Tax season is a time that many dread—not just because of the payments owed, but also the mountain of paperwork that comes with preparing for it. For employees, the tax-filing process is often quite simple. However, for entrepreneurs and small business owners, things can get a little more complicated. If you identify as a business owner, this article is tailored just for you!
Are You a Financial Whiz or a Disorganized Dreamer?
Financial Whiz: Your expense reports or accounting software are updated consistently each month.
Disorganized Dreamer: Your receipts are stuffed into a box (if they’ve been saved at all!), turning tax season into a mad dash.
Which category do you fall into?
If you find yourself in the “financial whiz” group, congratulations! You’re likely running a well-organized, thriving business.

Don’t fret; being disorganized doesn’t equate to failure. This year, we encourage you to tackle your receipts, bookkeeping, and tax responsibilities in a new way.
