As we approach the end of the year, we want to extend warm wishes to you and your loved ones. The team at Myrick CPA hopes this finds you in good spirits, anticipating the fresh opportunities and successes the New Year will bring.
The end of the year has always been one of the most hectic times for business owners. Moving forward into the new year, it's always a good exercise to thoroughly assess your financials and your tax options, enabling you to get a realistic picture of how the business performed - and what changes you might want to implement for future growth - in other words, preparing your business for 2023.

While this brought many technical and procedural challenges, it’s also changed the nature of business overhead costs.
While anyone can start a business, not everyone can make it a successful one. Entrepreneurs don’t think like everyone else.

I explain that tax efficiency is simply an attempt to minimize tax liability when given many different financial decisions. The tax code offers many ways to reduce your tax liabilities if you know how to use it. Your income can be converted into assets with smart tax planning. The real key to building wealth lies in creating assets.
As a small business owner, you're probably busy monitoring operations and dealing with everyday problems. But there are five important aspects of your business strategy that you should review and update every year. These updates are essential to maintain successful small business growth strategies.
