However big or small your business is, you’re familiar with the notions of accounts receivable and accounts payable as integral parts of accounting. These two ledger lists are available on your balance sheet and indicate how well your business is performing. They act as two sides of an equation – if you neglect either side, it will affect the financial health and stability of your venture.

Complying with your sales tax obligations involves a lot of variables – your nexus, taxability of your products, type of customer you are selling to, etc. Another key factor that effects your sales tax obligations is related to exempt transactions and exemption certificates. Exemptions are statutory exceptions eliminating the need for the retailer to collect sales tax on a particular transaction or on all transactions with a customer.

On 6/1/22, the IRS made available an update to the “Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide” (Publication 5653). Originally issued in 2004, the purpose of the Audit Techniques Guide (ATG) was to offer guidance to IRS auditors auditing cost segregation studies. Because the ATG is an interpretation of the law, as opposed to the law itself, it cannot be cited as precedent.

Traditional budgeting and forecasting methods can no longer keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving business environment. Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty. To stay ahead, finance leaders must leverage a future-forward approach—one that leverages real-time data, predictive analytics, and continuous planning to drive smarter financial decisions.

QuickBooks Online uses an Invoice Tracker to keep track of the online status of your invoices. The Idea is when you send an invoice, you will be able to confirm it was sent, seen, paid, and deposited. Sounds awesome, right? In theory, it works well, but when issues arise to the resulting payment, the Invoice tracker can be stuck, and show a nasty "NEEDS ATTENTION" alert on the invoice on your home screen or the invoice.
