?? Exciting News! ?? I am incredibly honored and thrilled to share that I have been nominated for the Top 50 Women in Accounting from Ignition for 2024! ?? I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for the nomination! ?? Starting my firm full-time just over a year ago, this nomination marks a significant milestone. My journey in the accounting industry has always been driven by a passion for inspiring change. Whether it's working closely with smaller companies or advocating for more diversity and inclusivity in the field, my goal has always been clear. I have always led with a teacher's heart, never considering I would receive anything other than the pure joy and satisfaction of seeing others grow and succeed with just a little help or support. This recognition is a testament to the incredible community that supports and uplifts each other, and I am so grateful for it! From the onset of taking my firm full-time, my plan has always been to grow it into a CPA firm that brings more diversity into the field, leveraging the tools I've learned through my neurodivergent journey and my experiences in the industry. Thank you, Ignition, for recognizing all the incredible women in accounting through these awards! The Women in Accounting Awards celebrate those who drive change, support others, and are all-around great women in the field. I am proud to be among such inspiring women who excel in their craft and uplift others through resilience, leadership, and mentorship. Thank you for this incredible honor. Together, we can continue to drive positive change in the accounting community! ??? #Top50WomenInAccounting #AccountingandAccountants #Ignition

I highly recommend against preparing your own tax return if you are a business owner ?? Not paying a qualified tax preparer, you probably think you're saving hundreds or thousands of dollars… but I can almost guarantee you that you are actually losing money ?? Let me share a story with you. I had a new client who came to us this past tax season and had a self-prepared tax return. As I started asking industry-specific questions and really digging into the information presented… I realized they were missing out on credits and forgot a few expenses. At the end of the day, those items would have saved them $15,000 in taxes! Consider this for a second ?? They could have paid an experienced preparer a fraction of what they were about to pay the IRS and kept thousands in their pockets! If you don’t have a CPA and need one, reach out and let’s see if I can help you too! #accountingandaccountants #construction #constructionindustry #smallbusiness #business

Mental health when you are a entrepreneur is so important ?? When you’re juggling all of the things: marketing, sales, customer jobs, family, and other obligations… it can be overwhelming and the decision fatigue! In this grind culture, it’s easier to put off self care because it doesn’t generate money….?? But think about that for a minute. When you give yourself time away from the business, you feel more relaxed and refreshed. When your relaxed and refreshed you can think more clearly and sell better because you feel better. I just spent Friday afternoon through Monday away from the business… camping on a farm with little reception and so many animals ?? The world didn’t stop and having barely any reception helped me with staying away from work, but still gave me relief if there was an emergency. Where do you love to go or would you love to go on vacation? #accountingandaccountants #construction #constructionindustry #smallbusiness #business

People talk a lot about automation saving them time. (Which is important.) But automation al so greatly helps improve this. ?? The client experience! As a result of the automation we use at my firm, ? Client touchpoints occur with ease ? Everyone always knows what to do and when to do it ? I have peace of mind that everyone and everything is being taken care of Little things like setting up an email to remind you to send a proposal after you hold a prospect call go a long way. I also like to help my clients implement automation into their workflows. For example, we set up automation around invoicing to make outstanding invoice reminders are sent out timely. ?? I urge you to research how you can automate some of the processes in your business, or your firm, so you can save time and improve the client experience. Do you use automation in your business? I would love to know what processes you have automated in the comments below. #software #construction #constructionindustry #smallbusiness #business
