THE Wine Accountant!
One thing I am confident about is that you need a good team.

This does not mean you need to hire employees. Nothing wrong with being a solopreneur.

But you need to surround yourself with people you trust!

I am sitting around thinking about how I continue to add value to the product we provide our clients.

We produce a lot of content for them as an add on to the accounting work.

But I wonder how many actually read what we give them.

Ever feel like you are talking into a void?

If you want to be a sort-after accountant, learn to communicate!

This is a helpful image for all those wondering what is happening in the BOI world.

Reviewing your profit and loss statement is important.

But do not forget to review your balance sheet.

There is a lot of critical information in that document.

I just saw someone on LinkedIn whose headline was all about Quickbooks and how they are a pro at it. Then, in their post, they said they only work with Xero.

What am I missing here?

I am not sure when it happened, but I love that biltong is super popular and accessible in the US now!

Unless there is something happening in DC that will take that away from me?!

Or at least where it was on Friday.

Probably different by tomorrow.

Enjoy!
BOI relief! Is the rollercoaster done?

I am traveling again this week.

I am off to Paso Robles to attend Central Coast Insights.

A couple days filled with education, networking, and some good food and drink.

Remember, technical ability is expected. It is not a competitve advantage.

One of the best ways to test your firms process work?

Have someone go on maternity or paternity leave!

I am so proud of our achievements in the last 11 years!

My team keeps pushing the vision to help winery owners with good quality financial information.

Time to keep pushing!

This is a big change.

The rollercoaster continues and likely more changes to this slightly controversial legislation to come!
Last night FinCEN announced that no fines or penalties will be issued, and no enforcement actions will be taken, until a forthcoming interim final rule becomes effective and the new relevant due dates in the interim final rule have passed.

Today I am skipping work to allow my kid to skip school so he can attend a gymnastics meet.

I feel like I have just entered a new phase of life!
