The question of what would motivate you to go back to the office has been asked before, in a multitude of ways, and each time the answer(s) are along a predictable spectrum ranging from “nothing, I’m not going back” to “let’s see the partners return to office first.” This thread is no

As a business owner, getting paid in full and on time is crucial for a healthy cash flow. However, late payments and bad debts are a constant threat looming over an accounts receivables (AR) team.

Tax season is the time when accounting firms and CPAs earn the biggest part of their profit. At the same time, it’s the most stressful period for them. The amount of work drastically increases, as well as the time pressure and mental load. Surviving tax season is a skill that any accountant has to develop, and the earlier, the better. The general workload of the busy period includes getting the end-of-year info from clients, reconciliation, working with tax receipts, income reporting slips, prep

For many retailers, January isn’t just the first month of the year: It’s “return season,” when customers bring back their unwanted holiday gifts for refunds or exchanges. Return season can be fraught for businesses if, for example, a higher percentage of gifts are returned than stores expect. According to the National Retail Association, consumers are expected to have returned more than $816 billion of merchandise (almost 17% of goods sold) in 2022.

We hear a lot about “sales tax obligations,” but who exactly in your company is “obligated?” You are, at least in many states. Since the Supreme Court’s 2018 Wayfair decision, many businesses are required to collect and remit sales tax in multiple states – more so than pre-Wayfair. Various “responsible party” laws across the country mean that a business itself is not the only one at risk: CEOs, CFOs, directors and other execs can be responsible for sales tax shortfalls.

When it comes to tax season, many people are faced with the decision of whether to prepare their own taxes or use an income tax preparation service. While it may seem like an added expense, there are many benefits to using a professional tax preparation service that make it well worth the cost. One of the biggest advantages of using a tax preparation service is the level of expertise they bring to the table.

Online sales could not exist without shipping, and the charges associated with shipping are subject to sales tax in many states. Question is, who has to pay that sales tax these days, and where? For sales tax purposes, you’ll see reference to “shipping,” “shipping and handling” (Arizona taxes these two, for instance) and “delivery”. Three terms with confusing differences as you try to meet sales tax obligations in states and jurisdictions where you have economic nexus.
