It is impossible to grow without delegating tasks and finding skilled people to help us.

Lots of accountants I work with used to struggle to charge what they feel they’re worth for the work they do. Sadly I can’t just wave a magic wand to change things. Mostly what’s required is an increase in confidence and improved communication. Easy to say, but not so easy to put into practice. One accountant I mentored told me that he was quite happy with his basic fee quotes.

By now most businesses that sell online have heard about nexus, the connection that a company has with a jurisdiction that ignites a sales tax obligation.

Is Software as a Service (SaaS) taxable? The short answer to this common question: Maybe. Each state treats taxation of SaaS slightly differently, although many states do consider it taxable. Even if a state doesn’t require sales tax on SaaS, the company may still need to file if they pass a certain threshold of sales. SaaS really encompasses three types of services: SaaS; Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS) and Platform as a Service (PAAS).

Now that Labor Day has passed, it’s a good time to think about making moves that may help lower your small business taxes for this year and next. The standard year-end approach of deferring income and accelerating deductions to minimize taxes will likely produce the best results for most businesses, as will bunching deductible expenses into this year or next to maximize their tax value.
