When has it *ever* been a good idea to wait and procrastinate until the last minute? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ ๐Ÿ˜…

Never, right?

Think about the perfect wedding ๐Ÿ’ and everything involved in planning it:

โ›ช The perfect venue
๐Ÿฝ๏ธ That awesome caterer from your cousinโ€™s wedding
๐Ÿ‘— The perfect dress (with alterations)
๐ŸŽ‚ That amazing 3-tier buttercream wedding cake
๐ŸŒน And all those long-stemmed red roses

All of those things need to be scheduled MONTHS in advance, right?

And if you wait until the last minute โ€ฆ well โ€ฆ your wedding isnโ€™t going to be this seamless stress-free beautiful thing you imagined in your mind.

So you get the point, right?

Youโ€™ve heard the phrase, โ€œThe road to hell is paved with good intentionsโ€, right? ๐Ÿคฃ

Well โ€“ did you know that the road to tax penalties, overdraft fees and even audits is ALSO paved with good intentions? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Lemme know if this sounds familiar:

๐Ÿคž "๐˜ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ช๐˜ต, ๐˜ ๐˜ด๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ณ"

I know, you know itโ€™s important to update your companyโ€™s bookkeeping and financial records, like bank statements and client payments.

BUT - itโ€™s not the ONLY important thing, right?? Youโ€™re trying to grow your business AND have some kind of personal life, too.

So something that doesnโ€™t feel urgent โ€ฆ itโ€™s easy to back-burner it

๐Ÿคž "๐˜•๐˜ฐ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ, ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ, ๐˜ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฆ, ๐˜'๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ค๐˜ฉ ๐˜ถ๐˜ฑ"

I know, you know youโ€™re a little (or a lot) behind, so you tell yourself youโ€™ll get to it this weekend

โ€ฆ Until your kid reminds you about that birthday party you already committed to this Saturday.

๐Ÿคž "๐˜ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ญ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜บ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ด - ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜›๐˜๐˜Œ๐˜• ๐˜'๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ช๐˜ต"

I know, youโ€™re already working 80-hour weeks just trying to stay afloat. How do you find time for those non-urgent (but still important) things when EVERYTHING is an emergency?

Your finances waited this long, they can wait a little longer โ€ฆ right?

Hereโ€™s the problem:

๐™„๐™ฉ ๐™ ๐™š๐™š๐™ฅ๐™จ ๐™๐™–๐™ฅ๐™ฅ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ

And suddenly itโ€™s tax season. And a pile of good intentions has added up to:

๐Ÿ’ต Unpaid + overdue payments from clients

๐Ÿ’ต Overdraft fees from your bank

๐Ÿ’ต And tax fines from the IRS

Iโ€™ve seen this happen to my clients.

And I donโ€™t want this happen to you, too โค๏ธ

So give up your good intentions โ€“ and just reach out โค๏ธ

Every single day, Iโ€™m helping my clients stay current and ready for tax season and Iโ€™d love to help do the same for you.

โ€œ โฐ More Time! ๐Ÿ’ต More Money! โ˜ฎ๏ธ Less Stress!โ€

Sounds too good to be true, right?

If one thing advertises all of those features, it sounds about as realistic as a commercial for an overnight diet pill, right? ๐Ÿ˜œ

You definitely wouldnโ€™t think that someone like a ๐˜ฝ๐™Š๐™Š๐™†๐™†๐™€๐™€๐™‹๐™€๐™ could offer all of those crazy-awesome things โ€ฆ right? ๐Ÿง

Hereโ€™s the funny thing โ€“ unlike the overnight diet pill, a great bookkeeper (like me!) really can help you work less, earn more, and stress less! โค๏ธ

DID YOU KNOWโ€ฆ.

โฐ ๐— ๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—˜ ๐—ง๐—œ๐— ๐—˜

Starling Bank reported that the average small business spends nearly 20% of their time every week (15 hours - !) handling bookkeeping tasks ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

How much more could you accomplish โ€“ and bill! โ€“ with TWO EXTRA DAYS every single week??

๐Ÿ’ต ๐— ๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—˜ ๐— ๐—ข๐—ก๐—˜๐—ฌ

Think how much more you could earn with 15 extra BILLABLE hours every week! (If you bill your time at $50/hr, thatโ€™s an extra 3 THOUSAND dollars every month!)

Not to mention all the costs youโ€™ll save with a bookkeeperโ€™s help, like:

๐Ÿ’ต Overdraft charges from your bank (about $35 each time it happens!)

๐Ÿ’ต Fines from payroll mistakes (it happens to 40% of business owners!)

๐Ÿ’ต Filed your taxes late? That could be up to a 25% fine

๐Ÿ’ต And more!

โ˜ฎ๏ธ ๐—Ÿ๐—˜๐—ฆ๐—ฆ ๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—ฆ๐—ฆ

And if youโ€™re making an extra $3k every month - and no longer have to work weekends to keep up - I think itโ€™s safe to assume your stress level will go WAY down.

Basically, I just want you to know that, right now, you can get the help you need to work less, earn more, and have less stress in your business โค๏ธ and itโ€™s as simple as hiring a great bookkeeper. ๐Ÿ˜‰

You can call, email, or message me!
