Big E-Z Bookkeeping’s Tips For What Confident Business Owners Do Before Tax Time

A business owner runs calculations on a calculator.

Hero Tip #1: Review for reasonableness, not perfection

Instead of trying to fix every detail, do a quick scan:

  • Does income generally make sense for the year?
  • Do expenses look complete?
  • Are there any obvious gaps?

You’re not solving problems yet; you’re spotting them.

Hero Tip #2: Flag questions and keep moving

If something looks off, make a note and move on. Stopping to “figure it out” is what slows people down. Momentum is more important than answers at this stage.

Hero Tip #3: Start with the big buckets

Focus first on:

  • Bank account and credit card statements
  • Payment processor totals
  • Mileage totals
  • Notes on major changes (equipment, loans, hires)

When you cover these, you’ve handled most of what actually matters.

These are the kinds of moves we teach inside Tax Time Made E-Z, because confidence comes from knowing what to focus on.

If you’d like a simple place to start putting this into action, the Tax Time Kickstart Kit walks you through these exact steps with a clear checklist and a quick tune-up you can do in minutes. 

When you download the Kit, you’re also added to our VIP waitlist for the upcoming launch.

You don’t need to be perfect to be prepared.
You just need to take the next hero step.
