Tax Season Is Coming—Is Your Bookkeeping Ready?
1:31

Financial ducks in a rowIf you're a small business or nonprofit, tax season can feel like a surprise party you didn’t ask for. But with a little prep—and a reliable accounting service—you can turn chaos into clarity. Whether you're catching up in QuickBooks or outsourcing your accounting for the first time, now’s the time to get your financial ducks in a row. 

K-1s, 1099s, and All That Jazz 

Year-end tax planning isn’t just about crunching numbers—it’s about communication. Make sure your financial records are current, your accountant has what they need, and your investors get their K-1s without a last-minute scramble. 

And don’t forget those 1099s! If you paid contractors over $600 for services like bookkeeping, legal work, or marketing, you’ll need to send them a 1099-MISC. That means having W-9s on file, vendor info organized, and your data ready to roll. 

Outsourcing = Peace of Mind 

Outsource accounting doesn’t mean giving up control—it means gaining a partner who knows the ropes. A bookkeeping service like BudgetEase helps you stay up to date, organized, and stress-free, so you can focus on what you do best. 

Check out our free Resource: https://www.budgetease.biz/resources/year-end-tax-planning to help with dates and a year-end checklist.

Because spreadsheets don’t come with a panic button. Contact BudgetEase today and let us help you make tax season feel less like a horror movie and more like a well-rehearsed play.
