Working from Home: Ten Tips on Productivity

by | Mar 27, 2020 | Community | 0 comments

At one point or another in our careers, we’ve all found ourselves needing to work remote. For some it’s indefinite, others temporary. However, working from home can often times be a challenge when you’re accustomed to the accessibility of resources that an office setting can provide. It’s no surprise that being “at work” offers routine, higher productivity and accountability within a team.  

Enter COVID-19. You are now working remote daily, potentially with kids home from school and typical day to day routine is a thing of the past. What can you do to better the situation, for you, your work and your family as social distancing and self-quarantine become a reality? 

How to (Productively) Work from Home: 

  • Structure your day like you would the office 
  • Don’t work in your PJ’s 
  • Choose a work space 
  • Create a definitive schedule with a start and end time, inclusive of a break 
  • Plan what you’ll be working on ahead of time 
  • Keep the team calendar front of mind 
  • Stay connected to your team via email, text or teleconferencing  
  • Set expectations and boundaries for those who are home with you to limit interruptions 
  • Avoid the TV and social media while working, especially right now with constant COVID-19 updates 
  • Meal plan as if you were going into the office. 

As we modify our lives around the COVID-19 pandemic and adjust to the constraints of work/life balance from home, the best thing we can truly do for ourselves, family and work is stay positive and find a routine that allows balance.

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.

Your Year-End Tax Bill Shouldn’t Be a Surprise

December has a way of making tax planning feel urgent—but by December, you’re already behind the strategy and some of the best planning opportunities could have already passed you.

Fall Accounting

It’s like spring cleaning, but now we’re working on it in between Back to School and Football and Pumpkins and Mostly Great Weather!

Trump Accounts: What Parents—Especially Michigan Families—Need to Know

Trump Accounts are a new type of savings vehicle designed to help families build long-term financial resources for children. Structured as a special type of traditional IRA, these accounts have specific rules governing eligibility, contributions, investments, and withdrawals.

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.

Federal Updates on Tip And Overtime Tax Deductions

Recent federal tax legislation introduced new deductions related to qualified tip income and overtime pay. These changes may benefit eligible employees while also creating additional reporting responsibilities for employers. At Senter CPA, we are helping both businesses and individual taxpayers understand how these rules apply and how to stay compliant.

1099 Filing Requirements Update! Yes, this is good news!

The reporting amount threshold has increased. Yes, you read that right! The old $600 filing requirement for 1099-MISC & 1099-NECs has been increased to $2,000, with some minor exceptions.

To jog your memory, if you need it, you are required to file 1099s to those who you pay for rent, contract labor (not through your payroll), interest, etc. The 1099-MISC is most commonly used to report rent, while the 1099-NEC is mostly used to report non-employee compensation to most everyone.

Mid-Year Financial Checkup Checklist: Are You on Track for 2026?

Summer is a good time to check in on your finances. The year is already halfway over, which makes it easier to see what’s working and what might need attention. Maybe your income has changed. Maybe you’ve spent more than expected or fallen behind on a savings goal.

Understanding Quarterly Estimated Tax Payments

If you’re self-employed, a freelancer, or a small business owner, quarterly estimated tax payments are an important part of staying current with your federal tax obligations. Because taxes typically aren’t withheld from self-employment income, the IRS requires many taxpayers to pay taxes throughout the year instead of waiting until they file their annual return. Making timely estimated payments can help avoid a large tax bill and potential underpayment penalties.
