TAX READINESS / 3 MIN READ

A calmer year-end starts with organized records.

Five areas to organize before handing your books to a tax professional or external accountant.

Reconciled accounts

Keep bank and credit card reconciliations current and retain the supporting statements. Make outstanding reconciling items visible to the reviewer.

Supporting schedules

Prepare schedules for receivables, payables, loans, fixed assets, payroll balances, and other material accounts relevant to your business.

Business changes

Identify changes in ownership, financing, business activity, asset purchases, or entity structure. Your adviser can determine their accounting and tax implications.

A clear handoff

Agree on documents, responsible contacts, review questions, and delivery timing. Tax rules and filing obligations depend on the jurisdiction and circumstances; confirm them with an appropriately qualified adviser.
