Q: Dear Ruchi, With the year wrapping up, as a business owner, what are some smart ways I can reflect on my progress, fine-tune my finances, and set myself up for an even better year ahead? I am determined to make 2025 my best year yet and want to start
Dear Ruchi, I am finally at a place in my small business journey where I am breaking out of my scarcity mindset. There is so much going on in the world and at times I feel helpless. What makes me feel most impactful is making donations to funds, charities, etc. that help causes I am passionate about. I feel better when I do this but want to make sure I am being smart about how I donate, especially when doing so under the identity of my business. Can you help?
Dear Ruchi, as Q3 comes to a close, reality is setting in! I can’t believe tax season is approaching again. This year, I want to do things differently and be more prepared. I always wait until the last minute but this year I really want to set myself up for success. What should I start doing now to get ahead of the game?
Q: Dear Ruchi, this is my first year running my own business and I am a little nervous heading into tax season. I’ve been organized with my business expenses but still worry about missing things. I’ve heard from my colleagues that there are a lot more deductions I can take since I work from a home office. What are some things I might be missing?
Dear Ruchi, Tax time always brings up so much anxiety for me. I run my own business so things aren’t as simple as they used to be when I simply had my corporate paycheck. To be honest, I never know where to start when it comes to getting organized for the filing deadline. Do you have any advice as to how to prepare? Next year I want it to be seamless with minimal stress. I am ready to make a change!
Dear Ruchi, last year I had an incredibly high tax bill that I was not prepared for. I was SO shocked and still quite frankly don’t fully understand how taxes work for a business owner like me. I don’t want to be in the same position this year and need some guidance on how to avoid this in the future.
Dear Ruchi, I have an old client invoice that I am just realizing was never paid. Is there a way to get a tax deduction on this? What should I do?
Dear Ruchi, this is my first official year as a business owner. I am getting worried about tax season even though it is many months away. When it comes to anything accounting related, I instantly feel stressed and confused.
