Have you ever heard about the W9 form? It is an important form and more than likely, you’ve either had a request for this form, or you yourself may be requesting them from your vendors. This form is used to collect information about others but knowing in advance that you need to request this information will not only save you valuable time, but it will also give you the information you need to file necessary and accurate documents for your business as well. In today’s episode, I am covering what the W9 form is, who you need to request them from and what you need to do with the information once you receive it. It doesn’t matter if you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave or FreshBooks, or if you are doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document, you will need this information for your business. Whether you are just getting started with your business, you are a self-employed, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, remote virtual online bookkeeper, virtual assistant or VA, you need to know why this form will make an impact on you and your business. The W9 form is one of the first steps in the process for filing your 1099s and making sure you have this information can save you from getting penalties from delinquent filing requirements…

We are coming to the end of another year and it’s time to really look closely at your finances so that you are prepared when it comes time to file your taxes. Today I am talking about a common misconception when it comes to figuring out what your taxable income is. Many business owners will take a look at their business bank account and think this is the number they will need to pay their taxes on, but this is not accurate, and it causes a lot of problems when it comes down to calculating taxes owed on taxable income, especially if that bank account balance is lower than the actual net income. This can bring about a large tax liability that you may not be ready for. I’ve heard many times that business owners don’t think they will owe taxes because they only have about a small dollar amount in their bank account. This in theory seems like it should be the answer, but you’ll find out today what can cause this number to not match what your true profit and loss or net income amount is. It doesn't matter if you are using a computerized bookkeeping system such as QuickBooks, Xero, Wave or Freshbooks or a manual spreadsheet using Excel or Google Sheets, you still need to get your net income to prepare your tax return. Whether you are just getting started with your business, you are a self-employed, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, remote virtual online bookkeeper, virtual assistant or VA, you really want to pay attention to this episode, so you don’t fall into this same belief. I want to make sure that you are as prepared as possible for filing your taxes and you don’t find any surprises when you figure out what your tax consequences are for the year…

When you are thinking about starting a bookkeeping business, you first want to make sure that being a bookkeeper is right for you, and you need to know what a bookkeeper does. To do this, make sure you check out episodes 55 and 57 in this bookkeeper series. One of the next things you start to wonder about is how much will it cost to start a bookkeeping business. You’ve heard me talk about how bookkeeping businesses are one of the top most profitable businesses. Part of the reason for this is the low cost and overhead it requires to run the business. We all know that bookkeeping isn’t for everyone, but if it is for you, you know it can be profitable. That’s why bookkeeping businesses work so well for stay-at-home parents, new moms, side-hustlers looking for additional income, individuals who want a career change, accountants and bookkeepers working for an employer, college students needing extra income and retired individuals – or individuals getting close to retirement and are looking for supplemental income. In today’s episode, I am going to cover what the costs of starting a bookkeeping business are and just how surprised you might be about the amount of money you would need to spend to get started in a business that you will have total control of. By starting a bookkeeping business, you get to take on as much or as little work as you want. You get to decide how much money you’d like to make, and you are finally in control of your calendar and schedule so that you can take time off to enjoy life’s simple pleasures without any of the guilt you may have had in the past from working for an employer. Listen in today and you’ll see just how affordable starting your own bookkeeping business is and how you can take back control of your life…

I know that there are times when owning your own business can be hard. It is easy to focus on negative thoughts and things that are not going quite like you had hoped in your business, but have you ever thought about changing your thought process a bit? Did you know that gratitude is scientifically proven to promote happiness, improve your mental and physical health and increase productivity? What would you think about making a slight mind shift and turn your focus towards gratitude? Did you know that if you focus on gratitude, your chances of your business being successful increase? This is all possible, and I am not telling you that you need to start some kind of crazy new process that you don’t have time for. You know that I totally understand most business owners don’t have a lot of extra time in their day. In today’s episode, I am going to talk about how you can simply incorporate gratitude in your business and see positive results, whether you are just getting started with your business, you are a self-employed, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, remote virtual online bookkeeper, virtual assistant or VA. You’ve heard the phrase what you focus on grows, right? Well today we are going to work on shifting your mindset towards gratitude. You are going to focus on what you are thankful for, and you’ll see just how this creates not only positive results in your business, but I promise, you’ll see a difference in your personal life as well. This is the perfect time of the year for you to dive deep into what you are grateful for, and I want you to know before we even begin, that I am grateful for you…

When you own your own business and you have employees, or you are planning on hiring employees, you need to have a basic understanding of payroll. You must have this understanding whether you are going to process your own payroll, or you are going to hire someone to do your payroll for you. You, as the business owner are ultimately responsible for everything related to payroll in your business. There is a lot to know about payroll, but once you have the general understanding, it is pretty simple to understand. If you have questions regarding payroll for your business, this episode is going to be perfect for you. I am going to cover the essentials that every business owner needs to know about payroll. Have you found yourself asking these questions: What is the difference between an independent contractor and an employee? What are my payroll reporting requirements? How do I know how much to pay my employees? What are the minimum wage requirements? How do I remit my employee’s payroll taxes? What are employer payroll taxes? How do I prepare a W2 for my employee? What is the best payroll solution for me to process payroll? Or, how can the ADP payroll solution help me in my business? In today’s episode, I dive deep into these questions and more. I want you to ensure you fully understand the implications of payroll in your business. If you don’t have any employees yet, understanding how adding payroll to your business will be extremely important. Not only will you have an employee you are responsible for, but the expenses that come along with that employee will definitely have an impact on your bottom line. Whether you are just getting ready to start your small business, you’re a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, remote virtual online bookkeeper or virtual assistant, I’ll help you understand the basics of payroll. Understanding payroll doesn’t have to be complicated, so let’s get started so that I can break it down and simplify it for you today…

If you are one of my regular listeners, you’re probably wondering why there is an additional episode this week. Well, today I have something special for you. I’ve decided to do an extra series of podcast episodes for bookkeepers, but don’t worry, my normal weekly podcasts will drop at their regular times. I know that the listeners of this podcast are made up of a mixture of entrepreneurs who either what to start their own business, they are self-employed, solopreneurs, small business owners, bookkeepers and virtual assistants. Since I provide information on managing your small business finances, this mixture of listeners is expected, but I wanted to have a series of podcast episodes for individuals that will focus on bookkeepers, those who are thinking about or want to start a bookkeeping business or already have a bookkeeping business but want to grow or scale their existing bookkeeping business. If you are a business owner and you are wondering if you should be doing your own bookkeeping, this episode will be helpful for you as well, and you may learn a thing or two about doing your own bookkeeping. I know that bookkeepers are in demand, and this is the time of the year when business owners are searching for bookkeepers to help them with their finances, whether they are using QuickBooks, Xero, Wave or a spreadsheet like Xcel or Google Sheets. I am going to start this series off with a question I want you to ask yourself if you are thinking about starting a bookkeeping business. Is owning a bookkeeping business right for you, and if so, how do you start a bookkeeping business? Bookkeeping isn’t the right fit for everyone, so if you’ve been thinking about starting a bookkeeping business, listen in to today’s episode where I will cover what it takes to be a bookkeeper and by the end of this episode, you’ll know if you have what it takes to own a bookkeeping business, and if bookkeeping is right for you…

Investing in yourself is important, and you as a business owner or potential business owner need to understand how valuable you are personally to your business. I know your time is limited and cherished. You may be thinking that if you are not working in your business and generating money that you aren’t being successful. But I want you to take a step back and see just how important you, yes you, are to your business. Imagine for a minute that you were taken completely out of your business. How would your business continue? Would it run smoothly without you, or would it completely stop? When you take note of the impact you are making on your business, you may think twice about how you should be investing in yourself. When investing in yourself, each and every one of these investments will ultimately pass through to your business. This is the exact reason why it is so crucial for you to continue to invest in yourself to help your business flourish. I believe it was Tony Robbins who said, “If you are not growing, you are dying.” Let that sink in for a bit. So, if you personally are not growing, how would you be able to lead your business to grow? In today’s episode, I am talking about the top ways you can invest in yourself. I’m not saying you need to spend lots of money to do this, I’ll be talking about lots of ways you can do this for free or with little monetary investment. The goal here is to realize you need to do this and start on a path to continuously invest in yourself and continue to grow as a business owner. Listen in so that you have a strategic plan to invest in yourself, whether you are still working your 9 to 5, you want to start your own business, you’ve already started your business, you are an entrepreneur, solopreneur, bookkeeper or virtual assistant and you want to start seeing positive returns on yourself and your business…

Since my previous podcast on The Great Resignation episode number 49, I have had quite a few conversations with entrepreneurs just like you who are thinking about starting their own business but are unsure if it is right for them. They wonder if it is the right time, and they wonder what they should be researching to make sure they are covering all their bases before taking that big leap. I personally love talking with entrepreneurs about this topic. It is truly a passion of mine. I love hearing all the ideas, the plans and most of all I love seeing the energy and excitement from the entrepreneurs as they share their passion and their business ideas with me. In today’s episode, I am going to go over the typical signs you can look for to see if you are ready to start your own business. Some are pretty straight forward, but others may have never crossed your mind…and they are all very important. If you are one of the many individuals out there who have thought about starting a business, but you are just not sure if you have what it takes, this episode is definitely for you. It doesn't matter if you are using a computerized computerized bookkeeping system like QuickBooks, Wave, Xero or FreshBooks or a manual system such as an Excel spreadsheet or Google Sheets, you will need to make sure that you have your bookkeeping and business finances as one of your top priorities when you start a business. Listen in, whether you are just getting ready to start your small business, you’re a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, remote virtual online bookkeeper, or virtual assistant. Even if you have already started your business, make sure you have thought about all these steps so that you can bring your passion to life with the successful business you have been dreaming of…
