I love sandstone.  I love everything about it - the easily observed layers of differently colored sediment, how it cements together after years and years of patient compression to form a solid, beautiful mass that sometimes glitters.  These pictures are from the Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas and I took them while hiking there [...]

Halloween is right around the corner. Costume prep and candy purchases are in full swing at my house. In keeping with the spooky shenanigans going on this month, let’s talk a little bit about what scares us. For some, it’s spiders that give them the chills.  Others may fear public speaking, or maybe your business [...]

Did you miss us??  We missed YOU!  We took our purposeful pause beginning last Spring and we're back!  This past weekend we kicked off the 2019-2020 bookkeeping coaching season by treating ourselves to a working retreat (don't worry - we ALWAYS make time for fun!). We stayed at a cute Airbnb that gave us just [...]

It's finally here!  The day we've all been waiting for: Tax Day 2019.  Hopefully this means the crying and cussing has stopped and you can sit back and relax before doing it all again next year.  It feels good, right?  What's more is now we can really focus on implementing the promises Stacy talked about last [...]

The post Tax Time Promises to Ourselves appeared first on BF Bookkeeping.

Spring break, spring cleaning and tax preparation. What do they all have in common? It’s what most of my contacts on social media are currently doing, thinking or stressing about. Ah, spring! We seem to both love you and dislike you at the same time. And speaking of time, every small business owner is trying [...]

Spring has arrived in WI and it's making me want to shift not only the clutter in my office, but the energy there, too.  After the long and snowy winter, my mind and body are aching for an uplifting shift.  Spring does that; it's a time for renewal and planting seeds of growth. About 12 [...]
