Ever wonder why when you mail something to the IRS they don’t have a street address? You just label it “IRS” for the street address. Here is why: They have their own zip code :) Don’t worry, they will get it.
Searchers of Twitter. I know you want to get out of the corporate grind. Use the expertise you have gained in your field and find a way to apply it to the business you buy. What’s on your jersey? If you can use that skill set in the business you buy, I bet you will be both…
The quick access toolbar is PRIME real estate for shortcuts. The first four shortcuts on the toolbar can be done by pressing Alt + 1, Alt + 2, Alt + 3, and Alt + 4. And they are fully customizable. Here is my setup: Stop doing "Alt, H, F, P" for format painter. Use Alt + 1.…
When I call in to customer support and they ask me if I’d be willing to stay on the line for a brief survey after the call, I always say yes. For some reason I feel like my hold time is going to be less if I agree to that. Am I crazy? I know it’s a bit conspiracy theory to…
If you are using VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP still…. You’re living in 2021 It’s time to level up.
Ever wondered why you got paid $50 an hour when your bill rate was $250 per hour? You probably know. But here is a simple explanation why.

Agreed. This is your severance gift. They are giving you some time to look around while you can still get paid!

Am I the only one that doesn’t like the auto-save feature in excel? Sometimes I mess with a file that shouldn’t be messed with, accidentally close expecting to see the “do you want to save” box. But then it doesn’t show up…and my tweaks are now permanent when it closes 😞

Doubled my followers in 7 days! Okay not that impressive as it was from 75 to 150, but still :) As a quick background, I am a CPA with around 10 years experience building an accounting firm for SMB. I focus mainly on tax. I have worked at EY and a few other larger firms and…
Yikes. If you have any customers in California make sure you understand if you need to file there. California probably wants a tax return. If you don’t file, the statute of limitations doesn’t start and California could go very far back and ask for back taxes. If you got a…

My wife is sick. A very bad cold. Crazy when you are healthy you want 1,000 things. When you are sick you just want 1 thing. Good perspective.
Potential acquirers - let me save you some time. Don't purchase the stock of an S-corp, unless you have to. You don't get a step-up in basis for tax purposes and the S-corp may get terminated, which could cause IRS issues. If you want to buy a business that is an S-corp, and you…
I’ve worked on a lot of transactions. If you ever purchase a company, remember to model out your tax liability when you are modeling cash flow. If an asset purchase, you will get lots of amortization for goodwill/intangibles, or depreciation for assets, that will lower your tax…
You may have heard buzz about the child tax credit getting increased for the 2023 tax year. Well, it isn’t increasing, they are just changing some qualifiers and the refundable portion of the credit. Could still help you. But not as sweet as those with kids would like.

As an Anon account, this is obviously biased, but I do think there are some valid reasons to be anon. I know it’s not “as good” as being completely transparent. But it allows folks to share their knowledge, skills, and freelance freely. Many anons do aspire to be non-anon I…
Getting distracted while your computer is “doing something” is a hard habit to break. But you don’t want your computer RAM to dictate your break schedule. Only thing that works for me is taking 10 deep breaths. Usually enough time to get excel to stop spinning! Or that website…

As I get ready for the weekend, I’m reminded of one of my favorite BigLaw stories. I was working on a go private deal (a PE fund buying a public company and taking it private again). We were running like a well oiled machine, because that’s what we did. So I was surprised to…
18 months ago I quit my job. Today I run a 10-people CFO business that serves 40+ clients. Here are my top 10 takeaways from this journey thus far:
@MarginCFO you're about to get cooked. thoughts and prayers
@smbtaxcpa They have a wizard that will magically reduce your bank account without warning if you don't follow the rules.
@smbtaxcpa Yes, they do. Whatever the opposite of "Wonderland" is, that is how I see it.
If anyone is into listening to podcasts, I have this little podcast called Bite Size Business, where I talk to various Small Business owners about their businesses. This one is with one of my friends from my Freedom Boat Club days Links to episode Spotify…

Hey Twitter World. I've been a LinkedIn guy for a while and have had multiple recommendation to try this out. A brief intro - I started and sold a SMB. I bought, ran, and now passively own a SMB. My day to day is helping people buy their first SMB
@SBA_Matthias That deadline isn’t for a LONG time
He's right. 20 pages is way too short. That's why mine are 40 pages long.
Good afternoon to everyone except those who send 20 page tax organizers to their 1040 clients.
I sent this message to 6 families that live in our neighborhood. I think people are craving community, right now. People search for it in communities like Hampton, here on X, etc. But will any of those people watch your children if you have an emergency? Or drop everything…
I took my two little boys (under 5) camping this weekend. We slept in this little tent, went swimming, watched fireworks. They were in their element in the outdoors and didn’t want to come home. Take your kids camping, you won’t regret it.
The single *belief* that most accelerated my progress came from meeting people I looked up to. Turns out, they didn’t have it all figured out. They were flying blind, completely making it up as they went along. This normalized the idea of "success" & made it feel within reach.

SMB Roller coaster of the day: sending out offer to awesome new candidate, then three hours later getting a "Request for reference" about a current employee from another firm. Praying to the gods they both are on the team next week!
Customer: "So how much does it cost?" TurboTax: "$89 if you do it yourself, also $89 if we do it for you, $169 if we help you do it yourself. Oh, but maybe it's free and maybe it's more. Any questions?"
Accounting influencers coming under fire on @myfirstmilpod
If your CPA sucks and/or isn’t responsive, fire them now and get a new one It could cost you tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars working with a mediocre one
