You can deduct ordinary and necessary business expenses, which reduce your taxable net income dollar-for-dollar.
Some of the bigger deductions to check for include:
โข Home office expenses
โข Business mileage
โข Self-employed health insurance premiums
โข The business portion of your phone and internet
โข Software, web hosting, cloud storage, and other business tools
But having the expense isn't always enough. You also need the records to back it up.
Vehicle mileage is a good example. An end-of-year estimate can put your entire mileage deduction at risk if you don't have a detailed log showing the dates, miles driven, and business purpose.

If cash feels tight in your business, start by collecting money that's already owed to you.
Here are three places you can start:
1. Audit monthly software and vendor subscriptions, and cancel whatever isn't bringing in revenue or saving time.
2. Send follow-ups on overdue invoices past 15 days (uncollected money is an interest-free loan you're giving away).
3. Offer an add-on service to active clients, which takes less effort than landing a new customer.
Cash flow problems are usually a system issue, not a personal failure.
Send us a DM if you want another set of eyes on your expenses and unpaid invoices.

You should start reviewing your payroll records before Q3 closes so that you have time to catch problems while you can still address them.
A few things to check now:
1. Do your payroll reports match your general ledger?
2. Are any manual or voided checks creating discrepancies?
3. Do you have the right information on file for your contractors?
4. Are your payroll wage categories recorded correctly?
You have a three-month buffer to get those records cleaned up before December 31.
And if you want help reviewing the numbers, donโt hesitate to reach out (especially before Q4 gets too far along).
