Q4 is your final opportunity to make meaningful adjustments before year end.

Before it begins, take a close look at:

- Profit & Loss: Are you actually profitable so far this year?

- Balance Sheet: Can your current assets cover your upcoming short term liabilities?

- Cash Flow Statement: Where is your cash coming from and where is it going?

- Accounts Receivable Aging: Who still owes you money and which invoices are overdue?

These reports can help you spot problems, adjust your goals, and make better financial decisions heading into the final quarter.

Not confident your reports are accurate? We can help with that.

Here's a quick comparison:

Standard mileage:

- Deduct a set IRS rate for each business mile driven.
- Simpler recordkeeping.
- Best if you don't have many vehicle expenses.

Actual expenses:

- Deduct the business portion of actual vehicle costs like gas, insurance, repairs, maintenance, registration, and depreciation.
- Requires detailed records and receipts.
- May result in a larger deduction for some businesses.

If you use your personal vehicle for business, be sure you're using the correct rate based on the date the miles were driven.

Due to rising fuel prices, the IRS has increased the standard business mileage rate for the remainder of 2026.

Updated business mileage rates:

January 1 to June 30, 2026: $0.725 per mile

July 1 to December 31, 2026: $0.760 per mile

QuickBooks has been rolling out AI updates, and you may notice a few changes ( plus a LOT of pop ups). Here are a few things to know:

- Transactions don't post automatically. You decide what gets added to your books. (For now, this can change)

- Match means the transaction already exists in QuickBooks. You're simply matching it to the bank transaction.

- Categorize means the transaction is new, and you're telling QuickBooks where it belongs.

Think of bank feeds like a helpful assistant. They can save you a lot of time, but you're still the one making the final decisions.

Always review transactions before accepting them into your books.

Old balances in accounts like Uncategorized Income or Uncategorized Expense are usually a sign that something needs attention.

Here's what to do:

- Run a report for the account and review all transactions.
- Open each transaction to identify the vendor, customer, or bank activity.
- Reassign the transaction to the correct income, expense, asset, or equity account.
- Reconcile your accounts to confirm your books are accurate.

These issues are more common than you think, and they can affect your Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, and the accuracy of your tax return.

That's why it's important to review and clean up your books regularly.
