Your 2025 Financial Health Check: What Your Business Actually Needs at Your Size
Is Your Business Ready for Tax Season?
Meet Sarah. Her business makes $2.2M a year, but last week she had to stop everything. Why? Her bookkeeper needed receipts for taxes, and Sarah couldn't find them.
"I knew they were somewhere," she says. "But somewhere isn't good enough when the tax office needs them."
