Thank you!

by | Nov 1, 2022 | Community, Team

To our valued clients & friends,

What a tax year this has been! With all the changes to current tax laws and the tax and accounting industry it definitely keeps things interesting. We speak with CPA’s, firm owners and other business professionals who all strive to provide excellent service. We are not struggling alone.

There are a few things we did not do as well as we would have hoped for. It took too long to complete tax returns that were on extension and our communication with clients, future clients, friends, and colleagues needed improvement.

On the other hand, the things we did well consisted of completing tax returns on time (including extensions) for those who gave us documents in a timely manner. We strengthened our TEAM by adding a new Office Manager, Lisa Haiss,  and Staff Accountant, Josh Legant. We continue to strengthen our policies and procedures to improve on the things we did not do well.

We are incredibly grateful for, and overwhelmed by, the amazing support that we continue to receive from the community, our family and colleagues.

We owe everything to our wonderful clients, and we want to THANK YOU for your patience, your understanding, and your trust.

We will spend the remainder of the year doing tax planning, further strengthening our processes, and preparing for the next tax season.

From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You!

We are sure the 2022 tax season will have its fair share of challenges, but we are excited to tackle any that we face, and we look forward to doing it with you.

Sincerely,
Matthew R. Senter and Senter, CPA Team

Planning Ahead: Small Steps That Can Save Big Later

Even in the middle of tax season, it’s not too late to make moves that can save your business money and headaches down the line. Many business owners get caught up in the day-to-day and wait until the very end to think about taxes. The truth is, a few small steps now can make a big difference later.

Keep Your Receipts Nearby and Organized

Business owners understand that receipts are everywhere and also can seemingly end up nowhere to be found.

Are Unused Subscriptions Costing You Money?

As household expenses continue to rise, identifying unnecessary recurring charges is a practical way to improve cash flow without making significant lifestyle changes. Many consumers unknowingly pay for subscriptions they no longer use, forgot to cancel after a free trial, or no longer find valuable. While individual charges may seem insignificant, the combined annual cost can amount to hundreds of dollars.

Senter Forward: The Kind of Client Relationship We Want to Build

I will start with something that may sound strange coming from a CPA firm: we are not trying to take every piece of work that walks through the door.
We have reached a point where the question is less “Can we prepare this return?” and more “Can we build a relationship here where our team can actually help?” That difference matters.
