Don’t pull your 2027 goals out of thin air!

Start with your actual 2026 numbers.

Here’s what to look at:

- Revenue: What did you actually bring in this year?

- Profit: How much did you keep after expenses?

- Expenses: Where did you overspend or where could you cut back?

- Cash flow: Which months were tight and which were strong?

- Best sellers: Which services or products made you the most money?

- Budget vs. actual: Where did you miss or exceed your targets?

Then use those numbers to set realistic revenue goals, build your budget, plan expenses, and forecast your cash flow for 2027.

Your 2026 numbers should help you decide what to do differently in 2027.

But you need accurate, up-to-date books to plan with accurate numbers, and that’s where we can help.

Accounts Receivable (A/R) is money customers owe your business for products or services you’ve already provided.

Accounts Payable (A/P) is money your business owes vendors and suppliers for bills you haven’t paid yet.

Why should you pay attention to both?

Because overdue invoices can hurt your cash flow, while unpaid bills can lead to late fees and strained vendor relationships.

Review your A/R and A/P regularly so you know what needs to be collected and what needs to be paid.

Ask your tax professional about:

- How much you should be setting aside for taxes
- Whether your estimated tax payments need adjusting
- Deductions and tax credits you may qualify for
- Year-end purchases and expenses
- Retirement contributions
- Changes in your income or business
- Tax planning opportunities before year-end

The best time to talk about tax planning is before the year is over, while there’s still time to make decisions.

The old $600 threshold has changed for tax year 2026 and increased to $2,000 for many qualifying payments.

Crucial reminder for all small businesses and gig workers:

Income is still taxable. You’re required to track and report all taxable business income, even if you earn less than $2,000 and don’t receive a 1099.
