Your day-to-day life as a business owner is filled with write-offs... if you only know where to look. 👀

And trust me, I know where to look. 🙂‍↕️

I'm definitely not qualified to practice medicine, but I *am* qualified to diagnose these problems in a contractor's books...

And coincidentally, you can find all the cures on my website! 🤭

The business DIY bookkeeping equivalent of "my steak is too juicy, my lobster's too buttery"...

And outsourcing your bookkeeping to me is the only logical next step. 🤷

If you tuned into a livestream of my office right now, you'd see me doing my happy dance for a *good* tax change! 🥳

The Form 1099-NEC threshold for payments made in 2026 has INCREASED from $600 to $2,000.

Basically, if your business paid a nonemployee (like a contractor, freelancer, or other non-exempt service provider) less than $2,000 this year, you may not be required to issue them a 1099.

This might mean fewer tax filings you have to do next January, but what does it mean for you right now? ↓

Keep collecting W-9s from your contractors and tracking how much you pay to each of them!

Then, hope for at least one fewer form to file in 2027! 😜

Maybe you're just waiting on that one large job...

But if you read this post and recognize your business in it, don't panic.

Understanding that cash flow is the problem is the start to fixing said issue!

Cash flow problems are common, but they do NOT have to be your business's norm. 🙂‍↔️

To start getting your cash flow back under control, make a list of ALL of your expected cash inflows and ALL of your expected bills + expenses for the next month.

It's not always about spending less or making more. Sometimes, the fix is just getting strategic with timing!

I believe in the power of manifestation AND checking your P&L to make sure your numbers back those goals up! 😜

Not everyone can be out there building and fixing amazing things... someone has to keep an eye on the numbers, too! 😜

Those five minutes you spent in the Starbucks drive-thru waiting for your PSL? ☕

It's time to use them to get ~ahead~ on your bookkeeping!

Plus, you can do them from your phone. No sketchy free WiFi to your laptop needed! 💻

Being the boss isn't always super glamorous, but there are a few perks of the gig for sure! 😏

Happy National Boss's Day to all my contractors and restaurant owners out there making boss moves!

Your P&L's job isn't just to sit there and look ✨pretty✨ (even though the financials I send to my restaurant clients totally do)...

You need to be putting those financial statements to WORK!

And by work, I mean looking at these 3 numbers from your financial statements, bare minimum, every month.

Let your numbers show you where to focus your time + energy to grow your restaurant business!
