A paid consultation is an exchange of value.

This week, everyone’s favorite podcast host (our own Jamie O’Kane, CPA) talks about paid consultations. This is something that can be a hotly debated issue in some circles, but it needs to be taken into consideration for your business. Today we’re talking about why we do paid consultations, why it is important for Jamie’s business model, and why it could be important for your business model as well. Let’s get into it!

What tax deductions you ask?

1. Cell phone. Can you just straight deduct this?

2. Meals - some say these are 100% deductible.

3. Vehicles. Don't get me started...

4. Children!

5. Your EQUIPMENT! This is especially important for our veterinarians!

Until next time, be abundant!

Let's ask our favorite CPA!

For our newest series, Jamie is going to review some advice on TaxTok (a.k.a. the corners of TikTok where taxes are discussed). Can you/should you take tax advice from strangers on the internet? How much knowledge can people fit into a 60 second video? More importantly, how accurate is the advice that they're giving? Luckily, our favorite CPA is here to clarify and give us some insight. Remember, y'all: you should always consult with a trusted tax professional before you make any tax decisions.

Stop wasting your time and your money.

It happens to all of us from time to time. We get stuck in a rut, running through our processes the same way we’ve always done them. It works, but does it work well? This is why we’ve got to stop and ask ourselves: is this the highest and best use of our time and resources?

Today’s guest, Rachel Lemcke, is here to talk about improving the efficiency of veterinary practices, starting with the laboratory. Rachel is the owner of Amwell Data Services, a full service independent veterinary laboratory consulting agency. She formed Amwell Data Services to help give veterinarians and their teams more margin with the larger goal of helping make careers in veterinary medicine more sustainable.

Let’s get you to where you want to be!

As we start wrapping up 2022, we begin focusing more on 2023. Have you started setting goals for the next year? If you have or haven’t, here is a short list some of our favorite clips of things to inspire you to think a little bit deeper and set bigger goals.

1: Think about increasing your prices. Do your research! Ask your team of experts what is possible for you!

2: Be honest about who you are, what you can do, and what you aspire to be. 

3. Treat your people well and focus more on the work culture you’re building in your business. You can train people to do what you need them to do, but you can’t change their personality. 

4. Know your purpose and know your limiting beliefs. Identify what matters the most and as much of that as possible!

5. When it comes to marketing, put the focus on the things that YOU own: your website, your email list, and your brand. Social media is fantastic for getting your name out there, but it is ultimately not something that you have any control over.

We hope this small list gives you some frame of reference for what you can do to grow in 2023. We believe in you!

And that number keeps going up!

You read that correctly. We’re still working with clients to help them claim the Employee Retention Tax Credit! Is it hard? Meh, not really. It is worth it? That’s a resounding YES!

Today’s episode is the final installment of our ERC success story miniseries. For one final time, we’re taking a look at another business that we’ve helped qualify and apply for the ERC. We’ll start by covering some basics about this client's businesses, how we qualified them, and how much they were able to claim. Last but certainly not least, we'll go over what it takes to qualify and how you can go about figuring out what you could potentially claim.

The Abundant Beans Team hopes that you’ve enjoyed this miniseries. We also hope we have helped you learn a bit more about the ERC in general. Additionally, we hope that we’ve been able to showcase what our firm does. Y’all, we’re so much more than just tax returns! We are committed to helping people grow their businesses, meet their goals, and live their very best lives.

Could YOU use $275,000 in Tax Credits?

I mean... it wouldn't hurt, right?? Imagine what you could do with several thousand to several HUNDRED thousand dollars to invest back into your business, your people, and yourself. The pandemic knocked the wind out of all of our collective sails and now's the time to start building back up. Let's go!

"Ehhh, all that ERC filing hassle won't be worth it for my small business!"

Boy howdy, you could not be more wrong! I don't know your threshold for measuring "worth it" but I would wager that several thousand dollars or several HUNDRED thousand dollars would absolutely be worth the hassle.

In our second episode in our ERC miniseries, we're going to be taking a closer look at a couple small businesses that we have helped claim the Employee Retention Tax Credit. We also cover what it takes to qualify and how you can go about figuring out what you could potentially claim!

Not convinced that it's worth it? Let's take a look!

You might be thinking, "What?! Another ERC episode? Are you serious, Jamie??" 

YES! I am so serious. In fact, today's episode is the first of a short series that will highlight some of our clients' success stories with the Employee Retention Tax Credit. We've been talking about this quite a bit lately, but for good reason! Several thousand to several HUNDRED thousand dollars could be waiting for you to claim. Imagine what a difference that much money would make for your business, your employees, and yourself! 

Today, we'll be talking about one of our clients' experience with the ERC and the result. We'll talk about every step we took in our research, how the client qualified for the ERC, and the amount they were able to claim (spoiler: it's a lot).
