QUESTION: A recently terminated employee has elected COBRA for himself, his spouse, and his children. He notified us within a month after his termination that his spouse is disabled, received a Social Security Administration (SSA) disability determination several years ago, and is receiving Medicare. We know we must offer COBRA coverage to the entire family, but must the plan provide a disability extension (from 18 months to 29 months) due to the spouse’s disability?

Thanksgiving has always been a special day. Growing up, it was a holiday with a family gathering made special because I did not have to sit through the adults saying prayers or reading from a religious book. Thanksgiving was also special because I was with my cousins and a ton of my aunts and uncles. It seemed the goal of Thanksgiving was to have fun and a great big meal with all the extras I could fit into my stomach.

A business’ cash flow is just as important as the merits of its products or services. A business with a superior value offering has the potential to fold if it has insufficient cash flow. Business owners and managers who prioritize cash flow give their company the best chance to remain operational and win the marathon as opposed to the short-term sprint.

“It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.” I think we can agree that Charles Dickens’s famous lines ring true when looking back at 2020 and 2021 (though “best” might seem like a stretch). With employees shifting their worlds to make room for new priorities, disruptions to supply chains, new government regulations, and so on, we’ve seen Skagit County friends’ small businesses (like yours) in a non-stop “pivot” just to keep things running.

Outsourced accounting services are becoming that much more popular with each passing year for good reason. It no longer makes financial sense to pay salaries and benefits to an in-house accounting team when comparably affordable experts are available outside of the organization. Add in the fact that outsourced accounting services provide direct access to a group of accountants with diverse professional experience and the decision to lean on the outside specialists makes even more sense.

Each offers its own special spin on the products it sells, but the main focus of an MLM is on recruiting new members.

It includes salary, wages, bonuses, net pay, deductions, and more. Regardless of the number of employees in a company, the Payroll Management Process must maintain the financial records of everyone.

Doing your own accounting in accounting software such as QuickBooks Online (QBO) is relatively straightforward especially if you have set up your QBO file optimally. You periodically enter invoices, expenses, bills and allocate transactions from the banking download. And while QBO is designed for non accountants, it is also equally appreciated by many accountants for its simplicity and user friendliness (although, as with any software product, there are grievances).

When it comes to automating, many firms focus on finding the latest tech, believing that efficiency is something achieved through new tools. Yet true efficiency is achieved by delivering real value to clients, not merely by upgraded systems. Without a clear approach, no level of automation can overcome the complexities of serving every client’s needs.
