Everything You’ve Been Too Embarrassed to Ask Your Accountant

I’m pretty sure that most (all?) of us didn’t open a boutique fitness studio to stare at spreadsheets and crunch numbers. Yet that’s part of owning a business.

Learn what you really need to know with Coach Lindsey Hammond and guest CPA Kimberly Tara in Episode 657: Everything You've Been Too Embarrassed to Ask Your Accountant.

  • Know your obligations: you’ll owe income, payroll, sales and property taxes
  • Pick smart partners: consider a bookkeeper, tax preparer or accountant 
  • Classify correctly: designate employees or independent contractors 
  • Pay yourself consistently: plan for revenue fluctuations to take home a check
  • Look for loopholes: request that your accountant use tax strategies to pay less

You’ll find in Episode 657 that you don’t have to know everything if you have pros on board. Check out Kimberly,  a CPA-certified tax coach and strategist for mom entrepreneurs.

Catch you there.

With grit and gratitude,
Lisé
