5 Things Your Accountant Wants You to Know Before You Start a New Business
The unglamorous things that decide whether a new business survives its first three years — from someone who has watched it go both ways.
Nobody starts a business because they love compliance. But the ones that make it are almost never the ones with the best logo.
Five things, through an accountant's eyes: how each business structure is actually taxed and what self-employment tax will cost you, why mixing personal and business money quietly destroys your deductions, when doing it yourself costs more than hiring help, the licenses and insurance nobody warns you about, and the taxes that arrive during the year rather than at the end of it.
Includes a tax and compliance calendar and a startup checklist.
