self-reflection!
