IMPORTANT
Tax season is in full swing, and it’s important to stay ahead of the upcoming deadlines! Here are some key dates to mark on your calendar:
April 15, 2025: Individual tax returns are due (or file for an extension).
April 15, 2025: Payment for first quarter 2025 estimated business tax due.
Extension Deadline
This only extends the time to file, not the time to pay. Any taxes owed must still be paid by April 15 to avoid penalties
The Role of Bookkeeping in Business Growth
Good bookkeeping is the foundation for a successful business. It’s not just about keeping the books balanced, but about understanding the story they tell.
As the first quarter wraps up, now is the perfect time to check in on your business and finances.
Here are a few questions to guide your Q1 review:
Did you hit your revenue and profit goals?
Is your cash flow steady or feeling tight?
Is your bookkeeping up to date?
What worked well, and what needs improvement?
Taking a moment to reflect helps you make smarter decisions for the months ahead.
What’s one key takeaway from your Q1?
The Key Numbers You Need to Scale Your Business Successfully
Scaling a business is exciting, but growth without financial clarity can lead to cash flow problems, unnecessary debt, and unpredictable expenses. If you’re looking to scale your business successfully, these key numbers will help you stay in control and make informed decisions.
1. Revenue vs. Profit
More sales don’t always mean more profit. Track both to ensure you’re not growing at the expense of your bottom line.
2. Cash Flow
Scaling requires investment. Know exactly what’s coming in and going out so you have enough liquidity to support your growth.
3. Profit Margins
Low margins can make scaling unsustainable. Make sure your pricing and expenses allow for healthy profits at any stage of growth.
4. Recurring Revenue
The more predictable your income, the easier it is to plan ahead and invest in your business with confidence.
5. Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) vs. Lifetime Value (LTV)
Understanding how much you spend to acquire a customer versus how much they bring in over time helps ensure your growth is profitable.
6. Debt-to-Income Ratio
If you’re using financing to scale, make sure your debt is manageable and doesn’t drain your cash flow.
7. Tax Obligations
More revenue often means higher taxes. Stay ahead with proper planning so you’re not caught off guard.
Scaling isn’t just about growing revenue, it’s about growing smart. If you need help organizing your finances and making sense of these key numbers, we’re here to help!
