If you have ever called our office and walked away feeling like your books were actually under control, there is a good chance Alicia had something to do with it.

Alicia Lazzaro is our Accounting Manager. With 20+ years in accounting, 13 of those in public accounting, and a CPA exam pass under her belt, Alicia brings precision, patience, and the kind of calm competence that clients genuinely notice.

We are lucky to have her, and so are the clients she looks after every day!

We are almost halfway through 2026. Before you get to July, take 30 minutes and run through this checklist.

The business owners who catch problems in June fix them for pennies. The ones who catch them in December pay for it.

✅ Compare YTD revenue to budget:
Are you ahead, behind, or on track? If behind, what changed, and is it a trend or a one-time blip?

✅ Review your cash reserves:
Do you have 2 to 3 months of operating expenses set aside? If not, start building that buffer now while cash flow allows.

✅ Confirm your estimated tax payments:
Have you been paying quarterly? Are the amounts still accurate given where your income is tracking?

✅ Plan major purchases before year-end:
Planning a big equipment buy or property investment? Talk to your CPA now, not in December, so you can time it for maximum tax benefit.

✅ Revisit your business structure:
Has your income or ownership changed significantly? Make sure your entity type still makes the most financial sense.

A quick reminder for business owners, freelancers, and self-employed professionals: your Q2 estimated tax payment is due June 15.

If your business had a strong start to the year or your income has increased since January, now is a good time to take another look at your estimated payment. A small adjustment today can help you avoid penalties and surprises later.

Not sure what you should be paying? You are not alone. We help business owners work through these questions every day.

Your bookkeeping should do more than record what already happened.

If the only thing you are getting from your books is a monthly bank reconciliation, you are using old information to make current decisions.

The right system can help you see your current cash position, which clients or jobs are most profitable, where expenses are creeping up, and whether you are on pace for your year-end tax estimate.

We set up systems that give business owners real-time visibility, not just end-of-month reports.

Because you should not have to wait to know how your business is doing.
