What is the role of bookkeeping in tax preparation? It is the foundation of a good tax plan. If we don't know what the numbers are in business, or if we don't have our expenses properly classified, the likelihood of us missing tax opportunities are huge. So without having those foundational numbers that are accurate and categorized in the right way, opportunities will be lost and will impact the taxes that we have to pay. One of my greatest pieces of advice for every business is to make sure you have a bookkeeper that keeps your information up to date date and that it's accurate. Because if it's not accurate, we can't then rely on it to make good, informed business decisions, which may be part of our tax strategy as well.
